Nars 12 Days Of Christmas

Here are some fabulous slices from Nars 12 Days of Christmas!
Perfect last minute shopping ideas…

“A great way to go from an office look to a party look is by adding a strong red lip & some mascara. The most beautiful reds are very pure, very bright & have the perfect combination of red & blue undertones – like Red Lizard Lipstick… one of the first lipsticks I created,” says François

“Have fun with color! You can’t go wrong with makeup. And, if you don’t like the look you’ve created, wash it off and try something else! Life is short and you should enjoy it,” says François Nars.

 “For someone on the run, the Multiple is the best product to use. It has a very velvety & transparent texture that makes you look great in under 3 minutes!” says François Nars.

“When in doubt, gift chocolate! I always, always love receiving chocolates, especially from La Maison du Chocolat,” says François Nars

“Blush is one of my favorite products. I think it is because my mother used to be so fond of it. She would never leave the house without it,” says François Nars.

Plum Eyeshadow – Sooo Beautiful!!

I love plum eyeshadow!
Actually, when it comes to makeup, I love plum anything.
Plum comes in many shades, from deep blue-reds to inky almost black tones, and as such is extremely versatile as well as incredibly flattering.

Everyone looks good in plum. It is equally beautiful on pale skins as it is on dark skins.
It makes a deliciously bold statement in smoky sophistication, or can be a barely there subtle nuance. Plum can be the main focus of your look, or a mere accent. Eyes, lips, cheeks all benefit from getting cozy with plum, either worn together or as the one feature on an otherwise neutral face.

No matter what your eye color is, plum will enhance it, whether you’re using a plum shadow, or a purple based liner as an accent.
Instead of doing a smoky eye with blacks or grays try using the moodier, lush plum tones.
Mascaras such as DiorShow Plum and Benefit BADgal Plum give you an instant boost, drawing out your eye color and making the whites of your eyes super white while giving you an ethereal aura.

Quick tips for plum tones

1.)If wearing a plum eyeshadow, opt for one with a slight shimmer or sheen instead of a flat matte. Try Nars Night Rider (soft plum with a silver glitter) or Nars Ondine (plum with gold shimmer). MAC shades Fig, Indian Ink and Vibrant Grape are beautiful variations of plum.
2.) Plum eyeliners such as Julie Hewett Dahlia and FACE Atelier Velours are perfect for everyday wear, or can supercharge an evening look.
3.) Try a cream blush in plum tones. Cream blushes keep the complexion looking alive and vibrant.
Julie Hewett Cheekie cream blush in Vampie is one of the best blushes I’ve ever used.
4.) Choose a plum lip with a blue undertone to make your teeth look super white

Black Orchid, Black Magic

One of the things I love most about this time of year (apart from all the presents, parties and gluttony) is the profusion of truly decadent, dark flowers. My favorite Black Magic roses hit their sultry, mysterious stride, with hues that resonate more depth than at any other time of year.

This season I am feeling the slightly gothic, incredibly deviant lure of the Black Orchid.

 Elusive, sexy, a little bit kinky, a little bit wrong.

Completely alluring.

Sexiest man on earth, Tom Ford is feeling their siren song too.

Ford has released a Limited Edition Black Orchid Collection

which includes a deep plum lipstick and matching nail polish, 

as well as a solid version of his Black Orchid fragrance.

“I created the fragrances using the blackest orchid I could find, and notes that are spicy, slightly peppery and incredibly rich” says Ford who considers the reddish plum lips and nail polish “dark, bold and exotic”.
Which is reason enough to buy them, even without trying them first.
