Yay for spring collections! It gives me hope that better weather is just around the corner. The NARS Spring 2016 collection, Nouvelle Vogue, is a gorgeous little mishmash of products. For the most part, it consists of nude and rosy shades, but also has a few fun pops of color. I have three different products from the NARS Spring 2016 collection to share today! PS- I photographed the NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint with these products, but then decided I’d do a separate review on that- so keep an eye out in the next week or two to hear my experience with it.
All of the three products I was sent from this collection were nude/neutral shades, and am definitely not mad about it. Nudes have been my jam lately, so I am LOVING this lipstick. It’s the NARS Lipstick in Rosecliff, a soft rose with a satin finish, and I feel like everyone needs to own this gorgeous lipstick. It feels so moisturizing on the lips and goes well with SO many different eye looks! I’m also loving the other lipstick in the Nouvelle Vogue collection, NARS Lipstick in Banned Red– though this one does seem more of a fall/winter shade to me.
I have the NARS Lip Gloss in Instant Crash (limited edition), and it’s described as a soft shimmering apricot. While you can see a little twinkle of shimmer in the tube, I don’t actually notice it at all on my lips- so definitely don’t be scared of this one if shimmer usually isn’t your thing, because you know I’m not a shimmer girl myself! This lip gloss on top of Rosecliff is the perfect glossy nude (shown below on the right). Also in this collection is the NARS Lip Gloss in Vida Loca (limited edition as well), a guava. Dare I say it? I think I could be becoming a lip gloss person…
After reviewing the NARS x Steven Klein Dead of Summer Eyeshadow Palette last fall, I kind of fell in love with the NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadows. I love that you can apply them wet for a much more intense look, or you can use them dry for an easy breezy softer daytime look. The shade I have from this collection is Kari, and though I haven’t tried applying it wet just yet, I can tell you that I love it for a one eyeshadow everyday look when applied dry! These shadows are so smooth and blend out beautifully, so it’s easy to create a soft, diffused look for everyday wear.
Other shadows in this collection include:
- NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Tarvos (an icy mint)
- NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Cressida (a shimmering midnight blue)
- NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Hammamet (a matte beige and a bronzed rose, limited edition)
Also part of this collection is the NARS Blush in Impassioned, which is a gorgeous pink orchid. This one is definitely on my wishlist! You can find the NARS Spring 2016 Nouvelle Vogue collection at Sephora, Nordstrom, Hudson’s Bay and, of course, on NARScosmetics.com.
Are any of the NARS Spring 2016 products on your wishlist?

So pretty! I love when all the spring colors start showing up in stores…it makes me so happy!
Chelsea says
Me tooooo! We’ve been having sunny days here sporadically as well, so the combo is just giving me all the happies.
Katherine Mitchell says
Okay, it’s decided I NEED that eyeshadow. The dual intensity in Himalaya was in my January Favorites I am in love with the texture of these bad boys
Chelsea says
NARS shadows are just amazing!! I need to try this shadow applied wet ASAP.
Lindsey Elyse says
Love this collection! I’m not a lip gloss person either, but darn that looks good! I need to get on board and at least try something from NARS one of these days!
Chelsea says
Doesn’t it?! I’ve been loving gloss so much more lately. I think it’s because the formulas are getting better and better (aka less sticky, which is the main reason I don’t use it often)! And oh my gosh yes, NARS is a great brand. You can’t go wrong with any of their products!
natalie loves beauty says
That lip combo is ?! Looking forward to your post on the Velvet Matte Skin Tint!
Chelsea says
Right?! I’ve never liked gloss much but I am really starting to get into it lately… this combo has totally sold me. And yes, that should be up next week!!
Amanda rinehart says
I have never even owned a Nars product. And I am OBSESSED with makeup so I know these needs remedied STAT! Ive always wanted to try the creamy concealer, but I BURN through some concealer so it’s just too expensive of an option. I’m thinking Ill have to try one of their blushes. People rave about them!
Chelsea says
Oh gosh, go buy something now. Seriously, haha. Ahhh, the Radiant Creamy Concealer is high on my wishlist as well, but I’m also scared of running out of it too fast, ahah. I’ll bite the bullet and get it one of these days, it’s so highly recommended!! Yesss, the blushes are gorgeous. And so are the shadows. And the foundations. And the lipsticks. SERIOUSLY- everything is so good!

That gloss is beautiful! Can’t wait to hear what you think of the Velvet Matte Skin Tints.

Isn’t it?! I’ve been wearing the Skin Tint a toooon, so I’m totally ready to give a full review! Can’t wait!
Lixa says
Love these new colors! Thanks for reviewing/sharing. I can’t wait to pick up that lipstick!

Loving these neutrals! So perfect for a fresh-faced Spring look. – Katy
Courtney says
You look gorgeous lady!! I am a NARS addict and I always go weak for the new collections. I am dying to try the new skin tint so I can’t wait to see what you think! I also love the dual intensity shadows and I need to build up my collection, Tarvos sounds stunning!
Jenn says
Curious to hear your thoughts on the Skin Tint – I’ve heard good things so far and it looks great on your skin here! Love the neutrals in this collection too!
Aida@TheCraftingFoodie says
What a pretty pallet! Sometimes peachy nudes are tough for me because I have olive skin, but it’s still super pretty. I can’t wait to read your review for the Velvet Matte Skin Tint. I love products that even skin tone and give me a more polished look without looking too made up.
Kelly says
Oh my goodness, such pretty shades!
