Jolie Poupee eyeshadow duo / [unknown] / All Night Long / [unknown] / Caneille
When I was visiting the MAC counter last Thursday, I noticed NARS’ holiday launch was out. I swatched everything on the displayer, but curiously enough… there were more products on the displayer than listed in the details I’ve read as well as NARS’ website. This is why two shades are listed as “unknown” in the above photo.
I’m going to have to wait until I receive my products to give this launch a full review, because some of the shadows (namely Silent Night) did not swatch well at all, but it may have been due to people’s oily fingers mucking up the tester. (Boo!) But I can say that Jolie Poupee duo is gorgeous and richly pigmented! Super Orgasm is quite lovely, and I hope it will work for me! The lipgloss and lipstick were pretty, but they didn’t really connect with me. The multiples always tempt me, but the price tag tends to keep me from taking them home. It’s just a product I know I’d use once or twice and never again! Anyone got some Multiples they want to sell me on the cheap? 
More swatches…
Sertao* / Gilda / Super Orgasm / St. Barts* / Palm Beach* / Orgasm
Silent Night / Night Life / Night Breed / Night Flight / Orgasm Polish (bottom right)
* I think these are the correct shades, but I’m not 100% due to the fact that they were on the holiday displayer, yet not listed as part of the holiday launch.
yes i felt the same with the silent night and night life as well. is the super orgasm too shimmery as i’ve heard?
Oh no! Do you think that’s the way they are? Were your testers yucky?
I’m so buying Jolie Poupee
It was quite stunning in person!
that purple eyeshadow is great!
Definitely, T.C.!
Thanks for the Super Orgasm swatch!
No prob, Kelly
WOW! I so want that e/s duo in purple! I adore my Night Porter and want all the NARS shadows. Damn you, NARS! ;D
NARS is hard to resist
I agree with rocketqueen, that duo is to die for!! Just when I’m lusting for some purples, too. I totally agree with you about the Multiples, I wish they had a half size or something!! And Super Orgasm is awesome.
I just can’t get over the price, OMG. I can’t figure out the why and what behind that price tag.
I want the e/s purple one. It’s so beautiful!!
It turned out to be so stunning!
Multiples are expensive but they last forever, my faves are St. Barts & Mustique (which I think they are dc’ing). What did you order Christine?
Oh, I bet they do last forever!
I haven’t ordered yet. I am trying to hold off until Sephora’s F&F, LOL.
Man, I wish we got that in Canada – I would so be buying NARS and many gift sets (for myself
).
I own and love Mustique!! I’ll be sad if they d/c it…I’ll have to ask my NARS peeps.
I think i’ll have the e/s duo! Thanks for the swatches!
Sure thing, Milan
Thank you so much for these swatches Christine!! I really love the look of Jolie Poupee and the *Night* e/s series looks very tempting too (I recently got Night Star) and many of them are on my wishlist
My pleasure, Daantje!
Jolie Poupee is beautiful. I’ve seen super orgasm, and swatched it, I like orgasm a lotta better. Super orgasm is wayyyy too glittery form.
It’s been sooo long since I’ve seen Orgasm, to be honest!
I’m thoroughly disappointed by how Silent Night swatches
I’ll have to check it out myself when I can, but I don’t think I’ll be getting it now…like I thought I might be.
I’m really hoping it was just the oily tester
‘Cause that often makes things virtually un-swatchable!
