"Haute couture Holiday style.", states the NARS website in a description of this collection. This collection picks up so many of the trends that we have been seeing on the runways over the past few months. Dramatic eye makeup is at the front of this collection, along with red lips and jewel toned nail polishes. This may be one of the best collections of the entire year, as was the NARS holiday collection from 2010. Now let's see this collection product by product!

I love the Trio Eye Shadow in this collection, it is my favorite piece and the piece that is going to the top of my shopping list! All three of these shades are lovely and perfect to wear at night for the rest of the fall and into the holidays. The only shade that I own like any of these is MAC Black Tied, a black with silver shimmer, I don't own anything like the violet or red shimmer shadows in this palette. My second favorite piece is the Endless Night Nail Polish. I really like the Space Odyssey color but I already own a platinum foil and they aren't so different as to warrant the purchase of this shade also.
I really liked the Joyous Red shade of lipstick until I really started to look at it in the model, it nows looks a bit too warm for me to carry off. I prefer blue-based or true reds and this one doesn't really catch my fancy. I will try it again at the counter in Sephora but I betting that I can skip over it. I am willing to try out this shade in The Multiple, this one is rose gold so I might be able to make it work out for me, I am especially interested in using it as an eye makeup shade. I like the new Cream Eye Shadow shade but I do need to see how unique it is since I already own tons of bronzes and neutrals already and I might be able to skip over it. The Duo Eye Shadow is a complete wash for me, way too much navy and blue in it for me to carry it off. I am also on the fence about the eyeliner shades, I like both of the them but I already own shades from Urban Decay that appear very close to these (at least on the computer) but I may revise my opinion once I see them in person. I really like St. Marks Place and I might be this one anyway since it is so lovely.
I just love this whole collection and I love that this collection actually contains something for everyone. Whether you like a smoky eye or a more graphic liner look, this collection contains products for you. The same with both nails and lip products, this is one of the best collections that I have seen so far this whole year.
