Nars Spring 2012

[katred]

I found more swatches.

http://pursebuzz.com/2012/01/nars-spring-2012-sneak-peek-review-and-swatches-coming-soon/

Lhasa is pretty darker than I expected. hmm...

OK, I definitely want Paramaribo now. And the trio. And Mexican Rose. And Valparaiso. Although I have so many berry-type shades that I can probably wait on that one. I absolutely love Lhasa, but it does look very similar to Mac Shale, which I have, so I don't know if I should spend the money. It is my favourite kind of colour, though... Help.

I only like the swatch of Lhasa e/s but I don't really care for NARS e/s formula so I think I'll get MAC's Shale instead.

I'm skipping this collection. It's not as interesting as I thought. I just hauled some Chanel Spring stuff and it's pretty awesome, so I'm satisfied.

Is the Tinted Moisturizer no longer coming out!?

It's definitely still coming out! We just got samples at the counter and the texture is divine. Like butter onto the skin... I can't wait to wear it out! It'll be out this month

I think this picture may be for the Thakoon nail collection in May....


Oops did I just say that out loud?

 

[missmolliecule]

that;s exactly what i was worried about....i asked about the similarities between Star Sailor and the new duo a few posts up...i guess the duo's an easy skip for me then

NARS has discontinued Star Sailor and Paramaribo is its replacement

Does anybody know when the collection is available at Nordstrom website?

 

[Rinstar]

The products are on the site, just under the individual categories! Happy ordering! I am jealous, I have to wait til it comes to Sephora. I have tons of Sephora gift cards and should spend those instead of money!! I am definitely getting Paramaribo and Mexican Rose. I want the trio... I should probably not get it, but we'll see.

 

[Aquamarine1543]

For me, I have to wait until it comes to Nordstrom. I'm also def. getting duo and Mexican rose. (and Lhasa and Gaiety too!!) I can't wait.:S
Anyway, Happy ordering you too!!

Thank you for the information, missmolliecule!

Here are two promotional pictures for the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizers.





There are 9 shades. Tinted moisturizers have SPF 30 sunscreen and PA+++. According to the source, they also contain an anti-aging complex.
It will be 42€ in Europe, so I guess $45 in the US.

I can't wait to see swatches because I have Sheer Glow foundation Siberia and Gobi both (sometime, I use Siberia alone or I mix them cuz using Gobi alone is quite yellow for me as time goes on.), so I want to find out which shade of the tinted moisturizer is perfect for me !!!

 

[anita22]

Spring collection is up on the UK/EU sites now. I love the look of Lhasa eyeshadow, but I have MAC Shale and Illegal Cargo already so I might wait and swatch instore first. Bilbao lipstick also looks very pretty.

 

[pemily]

Firstly, my ass that's tinted moisturizer on the models faces!!! It's major photoshop and thickest foundation ever !!! Like come on ! Your advertising moisturizer not full coverage!!!


Secondly, this mega event at nor dies... What's it about?!? Is it like a gift time?!

I think it's a combination of models with wonderful skin, careful lighting, (heavy?) photoshop, and maybe a tinted moisturizer with decent coverage? I don't know. I guess we'll know soon enough!

I don't know exactly what the NARS mega events at Nordtroms would be. You can check Nordstrom website to see if an event is happening near you.
It says: "Come join us during NARS Beauty Week, as the NARS Stylist Team teaches you the latest beauty trends for the season. And be the first to see the Spring launches and the new NARS tinted moisturizer!"

 

[missmolliecule]

I just did a week long mega event at Nordies for NARS. We do mega events where we fly in national stylists (their bios are on the websites) and we all do skin and color consultations It's a great opportunity to come in and try our stuff, you get to sit down with one of our professionals who do ny/paris/etc fashion weeks and who work with francois on a regular basis. Especially if you want to try the new collection out or a new look or just anything. We usually have really killer gifts with purchase as well. For example for ours in minneapolis this week we were giving away the nars 15x15 palettes with a 150$ purchase! It was nuts, such a great gift. I can't promise they'll all be giving those away but if you're interested call up your local nordstrom counter and ask when they'll be having theirs and if they know who's coming! It's always fun. This week I was working with Norman Sands and Jake Broullard. You can see Jake in the behind the scenes video from the rodarte show last season on the NARS youtube channel

long story short.... go if you can! mega events are awesome!

 

[missmolliecule]

Also, I tested out the tinted moisturizer this week. YES, it really is that awesome. We had samples sent to us at the Nordstrom I was visiting so again, call yours up to see if they have them and try it out!!

Can you give us some information about shades?
I'm NC10/NC10~15 and I have Sheer glow Siberia and Gobi because I sometimes use Siberia alone or mix them.
(Using Sheer Glow Gobi alone is quite yellow for me as time goes on. oh and I use Firming foundation Siberia too.)

I heard there're 9 shades of them which are fewer than Sheer Glow foundation's, I think.
Do you have any idea which shade that I should use?

Here is a little review from someone who tried the Tinted Moisturizer.

Quote: The SA (...) told me she'd give me a sample, which she thought might be a good match for me (they only have samples in one color). I tried it, and I cannot wait to get the full size! I use NARS Sheer Glow liquid foundation in STROMBOLI (MED 3) and the tinted moisturizer is ALASKA (LIGHT 2), so it is a bit light for me.The texture of this is very light, very liquidy, smooth, and actually has some coverage. It goes on smoothly, and I didn't have to use a lot. I have combo skin, dry in the cheek area, and this tinted moisturizer alone might be not enough moisture for this time of year here (I live in Colorado), but still gives a dewy look. I love the NARS Sheer Glow foundation that I use now because it is also light in consistency for a foundation, with great coverage without being cakey, and this new tinted moisturizer is a lighter version of it...will be perfect for spring/summer. And SPF 30!!!

It has a slight scent, but I don't think it is on purpose...just a distinctive smell that is not overpowering. I cannot tolerate fragrances in skincare products well, and it does not bother me. There is no glitter, no shimmer, no sparkle. No tacky feeling, not greasy. Hardly noticeable that I have it on as it is so light in texture.

I haven't seen all of the shades yet, only the second lightest, which is Alaska. It's comparable to the fiji/ceylan. From what I've heard, the lightest shade is more comparable to siberia/mont blanc/gobi so I think it'll work for you! I don't remember the shade name, sorry!

I wouldn't worry about there only being 9 shades, they're still going to go very light and very dark. Because a tinted moisturizer is a lighter coverage, more people of differing skin tones can be grouped into the same shade, so there's no need to have as many!
