Nars Audacious Mascara Coming Soon!

A new mascara from Nars is not something we see very often, but I just got the news that we will be seeing a new one this fall and it's got a crazy hook..actually a bunch of them! It's called Audacious Mascara ($26), and the brush actually has over 200 molded bristles and lengthening hooks to catch every lash and grip them as it coats.  It claims to separate, lengthen, and amplify while the tapered tip grabs the inner and outermost lashes and bottom fringe.

I have to say though...I'm having a little deja vu here because the whole "lash catching hook" thing sounds a lot like the claims on Benefit's Roller Lash that came out earlier this year (one of my faves, btw).  This brush looks totally different though, so I expect the results will be different too! 

Nars Audacious Mascara will be coming to Nars Boutiques and Nordstrom online on August 1, and at Sephora and Nars counters September 1. 

Nars Dual-Intensity Blush Swatches

Nars Dual-Intensity Blushes ($45, Sephora) are brand new for Spring 2015 and are formulated with Nars' exclusive Translucent Prismatic Technology which allows for multidimensional effects.  

I was able to swatch all six duos while in Sephora today and I was blown away by how soft and pigmented these are!  They can also be used wet for an intense watercolor effect.  

Here are all the duos up close:

I just couldn't get over how beautiful these are and how soft and silky they feel.  There wasn't one shade that was difficult to pick up...they're all really pigmented. I'm dying to buy one now and try it using it with a damp brush to see that "watercolor, second skin" effect but I have no idea what color I want!  Decisions, decisions...
