NARS Spring 2015

I am way not on the ball when it comes to NARS Spring – so unlike me! Their launches are usually among the ones that I am most excited for probably because it is always so darn good. And somehow I didn’t get this up until today – a couple weeks after it hit shelves.

If it was even possible, I am drawn more towards neutrals as the years go on and Spring 2015 is all about nudes – but not neutral – a more daring subtle color palette. Something in my wheelhouse but just a slight twist – I like it.

Tilda Swinton is featured in the collection’s photos designed by François Nars to “expose a new natural state”. Look for pink shimmer on cheeks, barely there eye shadow and deep neutrals. The shades pictured above (from left to right):

Liguria Lipstick – Nude caramel
Porto Venere Eye Paint – Soft pale pink
St-Paul-De-Vence Duo Eyeshadow – (L) Shimmering nectarine (R) Chestnut
Valhalla Single Eyeshadow – Soft shimmering pink peach
Guyane Lip Gloss – Seashell pink
Vent Salé Lip Gloss – Silver highlight (to be used on top of a deeper shade in the middle of the pout)
Reckless Blush – Sheer pink shimmer

Available now at narscosmetics.com and Sephora.

Laura Mercier Spring (and a couple other new favorites)

What’s not to love about Laura Mercier? Her color is all about flawless skin and wearable formulas and shades. Spring is no different. Inspired by Spring Renaissance, expect youthful and fresh colors with lots of shine and glow. Laura achieved this with warm shades, luminous skin and corals and peaches.

Fabulous Finds From Your Drugstore Aisles

You could call this drugstore roundup designed for holiday season. Since Halloween isn’t really my cup of tea, I am going to skip right onto fall festivities. Everything from shiny hair, white teeth and an awesome hangover cure just screams PARTY! That seems to be my focus as I troll the drugstore aisles. Here are some of my favorite finds:

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask expertly douses my hair with much needed moisture now that I color my hair. My strands are much softer and shinier after using twice a week for the last month.

UrgentRx Ache & Pain Fast Powder works without water and is perfect to stash in your purse. Just pour the powder into your mouth and that lemon-lime flavored goodness will have that headache gone in no time (also an awesome hangover cure).

Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash manages to be both oil and soap-free yet lathers into a satisfying foam that gently removes makeup and leaves skin soft and not dry.

Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color applies much more luxuriously than its $2.29 price tag. This rich color has hydrating ingredients ensuring no caking.

Colgate 360 Optic White Toothbrush (I know… a little random) has special polishing bristles which I really do think are helping make my teeth whiter.
