Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already.

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

I really have no idea what to recommend – I so infrequently use clear gloss that I’m stumped as to what my favorite would be! I know MAC makes one but it’s super tacky. Maybe Chanel’s newest? Great texture though there’s a lil’ shimmer.

OMG, I’m a really big fan of NARS, but I’m very disappointed at the lilac lip pencil. What’s wrong with the lip pencil? 🙁

I thought the duo might be a possibility (albeit a slight one, as I wouldn’t touch the yellow), but the purple shade just looks awful. Euphrate may end up coming home with me, though…

I have similar coloring to yours, as well as the same eye color. Do you feel like Barrow Street suits you? Because it’s really pretty and quite unique looking. I’d love to pick it up.

Damn Christine, the amount of work you go through is impressive!

The Barrow eyeliner looks really nice! Hope it performs well. The gloss could interest me too.

Oh wow, that Multiple looks amazing! I’m not generally a fan as I find it tricky applying cream products over foundation, but that colour is stunning and apparently free of chunky glitter!

I’m in love <3 It will be mine! Thanks for the great swatches as always 😀 xx

I am really disappointed with the lip pencil. This year I noticed a lot of companies releasing lilac/lavender lip products but lavender just doesn’t suit me. I have hope for the fall season to bring some beauties my way.

I think the velvet matte lip pencil is a sheer violet opalescence, like MAC violet lipmix. Just weird enough that I might need it.

Holy cow I may actually get something from a new NARS collection- I love Barrow Street and Puerto Vallarta- the gloss is gorgeous as well I just never wear gloss. That duo though- François Sweetie Darling- if you’re doing bold gorgeous colors they require smooth, strong, even pigment. I find sheer “shocking” colors an affront to my nature.

I just had a thought – all swatches are done on skin, except for nail polish. I’m not saying you should swatch polish on your arm (LOL!!) but for some reason it struck me as odd!

Barrow Street is GORGEOUS! Would love to see a pos on how to wear it as I’m not great at actualy using colored eyeliner even though I love it!
Looking forward to the Paris Follies review. Can you compare it to MAC Star Quality cremesheen from the Reel Sexy collection?
Tolede is a lovely color as well!
Thank you!
