I love the look of Soleil d’Orient and the eyeshadows 🙂 Thanks for the sneak peek!
OMG that is the one thing from the collex i have to have or i will die
I love the eyshadows and nail polishes.
not much of a gloss girl, but i’m digging all the glosses , especially corsica .
Soleil is gorgeous! Closer to what I expected the Guerlain gloss to look like. I’m loving Adriatic Hardwired, too. Perfect semi-opaque nude for use pale ladies. :3
Superbly wowwwww 🙂
Corsica looks really pretty :O
I need almost EVERYTHING. Good thing I can skip on most of the MAC Holiday stuff. 😀
Corsica, Almeria and Gabon. Spevially Almeria.
Corsica lipgloss looks gorgeous!
Femme Fleur en Corsica immediately drew my attention! As did the eyeshadows. More! Moooore! 🙂
wonder if NARS Almeria Blush is a dupe for Mac desert rose blush
OMG Almeria! This years Holiday Collection is kind of disappointing to me but I am pretty sure I NEED Almeria!!!
Wow! I love every single thing that you swatched in this post! Looks like they all have impressive quality!
Canberra, Burning Love, Corsica, Deadly Catch, and Adriatic for me. Though Adriatic I have to swatch so I’ll be heading to my favorite SA at Nordstrom for that. Looks sheerer than I hoped. I wanted a super intense nude that I could use with Turkish Delight (my lips are extremely pigmented). Something pigmented and creamy like MAC Saint German but in a very light cream nude instead of pink. Gotta see how it layers up.
And of course have to compare Deadly Catch to Future Red and Audacious Carmen. NARS makes my favorite orange-reds and this one looks so gorgeous. Must play. Very excited but probably shouldn’t get too hopeful about Adriatic. Thanks, Christine!
Wow, the collection looks really nice with wonderful textures and pigmentation! I was not impressed when I saw the promo images, but the swatches have proved me otherwise.
Thanks for the quick turnaround on everything. You are simply amazing!
Deadly Catch, Burning Love and Corsica look amazing!!!
Canberra. So gorgeous. Such a shame that kind of colors make me look like I’ve just been on a fight.. where I’ve been punched in the face.. and came out of it a loser.. ahah
Sherwood! Gorgeous! Need!
Totally loving Canberra and Gabon eyeshadows (though I am STILL waiting for the Sephora stores here in Canada to get Jardin Perdu….I hope I’m not waiting in vain!). I like that red gloss as well!
Jardin Perdu hasn’t even hit US Sephora stores, or online… I grabbed mine at Nordstrom.
You can order it from narscosmetics.com, they ship to Canada. This how I got my Dominique lipstick, tropical princess duo and lost coast duo. Sephora never got those two duos, think it must have been exclusive to certain stores.
I think that Sephora was listed as one of the retailers for Jardin Perdu. I’m content to wait because I already have Kauai and the purples are, supposedly, really close so it’s the left side I want to check out first because if I can find a dupe of that (perhaps from the new Nars shadows – the dual intensity ones or whatever they’re called) it might make more sense just to purchase that one shadow rather than another duo….or maybe not! But I have to be able to see it/check it out first!
I completey understand! 🙂
I’m also really loving my Kauai duo! Soooo pretty!!
Wow there’s a lot of pretty stuff in this collection! Femme Fleur lipstick, Corsica gloss and Sherwood nail polish for me! The Almeria blush looks interesting too – curious to hear how it performs and whether I already have any dupes.
Canberra is so pretty! I don’t think I own an eye shadow that isn’t in a palette, but I’m about to now!
Omg Corsica looks beautiful. I don’t think I have a shade like that in my collection, so I just might have to get it 😀
the first red lipstick looks AMAZING!! All of them look so pigmented, can’t wait to try them!
The purple shadow looks like Kauai/Jardin Perdu, the khaki looks similar enough to Night Clubbing, and the white isn’t too far off from the white in Exotic Dance. However, all 3 will end up in my stash, LOL! I’ll also likely end up with the nude lipstick & golden gloss, and most definitely the blush…
Corsica Lipgloss is right up my alley!
All of it looks so pretty on you!
Blue based reds are my weakness! Nars blushes are my favorite makeup items so I can’t pass Almeria. It’s a good thing Nars collections don’t sellout as fast as MAC’s.
OMG, I’m in love with the glosses and shadows!
Definitely getting the Burning Love lipgloss, and probably the blush as long as it’s not too similar to Dolce Vita.
Algonquin nail polish is the most tempting for me. How was it applying?
I’m quite liking this overall. Seems extremely dupable, yet well executed in all ways, which I’m guessing also performs well. Thanks for the peek-a-boo! Looking forward to more! Have I missed Guerlain reviewed here? I saw the lipstick.. <3 🙂
Almeria looks really promising!
