OK now I feel better about not being able to get the LORAC collections, THIS IS GORGEOUS!! But November, how will I last till then!!
I’m loving the look of that first palette! Three of the blushes are ones that I’ve wanted to try so to see them all together in the one palette must be a sign, right? A sign that I’ll be parting with some of my hard-earned cash before long! 😛
No orgasm? Shocked I tell you shocked. I think I’ll get the Blush Set because I only have the orgasm laguna duo and haven’t tried the rest of the blushes.
Too bad they still put Laguna in half of them, lol! I noticed no Orgasm in them as well but so much Laguna!
I wish instead of a double sized Laguna, they included another blush colour like Sin or something that isn’t pink or peach.. if the Blush set was a bit more diverse between colours it would totally be mine, but alas it’s not.. I wonder who decides because they have been doing a very poor job!
I thought the same thing . Nars makes beautiful colored blushes don’t understand why they didn’t include a red or wine color?? This is unnecessarily boring as they have such a good variety to choose from.
“No orgasm? Shocked I tell you shocked.”
You must not have met my ex then. *rimshot*
LMFAO!!! XD
I’m dying. Oh my gosh. Yes.
Thanks – now I have tea all over my keyboard 😉
*mops up computer, giggling*
Perfect lololololololol
I’m gagging. I die. My bank account weeps. I must have it ALL! I haven’t felt this way about color cosmetics in a few years…it feels good to have a little hardcore lust back in my life. (LOL)
Ugh, another blush palette I won’t be able to use. Would it be so hard for NARS to make a matte blush palette? Even the fine shimmer in Deep Throat and Laguna are enough for me to steer clear. I’d hate to spend $65 on a palette from which I’d use two shades.
I must say I love the aesthetic of the packaging. I could definitely see myself getting the dual layered travel palette, the pencil case, and maybe even the Roman Holiday set. I just hope the pictures aren’t to scale; otherwise the Roman Holiday blush looks like a travel-size.
Speaking of sizes, for nearly $90 that Laguna bronzer better be dang massive! Otherwise I don’t know many who would shell out an extra fifty bucks for a miniature brush and fancy packaging. And this is coming from someone who’s been known to buy cosmetics SOLELY on packaging.
I guess we’ll find out once it launches! It really bugs me when press releases will give you all the information for new products BUT the size. I can understand designer brands not including sizes since they’re supposed to be “above” the dollar-to-product ratio, but NARS? Over the past 2 years I’ve noticed them trying to creep steadily closer to a more stable high end status instead of teetering the line, but I think it may be backfiring. I’ve heard a lot of grumbling from people stating they’d rather take their money and get a designer item, or 2-3 midrange items, than spend it on NARS.
I’m still a die-hard NARS-aholic though. One day Francois shall be my husband and we will grow old together in Paris. Forget I said that . . .
Hey, girl, we all can dream, forget Paris, he has a gorgeous spread in the S. Pacific I saw SOMEWHERE in print. And speaking of fantasies, Wayne Goss is my fantasy son, he even looks like the same general gene pool as me, but far better skin, natch!
They’re still pushing Laguna but I can’t believe there is not even ONE palette with Orgasm! \o/ Have they finally started reading Nars related posts on Temptalia? 😉
I like the gift sets. They’re cute, with gorgeous packagings and obviously make it for great gifts but honestly except for Laser Cut nothing feels particularly outstading for me. Maybe I was expecting more.
Wow! I want everything!
Thank you for this post! I have been waiting on info about this collection for ages!
Do you know anything about launch dates and stores in Europe?
I don’t, but I expect they will be at similar times!
I’m impressed they managed to leave out Orgasm out of the palette, but I see they couldn’t quite give up Laguna! Oh well. I’ll be skipping the blush palette, but the lip pencil set shall be mine!
Ooooh I am sure liking the look of this! Especially now that I know where to find NARS here!
Can’t wait for swatches and reviews, my pocket bleeds
Geeeezzz.. I HATE Laguna – it’s way more orange-y than my super pale cool toned skin.. Why, NARS, why???? Why don’t you change this bronzer for one of those lovely shades of contour blushes? WHY??
D:
(crying)
That would have been such a good idea! Release the blush palette in three versions. Same blushes but different contour shades. If the blush palette had Olympia in it or even 2 other blushes I would be all over it but Laguna is too warm and dark for my fair skin.
So glad they did not put Orgasm/Super Orgasm on it like they do every funky time!
That Roman Holiday collection is calling my name <3
Will the sephora exclusives also be available in the Sephora in france?
I don’t know, unfortunately!
Has anyone used the brushes? They look so nice. This is one collection I really want – minus the Laguna, as most of you have said. 🙂
The lip glosses are gorgeous. I haven’t tried the new formulation yet, so I might pick these up. I must have at least three things with Laguna in it. It really is time for Nars to come up with something new.
Other than the small lipgloss set I’m not impressed.I am glad there is no Orgasm though.
Goodness. Nars’ is just as bad with Laguna as MAC is with carbon…
I wanted Algorithm for the brush until I saw the price! I’d rather just buy the full size brush by itself!
