I am waiting for my highlighter to arrive. nars has the worst shipping ever - from ohio to chicago 9 days.

Nice! I've been trying to resist it esp. after ordering the Bobbi Brown highlighter.
I like this, the smaller eyeshadow palette and the nude gloss

Me too! I plan to order the BB trio during the Sephora fall sale. I just removed two large cheek palettes from my wardrobe (UD & a NARS) because I don't reach for them. I do want the cheek trio from this collection ;)

I haven't picked up anything besides the highlighter yet. I can't decide if I should order online or go in store. I like ebates but Nars is taking forever to send the highlighter. I'm wondering about the large eyeshadow palette too. Where is it? Maybe it is in store. I did notice some items said exclusive on the Nars site. Maybe the large eyeshadow is a department store exclusive. I may just call a Nars store and see if the collection is in or if they are having an event. That may help me shorten my list.


Edit - my highlighter arrived!

The overexposed highlighter reminds me of one of the highlighters on the Bord de Plage Palette.
View attachment 61817 Are you finding the textures to be different?

^^^^^THIS! I just swatched the BdP yesterday and I am now rethinking not buying it. It is very nice!
Ignore the top swatches, those are DI E/S Rigal and Kari. And I think the bright indoor light has washed out the colors. :(
I cannot speak to texture comparison. I love my BdS palette and those highlighters are super soft.
Rivage is in both palettes. Again making me re-think the BdP...choices, choices...decisions, decisions...:crazy:

I got the rest of my order from Barney’s. Still waiting on the gold lipstick to launch so I can get that and the pink blush too. Anyway, here’s the Montparnasse duo, the Veil Face Palette, and a comparison of the single highlighter with the face palette one. I was afraid they would be super similar but they’re really not at all. One is gold and the other is much more rose gold

Surreal on my skintone is definitely going to be too dark, so will most likely be a blush topper for me

I just read on Nars IG that the larger eye palette will not be available in the U.S.! Talk about a slap in the face. Another item unavailable to US customers. I wonder what that is about.

Nars IG says the palette is not available for the U.S. but Temptalia is showing it. So strange. I can still hope now. Thanks.

I don't know why the IG would say that. Especially since they sent out a press sample to an US blogger! That has me so confused. The palette is launching exclusively on SpaceNK for UK. I just checked the SpaceNK USA website and they no longer carry NARS...


I hate all of these exclusive to store launches. I'm still waiting for the nude mini lipstick set to launch at Nordstrom. I went in the other day and the NARS SA wasn't even there on a Saturday...And they didn't have a display out yet.

Sounds like my Nordstrom. I think the store launches are this week. I don't remember the exact date though. I think I want that lip set too. I was debating the red set too but then I just thought of someone who would like it. So I may get one as a gift.
