NARS Summer 2014 Review
Today I wanted to show you some pieces from the NARS Summer 2014 collection. This summer, NARS also reformulated all of their lipglosses, so I have a few of those shades to show you too. I purchased Wonder (the orange) from Nordstrom.
PR sample + purchased by me.

Tropical Princess – $35
neon lemon lime and icy lavender
The eyeshadows have great color payoff. This is swatched on bare skin. The icy lavender is like a white with a light lavender purple tint. The neon lemon lime is a pretty light chartreuse.
I don’t really feel like this duo can stand on its own. You need to throw in other colors to work with it. I would recommend trying Dogon II (charcoal black) or Mekong (deep velvety brown) with the chartreuse on the lid and highlight at the inner corner and under the brow with the iced lavender. (You can see Dogon II and Mekong in the NARSissist palette).
All of the NARS glosses are $26.
Priscilla
Shocking pink
Priscilla is a new shade from NARS. It’s a beautiful hot pink. It needs a lipliner as it can bleed a bit. I adore this color.
Wonder
Sheer mandarin orange with pink and gold shimmer
Wonder is another new shade. This is a pretty, bright orange. It’s semi-sheer, so you can wear it as it is for a pop of color, or layer it on top of a lip pencil. I love the delicate shimmer in it.
Turkish Delight
pink sherbet
Turkish Delight is an older NARS lipgloss shade that has been reformulated for Summer 2014. It’s the same color as strawberry milk.
Dolce Vita
sheer dusty rose
This is sort of a mauvey rose shade. It’s not a flattering shade on me, but I know it’s one of those colors that looks good on a wide variety of skintones. It’s not sheer to me at all; it’s very opaque.
Hot Sand Illuminator – $30
peach champagne
This is a stunning new highlighter from NARS. I absolutely love this peach champagne shade. It’s just beautiful. I always feel like NARS Illuminators are worth the price because they last forever. I’ve never finished one.
You can see more from the NARS Summer 2014 collection here.
For me, I really love Hot Sand Illuminator and Priscilla gloss. The eyeshadow duo is nice, too. To me, the new glosses feel like they’re more moisturizing than the original.
What pieces stood out to you from the NARS Summer 2014 collection? What do you think of the reformulated glosses?
Would love to try the Illuminator.
Pretty!
I love the items you talked about and the pictures made everything nice. I would love to try these products and will keep my eye out when shopping. Thanks for the great review.
I seriously need to try something from this line
I think I need to head to Sephora and pick up a refill of Turkish Delight. I forgot how gorgeous that color is!!
Those glosses are calling to me. I SO hope these are on sale at TMS Chicago! I need to grab some of these goodies from NARS.
Turkish Delight and Wonder Lip gloss happen to be my favorite in this whole collection.
that eyeshadow duo looks awesome!
These are very sheer. I think the only thing I would like would be the green in tropical princess.
Tropical Princess does interest me but I don’t know if I would wear it
Dolce Vita is so pretty! I just want to raid your ‘didn’t work for me’ stash. lol!
Loving that illuminator!
These are gorgeous!
I’m not a lipgloss person, but Dolce Vita looks beautiful.
The highlighter is gorge!
I love this highlighter! I have a ton of others, but the impulsive buyer in me is trying to convince me that I need it.
Oh my – that illuminator… love it!
I want that Illuminator!!
On my days them eyeshadows!! *grabby hands*
Hot Sand is totally up my alley!
I love the Nars Illuminator. So pretty!
wow I would never be able to tell you were wearing Priscilla on that photo! its so sheer/pale there compared to the upper swatch!
please swatch the other ones on your lips too when you get a chance! 🙂
I applied it very sheerly, plus it was a photo taken in my car with my cell phone.
it’s always good to be able to build the product up as desired 🙂
I tend to want everything super pigmented, but even if it’s a pigmented gloss, if I want it sheered out, I’ll only apply a tiny bit and use my finger tip to sheer it, or I’ll mix with a clear gloss.
that shadow duo is prettyyyyy
I like the glosses but the shadows aren’t for me.
These lip glosses look great!
Omg that hot sand illuminator is to die for. Love Turkish delight too. Gorgeous!!!
That chartreuse shadow is gorgeous
The eye shadow duo and the Priscilla lip gloss looks very beautiful and appropriate for summer.
The eyeshadow looks right up your alley!
I love Priscilla and Hot Sand! I might have to indulge this time… haha
Loooove Dolce Vita!
Your makeup looks phenomenal here. Especially your illuminator and eyeshadow, wow!
I LOVE their new glosses! And that duo is to die for!
That illuminator looks gorgeous with your skin tone and really stands out. Now I want it!
I haven’t got to try to any of the summer collection yet! I want get the lip gloss in Turkish Delight!
