Not a big fan of new offerings with intense color payoffs though, because they don't really suit my makeup style.<br />These days I find hard to just commit to one products since I have so many yet I don't like samples, so these mini sized ones are just perfect!<br />I really enjoy Via Veneto since it isn't as intense as UD liners for example but still gets the job done and is very easy to use. I also like Prestige automatic liner in charcoal grey a lot. :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-38504593712570811252015-06-26T15:19:04.761-04:002015-06-26T15:19:04.761-04:00This is truly a fantastic kit :)

Either they will smudge like crazy on my eye lids or they will sting my eyes and make my eyes go red when I wear them on my waterlines :/<br />Via Veneto looks really good though :) <br />xxshortylegsbeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293216097681477318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-62466714150130992362015-06-20T09:15:36.428-04:002015-06-20T09:15:36.428-04:00Via Veneto is a great example of how a black liner...Via Veneto is a great example of how a black liner can satisfy many different needs, imho. I personally do not like really strong black eyeliners with wet finish, but I also want some intensity. After all, I am wearing a black eye liner, you know?<br />It does appear NARS know how to do retractable pencils (Via Veneto is retractable!). They better make this happen otherwise I won't fork my money over for more of them. ;-pLena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-63713860257255237482015-06-20T08:33:29.543-04:002015-06-20T08:33:29.543-04:00Such a fantastic little set!

I've heard so many good things about Via Veneto, but can't bring myself to fork out that much money on a black eyeliner. I do think the lip pencils NARS do are excellent (though I personally haven't loved all the shades I've tried) - they definitely need to make them retractable though! Sharpening is such a pain and wasteful!sleepandwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916100256685023244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-46439747796800467792015-06-15T09:44:29.800-04:002015-06-15T09:44:29.800-04:00Thank you so much, Kristen! :D I think those conta...Thank you so much, Kristen! :D I think those contacts make me look fierce and bitchy at the same time, which is the effect I enjoy wearing colored contacts. LOL.<br />Well, there is no monogamy in this. I think I used to love Sephora and could spend hours swatching and playing with makeup. Now ignorant sales reps (who are busy spraying those display perfumes every 30 minutes and try to suffocate us shoppers) and their not-so-great customer service turns me off. It's good to have options, though! :)Lena Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485496107102256334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-53515881029505463622015-06-15T00:13:32.312-04:002015-06-15T00:13:32.312-04:00Wow!

I loved that you said you're happily going out with Beauty.com and Nordstrom! :) I love Beauty.com, too! And Nordstrom! Plus Nordies carries a lot of brands Sephora doesn't. Though I'm still pretty much BFF with Sephora as I'm a Rouge so I get free 2 day shipping and early access.

The FOTD above is a bit theatrical. I actually swatched a bunch of lippies with those contacts on. You'd have to suffer a few more similars. ;p<br />And I am afraid you are right about the new packaging/new price bit.

I also love wearing this over an emollient balm (like Smith Rosebud Salve). It becomes semi-sheer so my natural lip shade is pronounced more.<br /><br />The truth is, I don't miss Sephora at all.

Good thing I had extras ;) ;) I only tried on Cruella for the first time last week and felt like such an idiot for not listening to everyone about how AWESOME that shade is. I agree, NARS needs to redesign the lip pencils to retractable and non-sharpening. I'm thinking they'll do it sooner rather than later... and then raise the prices by a few dollars, lol.Liz (Beauty Reductionista)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12248806073054637457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943243351869685029.post-29453826292164977352015-06-08T23:37:45.057-04:002015-06-08T23:37:45.057-04:00You wear Rikugien so well, Lena!

I also wish they would make a mini lip pencil set. Wouldn't it be something? ;)<br />Sephora has become a less credible makeup shopping source for me over the years. Having so many competitions especially in the U.S., Sephora seems lackluster.
