Nars for Rodarte Spring 2012
Rodarte marches to the beat of its own drum, and so their Spring 2012 makeup doesn’t follow usual spring trends. That’s a good thing. This look is beautiful and you can do it anytime. Incidentally, I do a navy shimmery smoky eye all the time because it goes rather well with brown eyes. Products used [...]
Nars Makeup at Naeem Kahn for Spring 2012
I usually don’t take that much interest in the makeup from Fashion Weeks, but this year is different. There are a ton of looks that are so beautiful and wearable and good for next spring and right now. In particular: what Nars did at Naeem Kahn. Kahn’s inspiration was a sophisticated Spanish woman, and the [...]
New! Nars Larger Than Life Lipgloss
Launching August 1st, exclusively at Sephora, is Nars’ Larger Than Life Lipgloss. Available in 9 colours, this lipgloss is said to naturally enhance volume. It’s a big of a stickier formula than the original Nars glosses, and kind of reminds me of Lipglass. The formula is super shiny and stays put for a long time. [...]
Polish Swatch – Nars Kismet
Kismet was part of Nars’ Summer 2011 collection and is a jaundiced gold colour. The polish is pigmented enough – 2 coats to opaque coverage which is nice. The shimmer is soft and pretty which I love. It kind of looks like my nails are glowing. Honestly, I didn’t love the colour when I first [...]
Nars Ecume Swatch
Nars Ecume isn’t quite a white, but more of a greyish white. It’s a colour that I really wanted to love, but unfortunately, it was just too opaque and creamy for me, even though that’s something that I usually look for in a nail polish. The colour was just too much like white out and [...]
Nars Make Up Your Mind
Legendary makeup artist, Francois Nars, launched his new book last week, titled Make Up Your Mind: Express Yourself. Retailing for $50 this book takes real people (really!) and infuses them with glamour through the application of makeup. When I say that these people are real, I mean it. They aren’t models with super high cheek [...]
Laguna Body Illuminator Review
Body bronzer is a must have for the summer because it makes your skin look glowing and healthy. It can disguise blemishes and make arms and legs look more tanned. The problem is that the body oils rub off on clothes, furniture, and people and make clean up essential. But the NARS Laguna Body Illuminator [...]

Nars Summer 2011 – Laguna Collection
The Laguna Collection is not an official Nars Summer 2011 collection – I’ll post about that later, but this collection is absolutely perfect for the summer! It takes off on the cult favourite Laguna bronzer and offers it in new incarnations. The newest product is the Laguna Body Illuminator ($52). This is a golden bronze [...]
Emma Stone’s Hot Pink Lip
Last week, I mentioned how much I loved Emma Stone’s bright pink lipstick at the MET ball, and luckily, it turns out that we can all get our hands on the exact same colour because it happens to be Nars Pure Matte lipstick in Carthage which comes out for Summer 2011. Carthage is highly pigmented [...]
