Good morning! Today I’ve got products from the NARS Spring 2014 and Final Cut Collections to show you. I was sent China Seas Eyeshadow duo and Bimini Larger Than Life Lipgloss from the Spring 2014 Color Collection. For the New Edge of Pink Final Cut Collection I received New Attitude and Villa Lante.

Products Currently Available Online to Purchase
Bimini Larger Than Life Lipgloss
China Seas Eyeshadow Duo

Spring 2014 Color China Seas Eyeshadow Duo – Iridescent turquoise with gold infusion / Iridescent plum
The iridescent turquoise was not as pigmented as I would have hoped but it will behave better on primer.
The iridescent plum reminded me of a red plum / burgundy shade. Very pretty!

Spring 2014 Color Bimini Larger Than Life Lipgloss – Sheer pink guava
This was a peachy pink type shade to me. Love it!

Final Cut New Attitude Blush – cherry blossom pink
This is a soft yet brightening pink on the skin. I love the blue undertones as they’re flattering on my skintone. It gives your cheeks a nice glow. I like that it’s a satiny matte finish.

Final Cut Villa Lante – cherry blossom pink
This is a vivid  bright pink shade. I love the blue undertones as they’re flattering on my skintone. Very pretty!

All products swatched on bare skin.

Eyeshadow Pros

• Two pretty, unexpected shades

Eyeshadow Cons

• The turquoise wasn’t as pigmented as I had hoped it would be

Gloss Pros

• Very pretty color
• Love the texture

Gloss Cons

• Shade may not be universally flattering

Blush Pros

• Gorgeous pink that brightens the complexion
• A good amount of product for the price
• I love the satiny matte finish

Blush Cons

• The blue undertones might not suit every skintone

Lip Pencil Pros

• Gorgeous bright pink, suitable to a variety of skintones
• Comfortable formula to wear

Lip Pencil Cons

• Color may migrate or transfer slightly since it’s not a matte formula.
• Wear time isn’t as long as the Velvet Matte lip pencils (which I adore)

Overall, I’m in love with the blush and the gloss. I like the lip pencil because it’s a perfect bright pink on me. I’m a little disappointed with the eyeshadows but they’re workable, especially if you layer the turquoise on top of NARS Eye Paint in Solomon Islands.
