I love a bit of Andy Warhol, and I love a bit of NARS. So I was pretty thrilled when it was announced that the two were to collaborate for a collection. I bought a highlighter (which I'll be posting about very soon!) and more recently this set, as I just couldn't resist. Inspired by the look of Warhol's muse and sixties It Girl Edie Sedgwick, this set is beautifully presented in a 16mm film canister (which is authentic, by the way!). Onto the contents!
The set contains a Pure Matte Lipstick in shade 'Film Star' (which is a new colour but I'm not sure if you can purchase it seperately). I expected it to be really drying but as long as your lips are in good condition it's easy to work with. I generally use a little lipbalm before applying pale shades like this anyway just to avoid any appearance of dryness.
The eyeshadow in the shade 'Edie' is a new slightly shimmery cream shade which is also available to buy separately. This has actually taken place of any other shadows recently as it's portable and easy to wear with anything. I don't suppose it really shows up to anyone but myself but I love it since it creates a clean base. Perfect!
The Eyeliner Stylo in 'Carpates' (that translates as black to me and you) is easy to use and a nice, intense black which is pretty much all I look for in a good eyeliner. Seems to be long wearing too so no quibbles here.
Finally, the set comes with a blush duo of Deep Throat (which I've reviewed before here) and Amour, a deeper peachy pink shade. The two work really well together as one is a matte and the other has a touch of shimmer. I like to swirl my brush around the both of them and lightly apply as Amour is very pigmented so it's easy to overdo it!
I'm so pleased I took the plunge and bought this since I honestly will get use from every product. It's good value too since you're saving around £30. Perfect present for a very special person.. yourself included. Love it love it love it!
Are you a NARS fan? Has anything from the Andy Warhol collection tickled your fancy?
This looks beautiful!!

I was sent the Larger Than Life lipgloss in Penny Arcade which is beautiful. I've been thinking of purchasing this but I found the eyeshadow to be quite chalky when I swatched it. What's it like applied with a brush?

I think it looks like it'll be chalky because of the shade but on the lid it's fine!

Everything in this gift set looks amazing, however £54 is a little out of my price range. Wish I could afford something like this. Absolutely stunning!

Oh wow this is so pretty! Was the stylo easy to use? Lx
ReplyDeleteYup I wrote that it was haha :)
DeleteThat is so amazing! I love Nars and it looks beautiful on you

This set looks absolutely gorgeous, couldn't bring myself to pay the £54 for it though as itdoesn't seem like you get much for your money. I know it's cheaper than buying them individually, but I just think there are better value Christmas gift sets out there. I'd be lying if I said I didn't reeeeally want this though! Hope you enjoy using it :)

Oh I love nars! I definitely want to try that eyeliner!

These look lovely - especially the blush! Such a great idea for the tin as well!
ReplyDeleteThis would make a really great gift for a Nars fan if you didn't mind paying the price! It is a lot of money but like you say, it's a big saving on the individual prices.x
ReplyDeleteEverything in this set looks great. I wish I had that amount of money to spend, maybe I need to show Santa this for Christmas :) x
ReplyDeleteI love the NARS and Andy Warhol collection it's so classy and really well presented.

ReplyDeleteI think I may be in love! I'm such a huge fan of Andy Warhol's work (being a artist Geek that is) and the fact that it's designed for some lovely make up I WANT IT PLEASE../.
ReplyDeleteLooks like another item I may have to add to my Christmas list!
