Yes !!!! It will be a previeuw I fear. This collection is very classy grey/deep red tones and also an amazing trio ( I won't purchase because of the green eyeshadow but High Society is beautiful ! ), since I've known Nars I have always bought from their collections, Christine from Temptalia recently reviewed on Nars make-up for Don Giovanni ( in New York ? ), in my opinion M.A.C and Nars are artistic makeup brands, MUFE too in its way but definitely not so sophisticated and classy as Nars is.

If the collection launches in mid-july (like last year), then NARS will probably release official information 8 to 10 days before that. So hopefully in the next few days. *fingers crossed* I can't wait because I'm curious about Vent Glacé color description.
I'm so glad the website has been updated! Finally in Europe we get to have our version of the classy US website.
Not that it was bad before, but this is a definite improvement imho.

Thank you!
Apparently the release date is july 15th. Only the Trio Eyeshadow and Nail Polish are limited edition. This information comes from one source, so take it with a grain of salt until another source confirms. But still, the release date makes sense, and Trio Eyeshadows are always limited editions, so that's not a shocker.

Based on the pic, Outlaw blush is really lighter than before. It doesn't look like deep red color at all! Curious.
If it said July 15th, I think the website will release around on the 12/13th.

I updated the first message of this thread with the new information. Release date of July 15th confirmed thanks to another blog btw.
Red Square is a little more orange than Heat Wave. You can see the difference thanks to Karen's swatches on Makeupandbeautyblog.

http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/cosmetics/nars-unsung-heroes-heat-wave-lipstick/
I would say Red Square is an orange-red, and Heat Wave is a red-orange.

Wow. For some reason, I thought that Outlaw was going to be a lot browner. I think I had it mixed up with something else. *adds to list
I found Karla Sugar's swatch of the original here:
http://karlasugar.net/2009/01/nars-blushes-sin-oasis-outlaw-dolce-vita-and-crazed/
Thanks very much for the launch dates, colour descriptions, etc. It's making my wallet very scared, though.
I'm potentially interested in:
* High Society Trio Eyeshadow (Limited Edition) ($45) – lavender, matte forest green, and iridescent
amethyst
* Vent Glacé Duo Eyeshadow ($34) – platinum and silver smoke
* Outlaw Blush ($28) – soft rose with golden shimmer
* Autumn Leaves Lipstick ($24) – glistening brandy
* Rouge Tribal Larger Than Life Lip Gloss ($26) – metallic burgundy
Honestly, I want to take a look at the other items too, it's just that I feel I already have items like those in my collection. I'm on the fence about the multiple as well. They're almost $50 here and I find that I don't really use them often enough to warrant the price (plus I really don't see myself using it for anything other than my cheeks). That said, I do love me a good highlighter.
The collection looks really elegant. I'm just in love with the shadow duo (of course).

There is a section of the Q&A for the collection that you might find interesting:
Quote: Question: The new Undress Me Multiple is gorgeous. Can you suggest some ways to use it?
François Nars: All our Multiples can be worn on eyes, cheeks, and lips, under and over foundation, and pretty much any other way you can imagine. Undress Me, in particular, is beautiful in the hollow of the cheeks. It also makes a wonderful highlight for brow and cheekbones, as well as a glowing base for eyes and lip color.
I'm not surprised you like the duo!

Thanks, Marie! It's very helpful. Red square looks prettier, but I think Heat wave is more wearable!
I'm curious about silver smoke color from the duo. It looks like bright khakish-gold on the pic which is different from silver smoke.lol

Thanks for the descriptions! There is no way I'm not getting:
Rouge Tribal Larger Than Life Lip Gloss ($26) – metallic burgundy
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm positive I probably will have similar glosses but I'm not passing a metallic burgundy. Nope - not gonna do it![/FONT]

@ Aquamarine1543: Happy to help! I know how much you love Velvet Matte Lip Pencils.
Here is the make-up breakdown for the Fall collection.
Quote: Designed by founder and Creative Director François Nars, the Fall 2012 Color Collection features a blend of bold, modern shades and celestial shimmers. For the campaign, Nars chose to photograph iconic ‘90s supermodel Kristen McMenamy. Having worked with Kristen in the past and for his first book, “X-Ray,” he felt that her beautiful, often otherworldly look completely epitomized the fall collection.
To achieve the makeup look featured in the campaign image, Kristen’s skin was perfected with Siberia Sheer Matte Foundation and set with Snow Loose Powder to create an immaculate complexion. Next, the Undress Me Multiple was applied to the hollows of the cheeks and blended toward the temples with fingertips.
Kristen’s top and bottom lashes were thickly lined in Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil. Next, the entire lid was colored in with the pencil in a half moon shape, from the lash line to the base of the brow bone and out towards the temple. The pencil color was then blended with a fingertip to create a smooth base. Next, the iridescent amethyst shade of High Society Trio Eyeshadow was applied to the lid and the color extended to the brow bone and towards the outer corner of the brow. The edge of this shade was blended into the lavender shade of High Society Trio Eyeshadow, then both sides of Vent Glacé Duo Eyeshadow were combined and applied to the lower lash line atop Black Moon. The eyes were lined with Via Veneto Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner and finished with two coats of Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara.
Kristen’s lips were lined and filled in with cinnamon Papua Lip Liner Pencil, blended for a softer effect, and topped with Belize Lip Gloss.
Storm Bird Nail Polish on nails completed the look.

Nars can do no wrong to me...I've been smitten with them for years and no brand can ever do better i say
If this collection is released sometimes in August in Canada it'll be great for me. I'm due late August so I treat myself to some Nars pre-baby For the last 6 months I've bought only things for baby and nothing for myself.....So far I'm loving:
- Autumn Leaves l/s OMG this looks like the perfect fall shade and very unique
- Vent Glace duo - looks like a must have to me and I love Nars duos
- High Society trio - I have similar shades so this one I should swatch first
- High Society Multiple - the multiple addict in me has to have this!

I LOVE Heat Wave...the two are similar but Heat Wave is redder and has better colour payoff IMO. If you're gonna get one get Heat Wave...it's my staple red lipstick every summerBy the way, I have one quick question.
What's the difference between Red square and Heat wave?
I want to buy one of them, but it looks really similar to me.:S

@Shadowy Lady: Thanks for the answer! It's my first time to try reddish-orange lipsticks!
By the way, according to NARS FB, they said the fall collection will be available on the 13th!
Is anybody planning to get Undressed me multiple?
I'm not sure whether I have to buy it because I don't use multiples often (I don't know why). :S
But the problem is the color sounds/looks really gorgeous!!!

Do you mind me asking why is this the case? Is it because you already have a lot of makeup, or maybe it's because you've already seen something similar before? I know I'm getting Oasis for my NARS blush collection and I'm thinking about getting Autumn Leaves lipstick. I only have one NARS lipstick in Afghan Red.
