A heaven sent trio for cool pink lovers, "Tainted Love" is by far the nicest value set I've seen from NARS.
Released in time for Valentines 2011, it contains the new Angelika Multiple (exclusive to the set), Angelika lip gloss and the notoriously hot Schiap nail lacquer.
The Angelika Multiple (face, eyes, lips, body) Tint
This Angelika multiple is just a wee bit smaller compared to a regular sized tube. It contains 13g of product whereas a regular one has 14g.
swatch:
cotton candy pink with silver shimmer
The Angelika Multiple is long wearing (just like Turks & Caicos), highly pigmented and the shimmer does not fall out and travel all over my face. However, it should be applied with a very light hand as it can make you look clownish if you overdo it.
Angelika Lip Gloss
again, a cotton candy pink with silver shimmer. Consistency is a bit thick and sticky, but overall still comfortable to wear. Worn alone, it will enhance your lips and make it smooth and plump, adding a pristine shine. But I like it better when worn over vivid pink lipsticks. The effect is just so pretty! I usually get 4-5 hours of wear with this lip gloss.
swatch:
Schiap Nail Lacquer is a creamy fuschia shade.
NOTD:
This is the first time I'm trying NARS nail lacquers and I have to say consistency is really good, the brush is great, it makes the polish glide on smoothly. Definitely not streaky. You can get away with a single coat as its highly pigmented but on this NOTD I applied 2 coats to make it fully opaque. Schiap reminds me of CHANEL Pulsion, not an exact dupe because the latter looks creamier, and Schiap has more blue undertones to it, but similar.
This set retails for Php3,350 (appox. USD78) at local NARS counters. US price I believe is $59 (damyoo value added tax!) I would recommend it if you like cool pinks, you're new to the brand and would like to try their products at a value price, everything is in full size so you get your money's worth. Get it while you can, I don't think you'll regret it.
Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteGeorgina, I'm so in love with the colors of this set! The pinks are sweet but not overdone. If only I didn't find out NARS was bought by Shiseido > < but it's okay, I'm on the lookout for pretty pinks on the market year round ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's fun to be evil (but only in mostly harmless ways). =)
