Time for some new NARS shades! This summer's collection was inspired by Catherine Devenue is the classic film, Belle de Jour. I have never seen this movie but I have heard wonderful reviews of it and it is racing to the top of my list of movies to purchase. The NARS website states that, "Francois Nars looked for inspiration from the character Severine, played by Catherine Devenue in the iconic film Belle de Jour. 'Her character is incredibly beautiful and elegant,' says Francois. 'Her look is effortless - she has an incredible inner sophistication."I love NARS so let's check out this new collection...

I'm not really loving this collection, I like it but I am not overwhelmed by it. I think that the Cream Eye Shadow Duo is beautiful but this isn't a set of shades that I could pull off without looking terribly 80s. I love the Cayenne Cream Eye Shadow, I would use it as both a shadow and as an eyeliner. I think that I might actually get more use out of it as a liner. I really like the Cream Blush, I love NARS Powder Blushes so I have high hopes for the creeam based formula. I like the new nail polish shade but I'm not that big of a fan of the new lip shades.
