This shopping post is very, very late but nonetheless, I would like to show you what I got from NARS Makeup Collection For Spring 2012. With the help of a good friend, Sophia and her friend, I picked up the following items;-
-
Gaiety Blush – bright candy pink (reviewed + comparison by The Make-up Blogette)
-
Paramaribo Duo Eyeshadow – metallic brass / metallic bronze (reviewed + look by Messy Wands)
-
Lhasa Shimmer Eyeshadow – lavender grey (reviewed + comparison by The Beauty Look Book)
-
Abbey Road Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner – iridescent turquoise (reviewed + look by Beauty & Baggage)
-
Bilbao Satin Lipstick – shimmering topaz (reviewed + comparison by Café Makeup)
I am not sure if I have time to review any of these products, I am so sorry for the delay. Besides, we are moving into Summer collections now (excited) but I will probably do a look featuring them.
I love all the products I bought – really lucky as I ordered them solely based on online swatches and reviews. If you are interested to see more, please click on the links I have inserted above, very comprehensive reviews by my favourite beauty bloggers.
Other than the makeup items from Spring, I also purchased a bottle of Sheer Glow Foundation while I was in Hong Kong last year. I am loving it but the bottle is driving me crazy – too messy and I often pour out more than I need. I accidentally saw the Liquid Foundation Pump on Nordstrom and decided to get it.
With the pump, there is no room for the cap but the pump comes with a lock – which is handy in a way and still manageable for travels (must remember to turn and lock the pump).
I haven’t purchased anything from NARS Makeup Collection For Summer 2012 – not sure if I will. Maybe I shall be extremely patient until NARS comes to Singapore end of the year. Being a fan of their Velvet Matte Lip Pencils, I got to have Never Say Never and I think the Liberté Blush is very pretty too.
Did you pick up anything from NARS lately?

Nice photos! Does the sheer glow foundation actually make you look glowy or is it more like a tinted moisturizer type ? 🙂
Thank you dear..
Sheer Glow provides more coverage than tinted moisturizers, able to even up my skin tone and adds a healthy glow to my complexion..
I usually dust a small amount of loose powder/press powder over my T-zone xx
thanks for the great reply.. def. clears things up! I would love to try the sheer glow. How much is it?
Sorry, I can’t remember the price..
no worries I’ll google it! thanks for all the info!
No problem =)
Are you residing in Singapore?
No, I live in the USA. Would be so cool to visit Singapore though!
I want to visit the US some time =)
Going to go crazy shopping..
You should! I’ll take you shopping!
LOL..
Aww, thank you for offering in advance!!
Where do you live in the US?
I live in Southern California.
Beautiful place =)
Looking forward to visiting some day!!
Let me start planning and saving up..
xx
Some parts are and some parts, not so much 🙂 I hope when you finally come, we can meet up for lunch or something! If you do come, remember to go to Disneyland! It’s my favorite 🙂
Sure!!
Oh my, I wish I can fly over right now =)
Awesome! I feel that way about going to Singapore!
You must schedule a visit some time!!
I would love to; maybe when I’ve saved some money up!
Awesome..
Shall bring you shopping!!
woot ! I’m excited already!!
I am wondering how many foundations do you own? Which brand makes the best one? If you could only have one, which would it be?
Hi Mimi,
You got me there, I was staring at my foundation stash – I couldn’t pick one!!
LOL..
What about you? If you could only pick one, which would it be?
I got the Pure Radiance tinted moisturizer. It will be perfect for spring and summer. It has a beautiful dewy finish.
About the Clarins Ever Matte… I finally tested it. It’s a little too soon to make a complete review but I should say it’s a really good foundation. It delivers a matte finish without looking cakey. I don’t powder and it lasts all day without shining. Maybe a little less effective in Singapore than in Paris as it’s more humid.
So my offer still stands if you’re interested 😉
Hi Mai Linh,
Awesome!! Have heard so much about their Pure Radiance Tinted Moisturizer but haven’t tried before – does it provide much coverage?
You are tempting me!!
Hmmmm..
Let me think and I shall PM you if I can’t sleep tonight =)
Happy Sunday xx
It’s quite buildable sheer to medium coverage depends if you use your fingers or a brush. The texture feels a little like a gel, really fresh!
I love dewy and luminous foundation so if I should choose I’d rather take the Nars than the Clarins one 😉
Morning Mai Linh,
Thank you so much for sharing!!
in your haul, im eyeing Bilbao Satin Lipstick =) yes because its near-nude and i think its just perfect =) i have my very first NARS blush in deep throat gifted to me by Penelope.. and dear.. i love it =)
Hi dear,
The lipstick is beautiful =)
And I can’t wait to try the eyeliner – haven’t used it yet!!
