NARS x Sarah Moon Mind Game
If you’ve been eyeing the new Velvet Lip Glides, you’re in luck! Mind Game ($45.00 for 0.72 oz.), which includes six miniature sized Velvet Lip Glides with three new shades and three existing shades. This set is exclusive to Sephora, so it will not be available until November 1st, per NARS. Here’s a look at them!
That’s a lot of lip products I don’t own…… but so many reds. 😉
I’ll probably be getting the lip glides set. It seems amazing!
Having spent hours on your Audacious posts, have already made judicious choices on these and can forego. Bette and Charlotte look a tad better than the originals, but the whole bunch looks a bit….creamier, more slippy? I am NOT suggesting that you review these; you have enough to do. But the glides are on my avenue, and new, so none yet. All except the pink are deep, boldish, and just a bit different than his usual (read beloved to me) reds. And not a heavy investment. Great!
There’s a period of time in my swatches that look lighter/brighter to me (based on my current monitor/equipment, room, lighting, etc. which, of course, one always feels is THE BEST POSSIBLE at that moment), which included the Audacious lipsticks, so I do feel that these photos, today, are more accurate overall. (My guess is they are photos from when I tried to color calibrate my monitor based on ambient lighting, which is great for printing accurate color but is completely off on standard devices – I changed my color calibration technique to “try to get everything to look ‘within range’ across devices”). I also believe that my new camera is better at processing reds without over-amplifying them (it seems to read skin color a bit better).
Your reviews are so seamless, that I often forget the technical challenges. Every day, you amaze me more.
Oh yeah, I’m totally getting the lipglides set. Is it just me or do the mini lipsticks seems creamier looking than the standard? Maybe it’s been so long since I’ve seen them swatched I forgot.
That’s what I thought. Of course, C posted an answer….
Yeah I just read her replies to you!
Charlotte is a nice color, and that set is beautiful!
Sandra looks nice 🙂
Love Sandra, and IIRC, it was a NARS.com exclusive, not at Sephora. Sandra leans more brown on me than most NARS brown reds. This set is fab, unless you already scored many of them
I love the idea of a NARS Audacious set (and minis! I can get through minis!). But I think the range is a bit too close in colour for me to go for it. Would have loved a few of the classic Audacious nudes thrown in there. Still a beautiful set!
I adore the Audacious line, and was positive I’d buy this set.
Then I saw the colors.
Way too many reds, and red is my least worn lip color.
The lip glide set looks good; the lipstick set seems like it’s priced way too high for mini-sized lipsticks.
I think Anita is my favorite here.
I love Mini’s sooo much but this has too many reds for me. Had they gone darker ya know like from light to a nice rich dark berry or a burnt red…these all look so similar.
Beautiful sets, but skip for me. Bette is gorgeous, but I have way too many red lipsticks already, and the 2 other colors will look terrible on me. And I have way too many glosses, but have Bound on my wishlist. Love these miniature sizes –if I had to start my collection again, I would buy more mini sets for the variety, instead of full sizes, as it takes forever to finish a full size.
I will definitely be getting the Lip Glides. I bought one of the full sized ones when they came out and fortunately, it’s not in this set. I really like them. I love the lipsticks as well, but there’s not enough variety for me.
Oh my word, I love that Lip Glide set! Each and EVERY one of these would be very wearable, and much worn by me should I decide to buy it!
As for the Audacious lipstick set; having very recently gone on a red lipstick binge of sorts, I definitely am not interested in this. I have a veritable storehouse of reds at this point that I now need to use up!
More than half are reds. I want to try both formulas but the shade selection is very poor.
I really like both sets. I doubt I’ll buy any of them, I do need to use the lip products I have and not add to the stash. At least I can try. 🙂
Beautiful lipstick shades – NARS really do a great lipstick. Love the red shades.
Francois must have thought I needed backups, bec I’ve got 6 of the audacious shades. The cooler darks look better to me now. So maybe will reswatch Bette and charlotte. Anita is a bit too pink FMT. Always glad not to spend more than a Ben. Will do the glides, if the formula is right for aging lips
I don’t usually love mini lipsticks ( I tend to break them), but I love each of these colors! A warm red, or a brownish red, is my go-to. And those lighter shades are pretty too.
The lip glide set has the two of the main collection shades I want, (bound, unspeakable) and the rest seem sort of plummy so I’m down with all of them for once, (that never happens!) but I’m surprised that so many of them look *very* similar to one another! maybe in person they have small differences that I’m not seeing on my device?
Pretty colors that appear moist however my mouth feels like a desert when I read, hear NARS after all this time. I will have to try some samples before investing.
Any time I see the names “Sandra” and “Rita” in close proximity, my brain starts playing Mambo No. 5. Curse you, Lou Bega.
Anyhoo…the lip glide set looks like it could be a nice way to try out some of the shades; it’s a nice mix of softer colors and vampy colors.