All the glosses and Deadly Catch are absolutely gorgeous!
I love the Burning Love Lipgloss, and I really like the finishes on the nail polishes as well!
Almeria is calling my name loud and clear! 🙂
Corsica needs to be mine.
Need Femme Fleur! It’s exactly the color and depth that work with my dark Berry lips to create a perfect red red. Yay! 🙂
Looks promising…but I’m about giving up on being too excited by holiday offerings. So many are turning out to be “meh” quality-wise. I am liking the looks of the eyeshadows, the Algonquin nail polish, and the Almeria Blush.
WOW! A totally DAZZLING collection! My favorite of the season!
I too am loving the lip glosses. Corsica has got my name on it!!
The one thing that stands out for me is the Burning Love Lipgloss which, of course, looks way too intense for me. (Or… perhaps not?) But — WOW– it looks amazing on you!
Ahhh this is so exciting, I live in Canberra and I will definitely have to pick the eyeshadow up, if only for the name. It looks quite similar/reminds me of the purple shade in the kauai duo which I missed out on so that is a massive bonus :))
LOVES! Thank you so much for the sneak peak, Christine! I’m not interested on the lipsticks, nail polishes or Soleil d’Orient, but the rest… LOVE!
NARS Femme Fleur Hardwired Lipstick is something I may be picking up. I have nothing like that color.
As much as I like the futuristic theme of the collection, I’m not excited about any of these products. I can’t remember the last time a NARS seasonal collection left me cold, but all the shades here look pretty dupeable. And I think it’s weird that NARS is premiering a new (or “new”?) lipstick formula immediately after releasing the Audacious lipsticks…
Dear NARS Fairy,
I’ve been a very good rogue this year, and since I know you’ll be busy around the Holidays, I thought I’d help you out by placing my order in advance (for what I’m sure will be my delicious, makeuppy reward): I’ll take Soleil d’Orient, Canberra, Gabon and Burning Love.
Thanking you in advance,
Regards,
Sylirael
Love this!
Love the blush! Love!
Love the and the nail polishes! I’m scooping these up when I can
They all look so pretty.
I love the Femme Fleur lipstick. Such a pretty shade.
I love the shade of the blush! So, so stunning.
OMG! That Almeria blush looks amazing! I usually just scroll past the photos but heyyyy, I need that shade is so must-have! I also love the NARS Corsica Lipgloss!!
Oh, man, I want ALL of the nail polishes. Thanks for the preview!
I NEED that Corsica gloss, such perfect colour and opacity1
Oh no! So gorgeous! I love it all! My name is on at least : Deadly catch,Femme Fleur and all the glosses..love Nars glosses. I was captivated by the blush in pan and the nude color lipstick. Not sure now on those. I love the shadows. But,I am bad about reaching for singles. Can’t wait to see the reviews! Big decisions to be made:) Thanks Christine!
The blush is beautiful – Almeria. And so is the lip gloss in Burning Love. 🙂
I love the sea-inspired names but will probably pass on everything.
how quickly does the nars holiday collection usually sell out? i am worried i will miss out on the blush palette. 🙁 as long as it isn’t like the mac releases, i should be okay, i think, right?
It’s pretty rare that anything sells out super fast… you never know, but it’s not the norm.
thank you! you’re the best 🙂
Ok, in my wish list are now Gabon, Sherwood, Canberra, Almeria, Corsica and Soleil d’Orient.
Surprisingly I think that the best products in this collection are the nail polishes and glosses – I would have expected it to be the blush, but I find Almeria kind of boring, and it looks powdery. Corsica, Algonquin, Sherwood, and even Soleil d’Orient on the other hand look fantastic.
Corsica is so pretty & different…I really want it but I probably shouldn’t since I don’t wear lip glosses often…
I’m actually kinda disappointed with the collection nothing really jumps out at me that is a must have. I’m mean the colors don’t seem to be anything like that we haven’t seen. But I do really love nars so I’m sure I’m going to have to look into a few things. I do like the blush color n of course I love Nars shadows thanks for the sneak peak..
Both the eyeshadows look fab.. but I am amazed how beautiful Corsica came on lips.. <3 <3
Damn you NARS! (sorry for that). I wan’t almost everything from this collection. 2 of the nailpolishes, 2 of the eyeshadows, all of the glosses, 2 or maybe all 3 of the lipsticks. I think I can keep living without the blus, but that can change.
Now I can hope these all get bad reviews ;), or that som of it is permanent in a different packaging.
Ooooooh, Burning Love!
The bronze gloss and eyeshadows are gorgeous!
I have the Almeria blush and love it. I am loving corsica and want to buy that one too. I’ve also seen a blush called Ukraine as part of this collection that looks lovely online…wondering if you have seen it around or have swatches?
Thanks
Swathi
