Round-up: NARS x Christopher Kane Overview & Thoughts
NARS x Christopher Kane Collection launches online on April 15th and consists of ten, limited edition products. I wish I could say I had a favorite, but I was unimpressed by the collection and its products. If you pressed me to pick “favorites,” then I would tell you the eyeshadows, as at least they’re workable over a tacky base and extra effort and are more unique compared to the other shades in the launch. For me, this collection was stunning grouped together in their pans and tubes, but in practice, they were under-performing.
I do love Nars but their LE collections usually don’t tempt me!
I find NARS so hit or miss 🙁
I’m a bit sad that there aren’t any real A-rated top products in this collection, but like I said, Nebulous did manage to seduce me 🙂
I am sad about it, too!
I probably would have bought half the collection if they had performed. I’ll probably still pick up the eyeshadow because I’m a lemming for colorful shadows, but the lipglosses are a big let down.
Hope you love the eyeshadow! 🙂
It’s a shame this collection was such a let down, I love Nars but their LE’s never seem to get my attention!
They seem all over the place sometimes!
This collection is so disappointing. It had so much potential.
Agreed!
This is probably the first Nars summer collection that I am getting nothing from!
Whoa! That’s so crazy (and sad).
I know! That was my feeling. You know I meant the first Nars collection that I can remember, not in the history of Nars ever-right? I hope he gets the quality back on track soon.
lol, yes! I figured it was based on your recall and on however long you’ve been buying NARS! I’m getting to the point where I don’t even like to remember how long ago I started buying makeup, haha. It just makes me feel old!
haha! You’re silly. Your so young! Time flies though..just enjoy it! Wait until the things that were popular when you ere in Jr and Sr. high school come back! Then you know you are considered a “classic” (aka old) lol.
🙂
Breaks my heart when NARS fails to deliver. It’s so hard to find a high end cruelty free company as is, let alone one that consistently puts out quality products! Thanks for giving these a try for us, Christine. <3
No problem, Gabrielle! 🙂
This is such a shame. Nars could have had all my money with this collection.
If only those eyeshadows had a better base!
ah quantum you looked so beautiful and were such a disaster! This whole collection was such a disappointment!
It was 🙁
I was really disappointed with this one!
That makes two of us!
So glad to have foundnd your review of this collection. This arrives at MeccaCosmetica tomorrow and you have just saved me a ton of money! Thank you
No problem, Sandy!
I’m surprised that you didn’t like the lip glosses. I’m totally crazy for Nebulous at the moment and will probably stock up on it for the future. I love the color with my auburn hair–it’s just the right amount of pop. The texture isn’t too sticky and it stains my lips a lovely color that remains even when the gloss wears off. I also like Nucleus for layering over lipstick, though it’s not as unique a color.
Sorry, I had issues with these based on my experiences — all explicitly detailed in each review, so you can read through those if you are curious as to why they scored lower! I am glad you like your glosses!
