Hot Tryst looks utterly gorgeous in every possible way. Day-um!

i saw the headline and then scrolled down to the picture and exclaimed ‘WHAT’ out loud. i am a NARS die hard and they rarely (aside from their name) do an embossed item. excited! Sad to see repromotes OF COURSE in the other two palettes. really lazy from a brand with the finances to do better
Untamed is amazing, but I’m pretty sure I have an indie blush just like it. As for the rest (and the other two palettes) … don’t need it. Yay!

Luster in that palette looks a lot tamer than the original

Thanks for taking pictures of the ingredient info. This collection was totally calling my name, both in packaging, and for cheeks being the smallest part of my makeup stash. Thankfully they’re formulated with ingredients that don’t work with my skin and I can save a little cash this holiday season.
I don’t – I would guess $59 based on their past cheek palettes of this size. I only have shade info/descriptions on the single products (lipsticks/Powermattes) – don’t have prices on anything, even those (but assume they should be close or the same as current pricing on those respective formulas).
Thank you! I would expect something in that range too, I’m just hoping they’re not increasing their prices for the holidays so it fits into my budget, lol!
Hot Tryst has got my name written all over it! I only spot one shade that may not be a great one on me, and even it can be tweaked by adding another one of these shades to it.

Hot Tryst. So conflicted. A tad pink for me, but I do like the swatches, Love Friction, etc. Clearly waiting for dupes, but this is a tad outside my zone, so there won’t be many…… But the number of Nars blush palettes I have NOT scored in the past decade is far fewer than the ones I have. Nars blush hag, and a weak one, at that.

Oh my gosh I gasped out loud when I saw the picture of the Hot Tryst cheek palette. I must have it! It is GORGEOUS!!!!!
Hot Tryst is so pretty! I have eutral undertones, so I appreciate that there are warm and cool-ish oprions here. I’d be more interested in it if at least the two middle shades were matte, though.
I’m still waiting for my PERFECT cheek palette: one each of blush, bronzer, and highlighter ×2 for warm and cool options. So take this one and make the middle row bronzers and the right row matte ir satin blushes.

Hot Tryst looks beautiful!

Do you know if these will be available at Ulta and/or Sephora?
As I mentioned in the beginning of the post: “I’m still waiting on official details with respect to availability and launch dates, and I’ll update this post when I get them.” Sorry!
I have at least three GREAT blush palettes fro Nars, and truly I don’t need anymore, and definitely not ones with highlighter or shimmer in them. Their Unfiltered series was excellent! Since I’m not a cheek person (meaning I don’t go gaga over blushes), I just don’t see the need for these. However, if you don’t have any Nars blushes then DEFINITELY try them. I also like Chanel, Surratt and Kevyn Aucoin blushes. I don’t have many, but I think you have to invest in finding someone that makes great colors and smooth application. Christine has loads of blush reviews and I’d recommend checking them out if your new to blushes.
Hot Tryst, oh my!!! That thing is beyond gorgeous. I must have it.

Oh! So beautiful! I would think I could wear all shades maybe soften the darkest one with a gentle swipe of the lighter one.
Hot Tryst is gorgeous! I want them all though and also the Hourglass also. Ouchy!
I haven’t bought anything pricey in a good while but these I want!

The Hot Tryst palette caught my eye when I saw the first sneak peeks! Do you happen to have any price info at this time?

Hi Carolann,
As I mentioned in the beginning of the post: “I’m still waiting on official details with respect to availability and launch dates, and I’ll update this post when I get them.” Sorry!
Love the highlighting palette the best. The Hot Tryst palette contains too many shades I wouldn’t use, but the finish is lovely.
Hot Tryst Yowza! So un-Nars like.
Really liking Hot Tryst shade range and swatches.
I have at least three GREAT blush palettes fro Nars, and truly I don’t need anymore, and definitely not ones with highlighter or shimmer in them. Their Unfiltered series was excellent!
