NARS x Sarah Moon Gifting Collection for Holiday 2016

François Nars and fashion photographer Sarah Moon dare you to look closer as their limited-edition collection exposes every facet of the feminine.
Deeply inspired by iconic cinema, François Nars and Sarah Moon collectively worked from the nostalgic futurism of Metropolis to set the mood for the season’s story. Every element of the collection blurs the lines between real and surreal, serving as a direct expression of their collaborative vision. Deceptively nuanced. Boldly mysterious. Every look demands a second look.

October 5th at NARS Online, October 15th at NARS Boutiques, November 1st at other retailers

TOO FUNNY. They picked aaaall my favorite NARS lip colors (even the chronically unappreciated Golshan and Leslie?!).

Like, there’s no point purchasing any of the lip sets because I don’t need duplicates. Whoever picked them is apparently secretly me. 0_o

Yeah. Most lip sets have far too many midranges for my liking. Other than Anita, which is a speck outside my zone and Sarah, which is prob me in the 70s, they are great. The cooler tones didn’t fare so well for C ratings, and I have the other 4. So???? Leslie, hell, ya. There already. Never met a NARS brown toned red I didn’t obsess over. Always liked Golshan, but have tried not to get it, bec it is so similar to stash loves, maybe too much overlap. But if golshan plus blush is likeable, no, too many dupes there. But, they def read my mind/likes, too. These will be tough to pass up. And waffle over.

Being that there are 3 shades I know I will like in there makes me really want it. I was going to just get unspeakable and see how it was but now I’m thinking I might get this instead. I loved Bound and Toy too. The other colors don’t look too out of my wheelhouse. I can’t wait to see the other colors swatched.

I wonder if the shades in the Give In Take Dual-Intensity eye and cheek palette are all new or if they are a mix of new and old.I also really like the Glass Metropolis Mini Audacious Lipstick Coffret most of the ones I own are nudes,pinks,and corals.Anita is the only one from the set I have.I have been wanting some of the darker Audacious shades and the smaller size is perfect.I would like to know if it’s a good value it doesn’t say the size of the mini lipsticks in the post.

Earlier I mentioned trying to set a two dupe rule. Not sure that applies to exact same product….like 4 in the audacious set. And the ones I don’t have were lower rated by C. Just don’t go there, fool! Lot of $ for same old (grand, and not very old…). Maybe the glides, but I had better recheck here. As long as it’s a color fit, usually love NARS, esp lips (ALl formulas) and blush, mild preference for old over DI. Looking forward to these in person. Local Ss don’t even have out the fall NARS lip extensions yet. Remember that this stuff will be out @ NARS.com before their f&f, if they continue their former policies. & their exclusives are well worth checking out.

Looked at the lip glide roundup. 3 are shown: bound, unspeakable, toy. The others are new, or should we say newer? and not swatched yet. Am I getting too excited, or what? Francois, you’ll be the death of me yet.

I want those 2 Cheek & Lip Palettes! Will you be reviewing them Christine?
I wonder if the blush shades are mostly limited or from the permanent range.

One more thing: so glad that Laguna and Orgasm are NOT trying to “fit” their way into another collection!

Son of . . . dang it, Christine! You’ve made everything look and sound too good to pass up. I’m about 90% positive I need every single one of those palettes, even though I just did a massive purge. I had just paid off my credit card, too :-P!
