Don't you just love it when collaborative makeup lines throw you a surprise bonus round? That's just what happened with the recent Sarah Moon x NARS limited edition collaboration, and the new additions will have you scrambling for your phone. The new Sarah Moon x NARS products are only available online, but they're more than worth the snail mail wait time.
In case you're unaware of the collaboration and its origins, Sarah Moon is an infamous French photographer that focuses on ethereal, almost abstract-like melancholic photographs. Her images have a vintage quality that favor flapper-like women, so you can only imagine the Parisians '20s vibes the collection evokes. As an ode to her distinct artistic style, NARS has released a Holiday 2016 Color Collection that's made up of 22 different products that span from nail polishes and eye shadow palettes to fake lashes and lipsticks. The colors range from gun metal grey and smokey silver eye shadows, to crimson red and merlot hued lipsticks, promising to give you a dramatic (and almost cinematic) French look.
Just in case makeup fans everywhere weren't satisfied with that amazing selection, NARS went ahead and threw in a bonus round. The new limited edition pieces from the collab will only be available online at Sephora, and they come at a praise-hands-worthy prices.
The first product is Mind Game Velvet Lip Glide Set, which includes six 0.12 oz liquid lipstick shades in a semi-matte, long-lasting finish.

It features three cult-classic and three limited-edition shades, ranging between deep magenta and subtle rose hues. The specific colors are "Bound" which is a soft magenta, "No. 675" that's a deep peach, "Chez Claude" which is a warm pink, "Unspeakable" which is a reddish pink, "Plato's" which comes in a deep pink, and "Toy" which is a deep plum.
The second product is a cheek and eye palette, and it's just as exciting as the lip kit.
NARS Give In Take Dual-Intensity Eye & Cheek Palette, $69, sephora.com
The Give In Take Dual Intensity Eye & Cheek Palette has everything you'd need to create a look. In one palm-sized palette, you get six wet/dry eye shadows that transition from sheer to saturated depending on how much you layer them, as well as three blushes that can double as highlighters and bronzers. You can also turn the formulas to glide on wet if you add water to your brush, completely changing the look.
