This collection is a mixture of very bold hues and subtle shimmers. This collection screams "fall" and I love how different this one is from any of the summer collections that we had looked at several months ago, fall is completely different season and I personally dislike seeing bronzers included with fall hues. "Bold. Breathtaking. Seductive" is the description of this collection. This description is very simple and very accurate, it gets right to the point without mincing words. NARS has been one of my favorite brands for years and so far this year, it has been in competition with MAC for my favorite makeup brand. As of right now, it has been the brand that I have spent more money on this year than any other (MAC and Chanel are pretty close behind though) and I am hoping for some great new choices from this collection. I am always tempted to click on the "Add All Items To Bag" icon on the NARS website...

I have a lot of top picks from this collection! I really love the new shade in the Duo Eyeshadow, this shimmering combination of charcoal and silver will be great for the fall and this isn't a combination that I normally jump for but I really love this duo. I don't own near as many silver makeup items as I own gold so this duo will create a whole new look for me this fall! This duo is jumping to the top of my shopping list. I like the shades in the Trio however I don't know that I must own this piece. I love the iridescent amethyst shade in this trio however neither of the other shades really jump out at me, it would be better for me to find a single eye shadow that is close to this shade.
This lip shades in this collection get me really excited for fall - these are the hues that I have dreaming of since I first did my Fall Trend Preview! I love the Pure Matte Lipstick, the garnet red shade is slightly deep than many of the cool blue red shades that I currently own and I will want to buy this shade as soon as possible. I don't believe that I have a red in my collection that is this hue and it would actually fill a hole in my red lipstiick collection. I am on the fence about the Sheer Lipstick shade, it looks lovely in the picture. However I do wonder how sheer this lipstick really is, I would love this shade in a full pigment lisptick but I will need to see the application of it before I go one way or the other. I an currently trying my first NARS Sheer Lipstick and it is not highly pigmeted, so I don't think that this shade will be exactly what I want. The lip gloss hue is a bit too warm for me so I will be skipping over it.
Lastly, The Multiple has me very interested this time around. This is the first time that I have seen it offered in a pale pink with a silver shimmer, usually I worry that the hues in the product are much to warm and bronzy for me but this one is completely different. I will need to play with this one at the counter too. The blush shade is a bit disappointing, I love the deep rose hue but the gold shimmer wouldn't work as well for my skintone as it would work for others. I will be looking for another blush with this hue that has a matte finish. Of course I like the nail polish shade however I already own Illamasqua's DWS so I don't really need this new shade.
This is my favorite collection that I have looked at so far and I think that it will be among the top collections for fall. This is exactly the type of fall collection that I have been craving for about a month now!
