NARS Fall 2010 Collection

Oh how I have been obsessed with NARS lately! Ever since I discovered the palettes on their website, I want anything and everything NARS. So what is better than their Fall 2010 collection debuting and giving me even more reasons to buy products from them?! The muse for this collection is Daphne Guinness, the legendary heiress to the whole Guinness fortune. The NARS website states the following about the collection, "Whether it is avant-garde or A-list, the NARS woman is simply irresistable. Perhaps no one fits that description better than Daphne Guinness. Francois Nars' mesmerizing muse and inspiration this Fall. Sexy, sultry, daring, and decadent, Daphne 'is the ideal icon to capture Fall 2010's old-Hollywood meets futuristic look,' says Francois".

Here is the new collection...

- Rajasthan - metallic beige/blue-black charcoal
- Tzarine - platinum gold infused with gold and silver reflections/steel gray

This wasn't quite the amazing collection that I was hoping for. I am only really excited about one product, the Duo Eye Shadow in Tzarine, I think I am in love with the platinum gold shade in the duo. Otherwise, the only other item that I want to get is the Strawberry Fields Lip Gloss and that's a shade that I either already own something close to or there are a million dupes out there for it. I'm rather disappointed...
