Not gonna lie, the new Nars Matte Bronzer in Punta Cana was a definite impulse purchase for me. I bought it feeling fairly confident that the shade would not show up on my skin as a bronzer. But hey, pandemics call for impulse purchases, it turns out! More on that later… but let’s talk about this bronzer! Once I received…

Way back when, when I picked up the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer, I kept seeing references and comparisons to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and my interest in it peaked even more. I had been meaning to pick it up for the longest, and finally one day I did. I went with the shade Hazelnut so that I may…

This volume of Super Swatch Sunday feature products that were recently released and ones I found myself incredibly curious about. The most interesting for me this time around is the Marc Jacobs Shameless Foundation. It fully covered my tattoo! Super into the Laura Mercier concealers, too – those things were like butter! Have a look and a few thoughts! Pat…

Nars has done something interesting in the highlighter world and decided to cater to those that aren’t looking for a galaxy of bling on their face. The Nars Easy Glowing Cheek Palettes are offered in two choices: Coucher de Soleil, which I have previously reviewed, and Reve Sale, the highlight of this post. Reve Sale is demoed on a light-toned…

I was told nearly my entire childhood not to judge a book by its cover. It’s a little harder not to do with makeup. However, the Nars Easy Glowing Cheek Palette went through two stages of consideration before I decided to get it and it still left me longing for more. I went for the darker of the palettes, Coucher De Soleil…

I am fond of Nars. Very fond. They aren’t perfect, but their Powermatte Pigments ($26.00) come pretty freakin’ close. I picked up London Calling and Under My Thumb.

I’ve been working with the Nars Soft Matte Concealer ($30.00) for a while now and I have some pretty positive thoughts on it! The name of the concealer is super accurate because it is very soft, and very matte, which I can appreciate as someone with pretty prominent eye bags. Check out this post on the swatches for dark skin, where…

I’m taking it wayback for a minute to show off some Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer swatches. I only swatched the darker colors that I thought might match my skin tone. The texture of the concealer is indeed soft and appeared to spread easily. When I swatched these, I didn’t purchase them, but I plan to, to see how it…

The NARS Loaded Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00) is a very warm palette and it’s very brown — almost boring you can say, but that’s the reason I bought it. Nars describes it as neutral, and ok, I accept that, but it’s also quite warm. I wanted something fresh and new for more natural looks for my 9-5. A couple of things…

I recently took a gander in Sephora and saw the highly talked about Nars Banc de Sable highlighter palette ($49.00). Apparently, Banc de Sable is translated as “sand bank” which is really surprising because I thought it was going to be something more provocative. Nonetheless, here are the swatches!

The lust I had for the Nars Unfiltered I Palette ($59.00) was so real. When it became available over the Sephora VIB sale, I was like, yessssssssss must have it. But then it sold out and my life abruptly ended. Well, maybe not that serious but I was pretty bummed out about it. And then, behold! It came back around…

Summer breeze | Makes me feel fine | Blowing through the jasmine in my mind… Gotta love the Isley Brothers! It’s summer. Like officially summer. Naturally, that means less is more. Sometimes, that’s not always the case with me when it comes to makeup, but I have been wearing the Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien for some time and…

When the Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint ($44.00) came out, I was hard-pressed to have it. I did want to swatch it first because there was only one true color that looked like it might be right for me and that was Polynesia. It sank into my skin like it belonged there and dried down beautifully matte. I had to…

Who out there remembers these babies? In the midst of attempting to purge my makeup collection, I came across this baby. I am quite ashamed to say I purchased this years ago and have never used it! Smh! All I remembered about it was that it had bad reviews, and I believe it was one of those Nars Duo shadows…

I am on the fence about this nail polish. I love the way it looks but it is practically the same color as me!! It looks like hot chocolate. I like the color in just not sure how it looks on me. Skin on top of skin?? Lol what do you guys think?
