NARS Summer Launch Event in San Francisco

I’m a complete and total NARS freak. I have been for years.  When I crack open my pro kit, there is  sea of black cases and tubes neatly stacked and well-used.  As a matter of fact, the name of my blog even came from a comment one of my clients made about the NARS Orgasm blush — she called it “cheek bling.”

Yesterday I felt honored to be be part of the NARS Summer Launch Event at Hotel Adagio.  Janice Daoud, Nation Artist for NARS, presented all of the hot new items for summer and I love every single one.  After the presentation we received an extremely generous swag bag chalk full of NARS goodies.

Amber Valetta -- NARS Summer Collection

So here’s the rundown of the contents of my bag:


1.  Sheer lip treatment SPF 15 — NARS Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment nourishes and hydrates chapped lips, while giving a sheer yet noticeable tint. Infused with SPF 15, the rich and creamy texture protects lips throughout the day. I’m wearing it as I type! $25

2. Sephora Limited Edition Lip Gloss Collection — Debuting exclusively at Sephora, NARS Cosmetics introduces five must-have lip glosses named after signature NARS blushes.  This limited-edition collection includes shades inspired by their eponymous blushes offering distinctively playful pouts in a variety of finishes.  Available in Albatross (Luminous Glow), Angelika (Cotton Candy Pink with gold and silver sparkle Oasis (Sparkling pink champagne), Super Orgasm (Peachy pink with gold glitter), and Luster (Sheer Golden Apricot). $24

Available July 29 at Sephora and Sephora.com.

3.  Multiple Tint — Bright, yet translucent tints, give cheeks and lips a sheer pop of color.  This multi-purpose color can be worn alone for flushed cheeks or stained lips.  For a bolder effect, it can be layered over other NARS face and lip products.  Available in 3 vibrant colors, Beverly Hills (bright red), Turks & Caicos (bright orange) and Cadaqués (bright fuschia). $38 Limited Edition.

I received Beverly Hills in my swag bag and I can’t wait to wear it.  Stay posted for pics!
