NARS Summer 2014

This is, in my view, what NARS does best – searing, tropical hues that sing sand, heat and bursts of juicy colour. NARS Summer 2013 is exactly that – the collection launches in May, so not too far away, and it’s certainly got me in the mood for summer. I’m going to split the collection into a couple of posts so we can have a really good look at everything. Starting with the NARS Lip Glosses, the shades above are (from bottom to top) Mandarin, Turkish Delight and Orgasm. I don’t know my NARS glosses inside out but I know Orgasm isn’t new in gloss format. However, all the NARS glosses have undergone a revamp with a new formula for longer wear (a post on it’s way on the new textures).

There are five glosses for the NARS Summer 2014 look – missing from my line up are Priscilla (shocking pink) and Salamanca (described as Flamingo pink!).

Wonder is a hot, hot orange shade but it’s sheer, too so you can temper it down if you want to with a very light coat. Turkish Delight is the palest pink – more a whisper of colour on the lip than anything, and Orgasm is a peachy-pink blend bursting with shimmer. Above all, they’re super-glossy.

Another searing colour for nails – Libertango; I love the name! I wonder if NARS were thinking tango the dance or tango the drink – either way, I like it. I haven’t had a chance to get it on my nails yet.

Next up is the NARS Illuminator in Hot Sand – a peachy/tan based illuminator that is everything shimmery. It’s a very warm tone so fast forward to summer when the sun has hit your skin and that’s when this is going to shine.
