fête à fête

It's that special time of the year to sparkle, and NARS has the arsenal to pull your glam holiday look together. Their new 2007 Holiday Collection is full of shimmery plums and glittery silver, along with pretty crimson shades for the lips.

There's a lot of fun colors to play with for the eyes. The Violetta duo eyeshadow contains a smoky lavender and a soft metaillic violet, allowing you to go for a soft and elegant look, or you can layer for a more dramatic effect. The Cheyenne duo is another winner with a metallic sienna and a gothic plum. I also love the sparkly glints in the Night Rider single eyeshadow.

The Luster blush is a nice golden apricot, imparting a warm glow that will work on most skin tones. For lip color, the Viridiana lipstick is the perfect burgundy shade to carry off the Old Hollywood flair. My favorites are the new Rose Gitane and Bad Education lip glosses - sheer sangria and crimson shades that are just gorgeous. Your lips will be saying 'kiss me!' with these colors.

Another new item to note is the Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Gloss collection. Combining a long-lasting color with a high-shine gloss, these duos create the ultimate sexy pout. Worn separately or together, you can layer the shades to your individual taste. Or get them all to mix and match! The Sandpiper/Daredevil (shimmering amber coral and scarlet red) and the Turkish Delight/Sayonara (pink sorbet, rose petal pink) duos are expecially lovely.
