Nars' summer collection hits counters in May, and it is really making my mouth water: corals, deep, aquatic blues and metallic accents add up to a suite that's perfectly summer-appropriate. Wanna know what's what?
- Burn It Blue Duo Cream Eyeshadow, €34
- Love Devotion Lipstick, €24
- Coup de Coeur Lip Gloss, €24
- Enchanted Cream Blush, €29
- Multiple in Lamu, €41
- Versailles Nail Polish, €18
There's also another cream eyeshadow in Cayenne, €24, which looks completely yuck in the pan, and messed up the pretty in my montage, so am posting it after the cut instead. Out of all the colours, textures and products in this collection, it's the one I'd definitely leave behind.

And now another negative. Pricing. Christ I nearly fell off my laptop when I saw the euro/sterling differential for this little lot - it's been a while since I've had the pleasure of checking out a Nars collection. Now, I know there's only one physical location in which to buy the brand here - Brown Thomas Dublin - but that's surely no excuse to take advantage of us as a captive audience. In the UK, Enchanted cream blush is £19.50, Burn It Blue duo cream eyeshadow is £23.00 and that Cayenne cream eyeshadow is £16.00.
Wow. That is a WHOPPER of a difference for each. So in summary, if you can buy online, ladies, then do so.
