Well, I think I can do without the $ 325 survival kit with (surprise!) more Orgasm, Laguna, and Cruella. But the $59 kits seem like a nice way to try different products from NARs, assuming the quality is there.

Like the cheek palette, but like original formula version more than dual intensity. Tad too sparkly for us older folk. The original formula one, released earlier, has boring old Laguna. Do have a tiny of that from the S bronze favorites. Trying to try it out, but more of a Nyx original taupe person, along with some of the MUFE grayer shades. Nars, like MUFE, does too many repeats. Even having bought only audacious plus despair, in the past ~10 years, I have a bunch of these shades. Probably a good release for those newish to Nars. And he has so many winners to choose from!

I get a lot of use out of the one dual intensity blush duo that I have (Frenzy), so this new dual intensity blush palette looks beautiful to me. Not sure I’ll pounce though, I think I like the other two summer DE blushes they came out with a little more! I bet the lightest and deepest shades would be suitable on the eyes as well however, which might help justify the splurge.

I suppose maybe just me? I tossed orgasm years and years ago and have bought any of the others frankly but I’m not inclined to start now, even if I enjoy Nars.

I wonder if the Nordstrom exclusives are for anniversary. Those survival kits are begging for a closer look! Except the $300++ one. Definitely don’t need another Orgasm/Laguna/Cruella….

NARS just hasn’t been doing it for me lately. The quality is decent but the shades they’re releasing just don’t work that well for me. I’d love to see them release a set that includes only cool shades. But it does look like a few decent possibilities for warm-toned girls.

I really want to try the nars dual intensity blushes, but I won’t be able to get the nars cheek palette sadly. There’s only 2 Sephoras in my country and they’re both in Copenhagen and have no webshop. why couldn’t it be from the 20th of july instead? I’ll be in Copenhagen on the 28th of july! maybe I’ll get to swatch some of them though

I’ve yet to be impressed with Nars. The blushes are amazing but for the price… Not that amazing. Their lipsticks fall flat for me, the lip pencils are dying. The mascara is spidery… You know when you WANT TO LOVE SOMETHING, that’s me with Nars. I’ve tried to love it and it kind of hurts that i don’t. Smh
