NARS Makeup - From Malaysia With Love

I must admit now that I am a newbie to the makeup line NARS.

This is mainly because there is no NARS on the island that is my shopping paradise Singapore. As far as I know, even the newly opened Sephora at ION (the largest Sephora in Asia and the second in size to the biggest one in the world located in France’s Champs-Élysées) does not carry it.

But thanks to the makeup community on You Tube, curiosity got the better of me. Of course I had heard of their cult blushes that go by names that will make your own mother go crimson in the face when requesting for it at their counters ("May I get an Orgasm please? And oh, a Deep Throat on the side as well??") but perhaps that was what Francois Nars wanted.

So apparently as the NARS story goes, it twas a Frenchman that started out with a mere 12 lippies in Barneys that is now the name behind cult lipsticks like Dolce Vita and Turkish Delight. Ooh-la-la I hear you exclaim. Oui, I didn't know that either.

But I have been secretly reviewing my recent NARS purchases from Mecca Cosmetica (in Australia, you can only get NARS from this beauty emporium) for the past month and ladies, I have only but tres bien things to say about it.

I will get the post up soon, complete with pictures of my Orgasmified cheeks but Francois Nars has made me not only fall in love with his makeup, but him as well (typical Frechman!). But which other makeup line will name their latest Spring 2010 blush and multiple sticks after my own homeland?

Only NARS.






Malaysia is part of the NARS Multiple Bronzer line (they have 4 shades). Together along with their Multiple line, these operate as a multi-functional colour stick for face, eyes and lips.






I have only heard good things about NARS Duo Eyeshadows and their fabulous colour payoff that you get. This is the Kuala Lumpur duo which is part of their Spring 2010 look that Amber Valleta sports. I just love the way NARS describes the eyeshadow:
" A perfectly harmonized gold infused rose and boysenberry pairing is influenced by contrasts - traditional yet modern, like it's namesake "
