June is usually the time when Coffret d’Or releases a new regular series of eyeshadow palettes, but, this year, there will be five limited-edition variations of Beauty Summer Palette in July. Each variation features three eyeshadows and two lip colors, and the slim case resembles the case for Beauty C Curve Eyes from 2010.

My highlights of NARS‘ summer 2016 makeup collection are Dual-Intensity Eyeshadows in 1943 Pool Shark (above) and 1944 Deep End (below) from the Under Cover collection. (The collection follows the brand’s Hot Sand collection for summer 2016.) I particularly like the cool-green tone of 1944 Deep End.

Following the launch of Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow last year, NARS released Dual-Intensity Blush for summer 2015. Six variations are currently available. They can be applied wet or dry, and the brand also released Wet/Dry Blush Brush to go with them. I decided to go for 5501 Panic and 5503 Adoration.

A couple of things stood out for me when I was looking at the initial images of NARS Christopher Kane Neoneutral Collection for summer 2015. Firstly, I liked the neon pink NARS logo with Christopher Kane’s name across it. Secondly, the bold color of Blush in 4056 Starscape looked appealing to me. I stopped by NARS a while ago and thought I would probably only get Starscape, but I gave in and picked up Duo Eyeshadow in 3903 Parallel Universe and Shimmer Eyeshadow in 2095 Outer Limits as well.

Some of NARS‘ blushers have reached cult-classic status, but I haven’t been very interested in them. Many of them are either too warm or too shimmery (or both) for me. However, the new Dual-Intensity Blush for summer 2015 is looking quite promising.
