@Monsy: Is the collection available at narscosmetics.com already? Where is it? I just visited the website, but I couldn't find it.:(

I really want the duo, grey shades look so subtle. Considering I will wear it with a deep red lipstick I need Vent Glacé. The trio is beautiful but a deep green means no for me.

Still thinking this is going to be an epic haul for me. Looking at:

Vent Glace
High Society (depending on how it swatches in person)
Outlaw
Autumn Leaves
Rouge Tribal

Here's another Vent Glace review:

http://thebeautyalchemist.blogspot.kr/2012/07/nars-vent-glace-eyeshadow-duo-fall-2012.html


I think I should pass this too because all of the reviewers said it has greenish tone(maybe the right side of the duo) in there which doesn't go with me.:(


and here's Undress me multiple (right below the duo):

She said it looks like pinker version of Copacabana. If it is, I should pass.
You might want to check it in person (if you can), since neutral shades like this often shift their undertone depending on the exact shade of your skin. I've seen shades that look greenish/ brownish on some that look like cool greys on me. Not that I'm trying to enable...

@Katred: As you said, maybe I'll drop by a store when it's available. Thanks for the advice in anyway.:)


I just ordered Outlaw and two other items(not from the fall collection).
I'll pass Undress me because I know I don't use it often if I have, so I think it's waste of money.

Just got a call from one of my Nars counters to come to an "early sales" event for their "good customers" (that's what they call people who spend too much money there, I think). So I guess I'll get to meet the collection in person next Friday.

Just for your information ladies, Nordstrom has Fall collection out. My daugther couldn't pass Outlaw. Blush is gorgeous! I tested eyeshadows and was underwhelmed. I really like darker shade in Vent Glace, I wish they would uese platinum color instead of silver for the lighter shade. Its just too cool. Trio is unigue and dark green and purple colors are very pigmented. According to the dispaly trio is limited. What came home with me? Lipstick Autumn leaves. It was love from the first sight. Dark red-rusty-brown color is so flaterring, it applies somewhet sheer and color is buildable which I love.

Outlaw and Autumn leaves are my picks from the collection too. I have Mindgame, described as a sheer brandy, is Autumn Leaves similar?

I placed an order on Friday morning and it is still in progress. I can't wait to get Outlaw!
Does anybody (who ordered at narscosmetics.com) already get any items of the fall collection?

i can't believe the fall collections are out! it's hard to think of fall when i'm sweating profusely just from typing... but, i have to admit i'm looking forward to the cool weather...fall is my favourite season hands down.

i'm loving the look of this collection now that swatches are out...there are a fair number of items on my wish-list, but i think i will have to drastically pare it down so that it's more manageable!

top of my list is autumn leaves. i can't decide if second is outlaw or the trio. with outlaw i'm a bit concerned whether it'll show up nicely on my skintone...with the trio i'm worried about the lavender on my skintone. sometimes those icy colours just don't work for me...(hence vent glace not on my list).

oh wait, i like how that gloss looks too. not sure where to put it on my list. i think i'm going to have to go in to one of the counters this week to swatch and decide!

katred, do you know which counters have the collection out already near us?

T has her first review up. So-so on Vent Glace:

Aradhana- I don't think anyone has the collection out yet, although I wasn't in Holt's this week. I know that The Bay downtown is having a special "pre-launch" event on Thursday and Friday, so they may have swung a deal to get it a couple of days earlier than everybody else. If you go by the counter or call them, they'll set you up with an appointment, I'm certain.

Also, I noticed that the collection is live on the Canadian web site as well too... The relaunch of the web site last year REALLY sped up their collections up here. We used to be a good month behind the States, at least.

I'm seriously going to have to rein myself in next week, because nothing I see is silencing the "buy all the things" voice in my head.
