NARS Limited Edition Summer 2016 Collection

I wanted to share the pieces from the NARS Limited Edition Summer 2016 Collection that I received with you. I’ve also got the LE Orgasm blush, too!

NARS Limited Edition Orgasm Blush – $39
This is a peachy pink with golden iridescence. It’s nearly universally flattering. The gold isn’t chunky, it’s pretty and refined.

NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadows in Deep End and Pool Shark – $29
Deep End is described as a shimmering green teal, and in some lights to me it looks like more of a balanced teal. Pool Shark has a cornflower blue base with a violet shift. While both of these are pretty, they’re shown above on bare skin, swiped with my finger tips. I think they would greatly benefit from primer, using them wet, or layering with some of the NARS Larger Than Life Long Wear Eyeliners. Abbey Road is a deep teal blue that would be perfect under Deep End. Khao San Road or St. Mark’s Place would be fun with Pool Shark.

NARS Dual-Intensity Blush in Sexual Content – $45
Sexual Content is a sandy peach and soft raspberry duo. I prefer to use these dry rather than wet. I think these shades are especially flattering on pale skin. I really like the Dual-Intensity blushes that I’ve tried (see my thoughts on Craving).

L to R – Deep End – Pool Shark – Sexual Content

The Summer 2016 Collection also has the following

• Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Topless – seashell pink
• Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Tan Lines – rich hazelnut
• Dual-Intensity Blush in Liberation – light shimmering pink / caramel rose
• Lip Cover in Do Not Disturb – vivid orange red
• Lip Cover in Overheated – deep dusty rose
• Lip Cover in Get Dirty – desert rose
• Lip Cover in Members Only – crimson

I really like the fact that the names seem to have a lot of cohesion with this collection. The colors definitely scream summer to me.

Overall, I think the eyeshadows are nice to have, but not must haves, unless you especially love the Dual-Intensity formula. They would be must haves for me if they had more pigmentation, though as I mentioned you can layer them to really bring out the colors.

If you have pale skin, I think you should consider Sexual Content because both shades are pretty and perfect for a natural flush of color. If you don’t already have Orgasm in your collection, the Limited Edition blush is really nice. I actually have a lot of Super Orgasm blushes (mini travel sizes and in my Danmari palette), but Super Orgasm is chunky in comparison to Orgasm. I prefer the more refined glow of Orgasm to Super Orgasm.
