New NARS product for Spring 2013 – Satin Lip Pencils with swatches!

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Its seems as though this spring and summer is all about the bright, semi-glossy lip.  Intense colour like a lipstick with the glossiness of a lip gloss.   But not super shiny, more like a really slick lip balm.  All in a chubby pencil.  Cute, convenient. So NARS Satin Lip Pencils are a perfect example of this and are now available online at narscometics.com and at their boutiques.

Speaking of boutiques, I recently went  to the NARS boutique on 413 Bleecker when they unveiled their Satin Lip collection as well as I was able to see their new Radiant Creamy Concealers.  Some pics of that are below, but here’s the scoop on the new Satin Lip Pencils.

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

So New York Fashion Week is over and NARS took the opportunity to test out a new addition to their product line, Radiant Creamy Concealer.

From PR:

BUILDABLE. BLENDABLE. BRILLIANT.

 Ideal for all skin types, new NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer boasts a luxuriously smooth texture enriched with hydrating skincare benefits. When applied to camouflage darkness under the eyes and reduce the appearance of redness and skin imperfections, the multi-action formula provides medium to high buildable coverage in a natural, radiant finish with long-lasting results.

 A single stroke keeps complexion looking fresh and creaseless all day – going on smoothly and blending easily. Light diffusing technology blurs imperfections and fine lines, and evens skin tone without masking skin’s natural coloring.

 Skin glows with new radiance over or under foundation – and looks beautiful even when bare. Perfect as a complement to Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF30 or layered with Sheer Matte & Sheer Glow Foundation.

 Crease-proof. Long-wear. Non-comedogenic. Dermatologist tested. Paraben-free. Alcohol-free. Fragrance-free.

Beauty Inspiration: “Salma is such a knockout! Her dress was midnight blue – very sophisticated and over-the-top glamour, so we wanted to play off the dress, but keep things hip and modern with fresh makeup. The eyes are very luminescent – we lightened them up with coppers and silvery peach, then gave them depth with eggplant and plum. With a bright lip, the look was trendy, young, and modern.”
