Throwback to this Nars’ 2011 spring collection which I really loved and wore lots of. This saw the launch of the Velvet Gloss pencils.
Have a look at the glosses on offer ($28 each). Nars enters the black lipgloss arena with their own offering: Nana. Instead of being an actual black, this is a deep grape colour that’s sheer so it can be worn on its own or over lipstick for a dramatically dark lip.
However, my favourites are the Angelika and Super Orgasm lip glosses. I actually have Angelika blush and it’s nice to be able to match a gloss to it absolutely perfect because it’s such a bright colour. The gloss is sheer but has enough of a bright pigment to really wake up your look. Super Orgasm is very similar to the Orgasm lip gloss. It’s the same hue with a bit more glitter. It’s not as super glittery as the blush, which to be honest, is a relief. I found the Super Orgasm blush to be very unwearable because of all the glitter.
If you haven’t tried Nars lip glosses, you should – they are a treat. They provide a cushion of non-sticky moisture and protection to your lips while giving an ample dose of colour.
The two eyeshadow duos ($38) are called Bateau Ivre (limited edition) and Nouveau Monde. Bateau Ivre is the sky blue and denim colours in a shimmer and matte formulas. The other duo is a silvery lilac colour paired with a golden olive green.
There is also a lipstick and pure matte lipstick in the mix ($30 each). The lipstick itself is awesome. Called Tzigane, this is a nude pinky brown that will look good on almost anyone. It is an easy to wear, sheer colour. The pure matte lipstick is called Madere and I know that most people will not be able to wear this. The colour is a light beige peach, that will only suit the fairest complexions. It may serve well as a base to lipgloss because it will make your lips look devoid of any colour.
The nail colour ($21) is called Desperado and is a bronze. Stay tuned for a swatch, but here’s the bottle for now.
