NARS has teamed up with Sephora to launch a limited edition lip gloss collection inspired by their in-line blushes. The five lip glosses are named: Albatross (Luminous Glow), Angelika (Cotton candy pink with gold and silver sparkle), Oasis (Sparkling pink champagne), Super Orgasm (Peachy pink with gold glitter) and Luster (Sheer Golden Apricot). Each version retails for $24 and will be available starting July 29th exclusively at Sephora and Sephora.com.

NARS will continue to use Amber Valletta as the face of their products in Summer 2010. For those sun-filled afternoons, NARS is also giving you a range of bold colors and bright hues in creamy textures.

François Nars looked for inspiration from the character Sèverine, played by Catherine Deneuve in the iconic film Belle de Jour. “Her character is incredibly beautiful and elegant,” says François. “Her look is effortless—she has an incredible inner sophistication.” The collection is designed to look striking on a wide range of skin tones and let women’s natural beauty shine through. “I designed the makeup to bring a natural-looking glow to the skin, while allowing women to have fun with color. After all, summer is a playful season, nothing should be too complicated!”

You can shop this line on April 15th at NARS counters and www.narscosmetics.com. PIctured below: Burn It Blue Duo Cream Eyeshadow $32, Cayenne Cream Eyeshadow $22 and Coup de Coeur Lip Gloss $24; Lamu Multiple $38 and Love Devotion Lipstick $24; Versailles Nail Polish $16

The latest collection by M.A.C is titled 'Too Fabulous' and indeed it is. The cosmetics range consists of six lip pencils, nine cremesheen glass and six mineralize blush duos & will only be available until May 2010. I love the softness of this color palette. From sheer pinks to neutral browns, this is such a pretty range. 

LIPS AND CHEEKS GET THE PRETTY YOUNG THING TREATMENT…

When we previewed this collection back in January, we couldn't help but gawk at the beautifully crafted packaging.

This is so wrong, but so hilarious! Introducing Urban Decay's Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss ($19)- a definite conversation piece. Each tube of gloss comes with a different man on the cap and when you tilt it,  the man is stripped to his undies. In addition to it's stripshow qualities and sexual implications- the gloss also has lip plumping properties & a brush applicator. Did I mention that all the shades are named after men?

M.A.C. is the only cosmetics brand that can really play with extreme opposite color palettes and make it all relevant. Remember their goth collection just a few short weeks ago? Well, now they're bringing Lilly Pulitzer on board to create a sorbet-colored makeup collaboration going into stores next month. Even though we're still a long way from Spring- these colors are too pretty to resist.  The collection goes on sale on January 7th.
