NARS Andy Warhol Collection Fall 2012

NARS Andy Warhol Collection Fall 2012

WWD reports today that there will be a NARS Andy Warhol Collection coming at us for Fall 2012.

This collection will be created by François Nars under a license with The Andy Warhol Foundation.

According to WWD, “it is intended to evoke the cool, image-rich, character-laden world of Warhol”.

The collection will launch in October.

Official word comes from NARS today confirming that the collection will indeed be created but no word on colors so I’ll update you as news becomes available.

Andy Warhol never particularly struck a chord in me so I’m unsure how I feel about this collection. I’ll have to see it before I make my final decision.

Updated Collection Info:
NARS Andy Warhol Holiday 2012 Collection
NARS Andy Warhol Pop Collection
NARS Andy Warhol Silver Factory Collection

What do you think?

Perhaps bold, striking shades of color yes?

NARS Gaiety Blush NARS Douce France Trio Eyeshadow Review & Swatches

NARS Gaiety Blush NARS Douce France Trio Eyeshadow 1

I’m feeling more like Valentine’s Day than Spring with some of the new NARS Spring 2012 Collections on my face today. What did you love from NARS Spring? Any keepers?

I personally get excited when they launch new blush shades but sadly Gaiety, the shade introduced for Spring, is matte. Matte, not where it’s at for me.

Damn.

But let’s take a look and see what sort of NARS deliciousness is brightening up my otherwise rainy day.

In Memoriam: Marcel Nars Passes Away

in Nars

marcel nars

Marcel, was brand creator, Francois Nars’ french bulldog. He was 15 years old when he passed away a few days ago. You might recognize his sweet little face from promo ads he was featured in for the brand, dare I say, he sometimes wore the NARS look better than the models themselves.

Aw RIP dear Marcel. Your photos brought such joy to my NARS makeup life.

Hope you’re living the life under the Rainbow Bridge.

Being a pet owner and all around animal lover I’m hopeful Francois and the NARS family are doing ok after their loss, it’s never easy losing a dearly loved pet. My heart and love goes out to them.

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30/PA+++

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer

Hello glow!

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with an SPF 30 and an oil free formula with a soft focused glow. Supposedly it even helps reduce the appearance of hyper pigmentation and dark spots too in as little as four weeks (eep jumped the shark on that I think but hey, could work!).

It’s available in nine shades for $42 and will be exclusive to Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com this Spring (I imagine you’ll see a larger launch in the Summer).

P.S. Gossip Girl is a snooze-fest lately and I hear whispers of cancellation but props for including one of my fav songs in a recent eppy!

What? Had to include Kermit…it just makes the song!

NARS Makeup Removing Water Review

NARS Makeup Removing Water 1

Come on out lazy girls! You know you’re out there. Sleeping in your makeup, too lazy when you get home to remove it, for shame! Your mum’s should know what you’ve been up too. Insert waggling finger here.

Goodie for you that cleansing waters are on trend at the moment and everyone and their mother too is introducing one. MAC has one, Sephora, and on the higher end of the playing field, the new NARS Makeup Removing Water. That sounds so pro right? It’s not NARS Cleansing Water its NARS Makeup Removing Water. Posh!

This soap-free, oil-free, and alcohol-free water promises removes face makeup and tones the skin. Thank you NARS for not promising to remove our waterproof mascara. Bless your heart. Nothing is more annoying than a brand of cleansing water that promises to be your end all to removing makeup.

Lady Gaga Gaga Workshop Beauty Collection

Gaga Workshop Barneys New York

I admit it, I’ve disembarked from the crazy train and I’m no longer Gaga’s fan girl.

Sorry.

Please don’t hate me.

She’s just become a little too much for me.

But I do so want to shop the good shop at her Barney’s Gaga Workshop particularly when goodies like Lipstick Queen Monster Red is calling my name!

Check out a few of the beauty offerings from Lady Gaga’s Gaga Workshop!

NARS Spring Collection 2012

NARS Spring Collection 2012 9

Good Morning friends!

I hope you’re all having a short week and are ready to spend time with your friends and family for the Holiday and of course, head into a turkey induced coma.

I’ll let you in on a little secret, don’t tell anyone, I’m not a fan of turkey. That shiz is dry as hell. I love me some chicken and honestly, grilled chicken makes up most of my diet, I can’t get enough of it…but turkey? No thanks!

Lucky enough my dear old mum makes other delicious goodies to appease me and keeps the bird for the rest of family. This is also the time of the year where it’s completely ok to watch A Christmas Story Marathons on Turkey Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and in all the days in between because let’s face it, that never gets old. I do a mean impression of Randy for my sister’s ears only, “I can’t get up! I can’t get up!”

Spring is far away but it’s never too early to discuss the joys of the NARS Spring 2012 Collection.

What to Purchase During Sephora Friends and Family 2011: The Palette Edition

Sephora Palettes

With Sephora Friends and Family 2011 in full force here are some helpful hints on which palettes are worth the haul.

Love them or hate them you can’t deny that palettes are where you get the most bang for your buck. You can spend $25 on a single blush or you can indulge in a palette that will range from $39-$55 that includes several blushes, several eyeshadows, and possibly more.

Of course, palettes suffer downfalls sometimes and quality isn’t always up to par with the standard line of cosmetics offered by your favorite brands plus let’s not forget contending with creams and powders in one cramped place. But if you can get passed the drama of palettes you’re in for a treat because darling they do so offer the very best bang for your buck.

Here are some suggestions and recommendations for the best palettes to snatch up during Sephora Friends and Family 2011 since 20% off sweetens the deal even further doesn’t it?

NARS Danmari All About Cheeks Palette

NARS Danmari All About Cheeks Palette 02

Let’s face it, our blush lives (or at least some of them) aren’t complete without NARS Orgasm or Super Orgasm in it. Wait, scratch that, any NARS Blush will do…!

If anyone does blusher right that’d be NARS in my humblest of humble opinions.

But they are kinda costly at near $30 each. How about if I told you that you can have all your favs in a single palette for a nice price tag?
