    THAT CHEEK PALETTE. WANT.

    It looks like a combo of Mata Hari, Amour, Albatross and Orgasm!

      PS – Karen, have you noticed the weird plasticky scent in NARS glosses? I really loved the color Chihuahua, but I just couldn’t get over the scent, it was so disgusting. Do the newer “Larger Than Life” ones have that scent also?

        OMG, YES. I can’t wear their glosses for this reason – the scent totally turns my stomach. But I haven’t tried the Larger Than Life glosses…

        Karen, I’m loving Autumn Leaves on you!!!

        I hate the smell of Sandpaper (Sandpiper?). Lovely colour. Rarely wear it because of the scent. Oddly, the much less beloved Turkish Delight does not seem to have the smell?

    Gorgeous!! I love the looks you’ve created with these products, Karen — and the products themselves, of course 😉

    Everything just looks so stunning, especially those blushers! I’m not terribly excited about the cheek palette (gold highlighters & I have never gotten along), but Outlaw and Undress Me look absolutely breathtaking.

      Both of those are super cool. Undress Me even has this little silver flecks of glitter… so cute!

      I hope you give the eye makeup a try. I think that trio would look fierce on you.

      Hi Agata,

      How are you? I hope you’re doing well!

      Random coffee talk: I’ve discovered that I’m not a big fan of arabica beans. I accidentally picked up a bag of arabica coffee last weekend… it’s so rich and almost smokey! I need mellow coffee, LOL!

      • Agata says

        July 11th, 2012 at 3:12 pm

        Yes, Arabica and Columbia coffee beans are the strongest, which I actually like. I think you’d like the Starbucks Blonde roast, it’s pretty mellow but yet delicious.

        I have been doing ok, less work than usual because my work is doing some system upgrades and not working makes me kinda depressed…My husband says I am a workaholic,lol.

    The Rouge Tribal lipgloss looks stunning on you, especially paired with this gray eye look! Totally my kind of color and I know it will hard to resist…

    I’m curious about the Vent Glacé duo. In the pan, these look EXACTLY like a duo by Essence that I own, which unfortunately performs poorly.

    You can really sell the Nars line. It all looks amazing on you, especially the Autumn Leaves lipstick and Storm Bird nail polish. I think the Storm Bird nail polish is calling my name – I have a Nars nail polish in Orgasm and it holds up really well to chips (I only paint my toes, and I have to keep my toes painted at all times so I’m always looking at new polishes to try out.).

    I can’t wait to get my hands on outlaw! I think I am a little crazy about NARS blushes, I will never finish them, but I want to get my hands on all the ones they have!

    And the lip products! I. Want. Them. ALLLLL!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