This is definitely a collection I can get with! 🙂 Love the multi-palette – but I think the reason it’s so appealing to me is because I don’t own any full size NARS blushes. 🙂
Not feeling Nars XMAS, either. Now it’s not Orgasm in everything, it’s Laguna! Neither color choices (too pale or have it) nor packaging (too busy) is my style. But I can’t say I don’t have my eyes on some Audacious l/s + some not-yet-stashed blushes. They’ll be around. At least the debit card isn’t jumping out of the wallet in anticipation. Maybe XMAS simply doesn’t mean makeup this year. That’d be odd….and mildly disappointing.
With no other reference, the palette in the last photo seems HUGE! And it’s pricey ($89?! for real?!) I’m not getting that huge piece of Laguna since I already have NARSSIST and basically Laguna is everywhere.
Other than that, the eye palette looks fabulous.
I like the packaging, and the ‘theme’ of this collection! As a laser chemist (yes, it’s a thing! :-D) I feel like the laser cut set was meant for me, LOL! I do like the look of the gloss and lip pencil sets though.
That is so cool that you’re a laser chemist. My husband is an engineering tech (in practice, though, a process engineer), and he helps design and make different scopes for Tektronix (he wears a lot of hats). He works with lasers, chemistry and spectroscopy quite a bit. You two would probably have a lot to talk about.
And, on topic, the lip glosses do look really pretty.
Does anyone know if Blue Mercury gets all these amazing gift sets? I have a gift card and I’m wondering if I should hold onto it!
As far as I know, they should. The blush palette and lip set are Sephora exclusives, but the rest said department/specialty.
It’ll be interesting to see the size on the lip pencils. Because last year you got 5 + the little make-up mag with blue lips on it for 5 dollars less..
I’m so impressed with the packaging and options! Christine, will you be swatching and/or reviewing any of this? I’m really interested in the gloss and lip pencil set.
Oh, that collection looks gorgeous – especially those eyeshadows. Wow – cannot wait to try them.
The sets are intended for “gifting”, so *obviously* noone is going to purchase the same shades (ie, Laguna, Orgasm) over & over for themselves. The team behind putting these together look at factors such as popularity, wearability (again, obviously not everything will be 100% “universal”, but if an item has high sales, apparently it suits a wide range of people), trends, thems, etc… Pretty much everything in these sets is permanent, or at least has a shade similar in the range, so why all the complaints? I have Laguna, and Orgasm, but I can honestly say I’d be *floored* if someone took notice of my love for the brand and bought them for me! Then again, I’m grateful for *all* gifts…
I can understand that, but let’s be real, the majority of people won’t be gifting the Blush palette. Unless I have really cheap friends, I can’t really see them spending that amount on makeup as a gift, it’ll be in the 70 range plus taxes over here in Canada. I might as well be cheap too because I wouldn’t gift that palette either, if I spend that much I’d most likely keep it lol
I also think the majority of the population doesn’t own crazy amounts of beauty products, either, LOL! I think the “average” consumer actually finishes products before buying new ones, at least from my observations. Most people I’ve known can fit *everything* into one large makeup bag, and will toss products after a while if they want to try something new.
The blush palette and the raspberry lipgloss are particularly drool-worthy. The blush palette price seems not bad at all. I don’t know if I could use the Laguna, though. It looks dark and orangey. Why such a big pan of it? Although, I guess one still would still come out ahead on the blushes. Too bad they make the Laguna single-wide, and given a lighter option in the other spot.
I really like the lazer cut “digital lace” overlay on the packaging making them especially lovely gifts. The blush palette has too many peach shades. I would have liked to see more diversity, and how about Zen instead of Laguna for a change! Also like the pretty mini lippies sets and the cool blue-based pink Roman Holiday set is calling me too.
These all look so beautiful! I love the packaging so, so much.
NARS really got it right with the packaging!! Wowee 🙂
Loving the packaging, but my ability to use that much Laguna…. :/
I love everything. I really want the blush palette for travel.
Could see myself buying the Kabuki brush set and Modern Future set. Hope the Roman Hoilday blush is as vivid as it seems in the picture!
I like the packaging, it’s really gorgeous. I also like the lipglosses. The rest is safe from me.
It’s a very pretty collection (got my eye on Roman Holiday collex) but I REALLY wish NARS would put out a blush palette as vivid as the Danmari was.
And frankly, I’m sick of NARS pimping that Laguna bronzer.
looks so good! Nars have very good pigments!! I want all of these!!!!!!!
Oh my god, dude. Everything about this collection is just //flails and makes heart eyes
The blush palette looks great but $50 for 4 mini glosses? No thanks.
I need it all, particularly the blush palette! I missed out on the last one, last year, but not this time haha.
I love the packaging! Nars blushes are the best, but I really wish they would come up with an all matte blush palette for us oily skin girls who try to stay away from anything shimmery or glitter. Am I alone on this? :/
When is the new collection arrives holidays 2014 nars she in France?
