for some reason this is so not what i expected for NARS Spring 2011. i am curious about the finish of the e/s duos as well as the opacity of the lip gloss nana. tzigane has some potential although i’d like to see how pigmented it is.

i am a bit surprised that they are re-promoting the angelika and the super orgasm lip gloss. perhaps the intention is to make those colors available outside of sephora as i think they were released exclusively through sephora and the NARS site. (at least i can’t recall any other retailers having them). i hope this is not a move into having NARS become more like MAC. i like NARS’s thoughtful, seasonal releases.

i’ve got to say from this picture i am not liking the e/s trio. it looks very “blah” in my opinion. can’t wait for swatches and product photos. i got okinawa even though it is so expensive and i like the colors but this one is meh.

You’re right on the money… Super Orgasm and Angelika are only being featured because they are being released to all counters and not just Sephora.

I’m not sold on the collection as I was about their fall and holiday collection. The colours are kinda blah to me….
I kinda was hoping for a bright fuchsia blush to appear because NARS has never released one yet! Not to mention they’ve been releasing some boring shades so far. Maybe summer….

I’m interested in Nouveau Monde eyeshadow duo, Calanque eyeshadow trio, and Nana lipgloss. But I’ll wait for swatches. 🙂

Apparently, the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizers (which I’m *really* looking forward to) will be available later..

Seems like NARS is releasing their tinted moisturizer after the spring collection. I’m really excited for it since I love Sheer Glow.I just hope it has SPF. Would be so comfy for summer.

I can’t say I’m as excited about this as the previous two collections. Nouveau monde shows some promise and Tzigane is probably very wearable. Calanque is nice, but you can just pick up Madrague to do similar looks. The holiday and fall collections from 2010 had such great, great offerings though, this seems pretty disappointing by comparison.

Hmm, I just watched a terrible movie named Nana last night! I wonder if it’s the one that Nars named the gloss after… Either way I should probably get it, right? 😉 Tzigane is gorgeous, too, I saw it in a few of the “celebrity fan” shots on NARS’ facebook page. Mmm! So Excited!

Several products from this collection have french names, and I think Nana is part of them.

“Nana” basically translates into “chick”, or “girl”.
Une calanque is a term originating from the south of france used to define a deep bay surrounded by steep rock formations.
“Le Bateau Ivre” (The Drunken Boat) is Arthur Rimbaud’s most famous poem.
“Nouveau Monde” means New World.

Love NARS products in general but this collection has too many pastels and neutrals for my liking. I definitely prefer NARS fall and holiday collections in general (from NARS or any other brand) as the colors are usually more vibrant, darker, and there’s lots of purples and reds!
The only thing I’m interested in, so far, is the NANA lipgloss.
Yeah, more hot pinks, fuschias, corals would have been very spring and very fun and girly!

I dunno how I feel about this collection-will have to see actual product photos to decide. NARS is easily my most beloved brand, and none of these things completely blow me out of the water…I wish they’d do a unique LE blush or Multiple! Maybe in a violet shade?

As it is, I think I’ll def. get the Nana lipgloss, gold and silver eye duo, and maybe the Hollywoodland shadow pencil.

i am just a lil bit sad that they have no blush in their spring collection :/ I loved the colours of the winter and of the holiday collection, but the spring, hm, dunno, i am a lil bit dissapointed, buuut that doesn’t really matter because i can’t afford the whole collection anyway 😀
I would love to get the Calanque trio, but it super expensive :/ the colours look nice, nothing special, but i love it that way! 😀

They are selling this collection today but they are not selling Calanque yet 🙁 So bummed bc this and Tzigane was the only things I wanted from this collection!!!

I am actually really excited for this collection! I’m not too keen on the soft touch pencils but I can’t wait to get my hands on the eye shadow duos and madere! Especially Nouveau Monde…
