‘Never Say Never’ Velvet Matte Lip Pencil*
So as promised in my last post, let me introduce you to the NARS Summer Collection for 2012. In my opinion, it’s a great collection with some amazing products!
‘Ramatuelle’ Limited Edition eyeshadow trio £33: This is my favourite piece from the collection. A gorgeous eyeshadow trio with three really unique colours. Two shimmery colours; one a silvery blue, the other a gorgeous peach. Alongside these is a matte apricot shade, a shade very different to anything I’ve seen. The shimmers are perfect for all over the lid and the apricot is great to contour the crease and outer corner.
‘Marie-Glante’ Eyeshadow Duo £24: This is a ‘WOW’ product. The two colours are really vibrant with an amazing sparkle to them. They can be used as shadows or wet for an intense eye liner.
Calabria Soft Touch Shadow Pencil £17: This another great, versatile product. The chunky pencil can be used all over the eyelid on it’s own, as a liner or as a base under a powder eyeshadow. It’s a gorgeous plum colour that’s really easy to work with.
Liberté blush £29: This is a really interesting product and one that scared me when I first saw it. In the pan it looks like quite a bright orange but when used with a brush it gives a lovely subtle warmth to the face. It can be used as a bronzer and as a blusher and suits lots of different skin tones.
Moscow Pure Matte Lipstick £26: For those who like to be a bit braver when it comes to lips, this is a very striking dark strawberry red matte lipstick. As it’s matte it can be a bit drying so I’d recommend having exfoliated and moisturised lips before applying it.
Vendanges Lipstick £25: This lipstick looks scary and brown in the bullet but it’s in fact a really sheer grape colour that’s really easy to wear and is flattering.
Buenos Aires Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil £25: This is a really lovely lip product that’s perfect for the summer. The nude shade applies smoothly and feels really nice on. It’s one of those everyday, throw it on lipsticks.
Never Say Never Velvet Matte Lip Pencil £25: I absolutely LOVE this lip pencil. The colour is a raspberry pink and looks very glamourous. It is matte but doesn’t feel drying on the lips at all. It’s also very easy to apply and feels like colouring in!
Trouville Nail Polish £18: A lovely light pink polish that looks really fresh and clean on. Two coats are needed and it lasts well on the nails.
The collection will be available from May on counters and online.
I’ve also done a video on the collection and the products I have tried.
