Aging Fabulous Favorites: NARS Lipgloss

Lianne Farbes — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:03:19 +0000

I don’t know about you, but now that I am older, I spend WAY less time actually wearing lipstick. It wasn’t a concious decision actually, it just kind of happened. Because of this, I have evolved into somewhat of a lipgloss connoisseur. I have and do try them all and there are only a few that make it into long standing rotation in my makeup bag.

NARS lipgloss has a creamy, gel like texture which is very comfortable and surprisingly long wearing. You get serious shine and color in sheer, creamy and semi-sheer formulas. In addition to the bevy of available formulas, you also get a highly pigmented product. So you get the look of lipstick (with a good dose of shine) without the heaviness or lipstick-y feel. With an eyepopping 30 different shades, I have so many favorites, its hard for me to decide sometimes.

The Rundown:

All Night Long (plum berry)
Bad Education (sheer crimson red)
Belize (pink mauve with gold flecks)
Bloodwork (red vinyl)
Chihuahua (guava)
Dolce Vita (dusty rose)
Female Trouble (lilac mauve)
Foul Play (bare pink)
Giza (nectar)
Gothika (spiced berry)
Greek Holiday (sparkling pink sand)
Metis (sheer mulberry)
Misbehave (sheer shimmering red)
Moon Fleet (clear with silver and gold flecks)
Orgasm (peachy pink shimmer)
Pillow Talk (azalea pink)
Positano (cinnamon rose)
Risky Business (shimmering berry red)
Rose Birman (sheer raspberry cream)
Rose Gitane (sheer deep wine)
Sandpiper (shimmering amber coral)
Scandal (pinkish brown)
Stella (muted raspberry)
Stolen Kisses (sparkling caramel pink)
Striptease (pearlized beige sheen)
Sunset Strip (tangerine with gold shimmer)
Supervixen (shimmering nude beige)
Sweet Dreams (pink gold with shimmer)
Sweet Revenge (sheer pink grapefruit)
Tempest (neutral pink beige with shimmer)
Triple X (clear shine)
Turkish Delight (pink sorbet)

NARS gloss is available at Sephora stores, specialty stores nationwide and narscosmetics.com.

NARS the Multiple

Lianne Farbes — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 06:49:33 +0000

In the summertime, I want something that is just grab and go. I find that I like to simplify my routine and one way is to have a multi-use product. For me, this is my #1 go to item…NARS the Multiple. I have it in several shades and if you have never used it before, once you do, you will understand why it has achieved such a cult status over the years. It’s velvety cream to powder formula is perfect for adding color and/or highlight to your skin. In addition, no powder to settle into any fine lines you may have. Just a little rubbed on with your fingers or go straight from the tube like me. My son said I looked like I had on war paint one day before I had it blended in…nice LOL.

This wonder stick is great for the apples of your cheeks, your eyelids, anywhere the sun naturally hits your face. In addition to the different shades (matte & shimmer) they also introduced three bronzers last year.

The Rundown:

Orgasm (peachy pink shimmer)
Cap Vert (matte baked warm clay)
Copacabana (glistening pearl)
Maldives (pink champagne with shimmer)
Malibu (pinkish brown)
Maui (dusty rose)
Mustique (iridescent peach)
Palm Beach (rich bronze)
Portofino (shimmering coral)
Riviera (sheer pink)
South Beach (shimmering apricot)
St. Barts (taupe shimmer)
Tuomota (bronzer – for light to medium complexions)
Malaysia (bronzer – for medium to dark complexions)
Rapa Nui (bronzer – for dark complexions)

NARS The Multiple retails for $37 at NARS counters, sephora.com and narscosmetics.com.

Not one, but two shades of the ‘beauty famous’ NARS Multiple featured in one sleek compact. The colors in each palette are gorgeous and when you pair them together you can create countless combination’s of beautiful flushes and gentle shimmering effects for the eyes, cheeks, and lips.

The formula in the Multiples makes it easy to blend, and gives a natural finish for a mistake-proof application. As always each NARS compact has a mirror so you can keep your radiant glow all day long. There are five palettes to choose from and they are all amazing. The best part of this beauty deal is you get two colors for $45.

HOLLYWOODS HOTTEST MOMS

Beth Bender — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:24:17 +0000

Naomi Watts is expecting her second baby with longtime love Liev Schreiber. Seen here in New York at the premiere of Australia, Baz Lurhman’s newest epic feature, and out to support her best pal and also new mommie, Nicole Kidman.

Her face looks flawless on and off the screen and her pregnancy has made her skin even more radiant than ever. To get a gorgeous glow like Naomi’s start with a face cream or tinted-mositurizer with SPF. Coming from Australia Naomi knows the importance of preventing your skin from sun damage and that’s the first thing she puts on her face before applying anything else.

Cover up blemishes with a light concealer and be sure to choose a color that matches your skin tone. Use a brush to apply and blend by tapping around the blemish using your ring or index finger until the color has disappeared into your skin. Bobbi Brown has great concealers that give you great coverage and the colors work well on any skin tone.

To get beautiful color on your cheeks try a cream stick and use your fingers to blend on the apple of your cheeks. NARS has a great selection of colors, my favorite, now available in a Multiple Stick is Orgasm. This color looks great on everyone and is also a “beauty must have” for Naomi.

Naomi’s eyes look pretty in warm browns, & apricots. A strong brown eyeliner brings the focus back to the eyes and make the green sparkle even more. The Santa Fe at Sunset Eye shadow Palette in color’s that will warm up any complexion.

Velvet Matte Lip Pencil – Nars

SP Bragg — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 18:05:37 +0000

If you are a little tired of all the lip glosses of the summer, maybe its time to move on to something new and equally delicious for fall. How about these lipstick pencils by Nars. Here’s what they have to say about themselves…

“Combining the convenience of a pencil with the application of a lipstick in a jumbo-sized crayon design, these pigment-rich sticks provide a matte, creamy finish that will not dry the lips. Enriched with emollients, vitamin E, and unique silicones, each gorgeous shade glides on and stays put.”

I only have one complaint. There are about a zillion different colors to choose from. I don’t like to have to pick and choose. Maybe I just want them all!

Available at Sephora for $22.00 each.
