NARS Belle Du Jour Summer Collection Review

So I finally got back to the NARS counter to pick up my goodies... I actually returned the Burn it Blue eyeshadow. As I looked at it again it just didn't wow me. The main blue was a bit sheer and the shimmery blue didn't pack the punch I was looking for.


All in all, I was again disappointed with the seasonal collection. It was pretty but did not have that WOW factor. I really disliked the cream blush. I usually love cream blushes and the color was BEAUTIFUL but the texture was very chunky. I put it on my hand and it looked like I had goosebumps or a rash. That is a no no for me! Oh well, more money in my pocket, however I did take home some gorgeous eye shadows from their normal line (Corfu, Mykonos, Pearl beach and Blondie e/s). I will always have a soft spot in my heart for NARS and love the brand dearly but I wish they would kick it up a notch with the seasonal collections especially one named Belle Du Jour! Bummer!

Will you be checking the Belle Du Jour Collection?

  10. Bummer, indeed. I did check this out in person. I did like the Burn it Blue when I swatched it on my hand. I guess I really have to try it on next time I'm at the NARS counter. Maybe I can go to the Saks counter and have the SA put it on me. If I like it then I can take advantage of their 10% off beauty/fragrance sale. If not, there's always other colors from the permanent line I've been meaning to pick up!

  13. I absolutely love NARS, but the past few seasonal "collections" have done nothing for me. I get so excited to go look, and when I do I find them lacking for some reason. Step it up NARS, I love you so! xoxo
