NARS is helping us usher in the warm summer season with a collection that does not shy away one bit from color. Inspired by the glamorous decade of the 1970s, these products provide high impact, vibrant shades of yellow and purple eye shadow, a limited edition neon orange nail polish, and a bright pink lip gloss for a pout full of punch. The collection will be available starting April 15th at NARScosmetics.com for anyone who wants to start their summer season a little early (and really, who doesn’t?). With these products in your beach bag or raffia clutch, you’ll be ready for a summer party in no time.
Before this collection hits stores, NARS is gifting its fans products via a Instagram Lip Challenge, complete with some sweet prizes (click here for rules). All you have to do is post a photo to Instagram inspired by one of the lip shades of berry, nude, pink, and red on the color’s designated day with the hashtag #NARSLips in the photo description. All submissions will be displayed on the “NARS Exclusives” tab on Facebook at www.facebook.com/narscosmetics. and will choose the most creative submission each day as the winner to receive the entire range of NARS’ 39 lip pencils from the Velvet Gloss, Velvet Matte, and the newest Satin line. The contest ends April 5th, which gives you two days to reveal the makeup artist within you and get a chance to win some free products. What could be better?
It really is getting to be into the swing of the countdown for my July nuptials, and as a wonderful special project, I teamed up with The White Gown in DUMBO, Brooklyn for a fun bridal beauty tutorial video! I wore a Nicole Miller gown, in a similar style to my own dress, and sported two different hair piece and makeup looks. You will soon get to see the video and vote on which look you think I should wear for my wedding, but in the meanwhile, here’s the behind-the-scenes pics from the photoshoot! The amazing team included host Dawn Del Russo, makeup by Lindsey Jones, hair by Laureen Krawse, hair accessories by Thea of Hushed Commotion, video by Courtney of Love + Brain Films, Abby Ludowise of Chic Creative for coordinating, and of course, The White Gown!
There really was no better way to round up this collection of goodies then with the title above! I’ve got some items that have gone the distance for me, so I thought it would be great to share them with you, as I’m certain they will pique your interest too!
