We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

So far, all but Laos & Siam have caught my attention… Do you know if these will be permanent, and/or available elsewhere? Otherwise, I’ll just have to drag myself to the NARS Boutique… I think a few of these may be useful for contouring, but I really want to try them in person.

Well, at least I’ll have some time to at least wait for swatches and/or reviews, if I need to order online. In spite of my massive haul this week, there are still a few other items I’ve been on the fence about, so this will at least push me to revisit those, LOL!

I just read somewhere else they’ll be available at other NARS retailers Aprilm15, along with the rest of the Summer collection.

I think I’ve narrowed it down to 3: Altai, Anguilla, & Cappadoce.

I just found 4 of 7 in Sephora/JCP, and swatched Vientiane & Altai, both of which are very warm-toned… Anguilla is very pretty, but would be best suited for very fair, cooler-toned types, and not something I feel a need to splurge on ATM. Laos was also available, but being obviously warmer, I didn’t bother to try it.

All were very pigmented, and seemed to melt right into the skiin, so the quality is there, but just not what I’m looking for. The 2 bronzers were too similar to Tuomota, which I have, and aren’t the best for contouring. I still have Cappadoce to try, but I’m not too hopeful.

I wonder if the darker ones could be used for contouring. I’ve been looking for a good cream (matte) contour product, might have to check this one out!

On Sephora’s website, these are (were? I saw them a couple days ago up there but now they’re no longer on the website) listed as being the same price as the regular multiples, but with only about half the product (0.26 oz vs. 0.50). :/

The formula is different, so they may be more pigmented than the others, meaning less product used. Before I pass judgment on the price, I want to check out the formula. There may be a higher pigment-to-filler ratio.

The fifth one down looks really pretty! I wonder how Altai, Vientiane, and Cappadoce are going to be “bronze” and matte at the same? 😉 I hope you review these! I’m actually pretty excited for this because I like the idea of a stick blush.
