In the fall 2013 NARS released a Guy Bourdin inspired collection. The Beautiful Stranger 7,4 ml mini set in the colors: Dance Dance Dance, Shameless Red, Manosque and Lost Red - is part of the collection.
Normally I love the NARS formula, but these all had goopy tendencies, the two worst were Shameless Red and Manosque.
All are shown in 2 coats without a top coat.
Dance Dance Dance is a beautiful medium purple cream, and the formula was OK in this one.
Shameless Red is red with hints of pink and coral, and unfortunately this formula was truly goopy.
Manosque is a mushroom-brown mauve, and this formula was better than Shameless Red, but far from the normally lovely NARS formula.
Lost Red is a beautiful true red - the formula was OK in this one.
So, what do you think of the Beautiful Stranger set?
The purple one is definitely my favorite!
SvarSletI agree + Lost Red too for me :)
SletPlease kill me Maria :D Love them all they are so beautiful!!!
SvarSletNo I won't, I'll miss you too much :D
SletI love the purple and the mushroom-y one. Too bad about the formula.
SvarSletThey are beautiful, and yes that is so strange...
SletBeautiful colors and swatches! :)
SvarSletThanks a lot Irina!
SletI've never heard anything about NARS polishes but I would have expected the formula to be good - I can't believe how badly Shameless Red applied!
SvarSletWell I can assure it normally is - if it has something to do with the mini bottles to do I wonder, but I cannot see why...
SletI love Dance Dance Dance and Manosque! :-)
SvarSletThey are very pretty!!
SletI love Lost Red sooooo much :)
SvarSletIt is so beautiful indeed :)
Sletthats too bad about the formula Dance Dance Dance is my absolute favorite!
SvarSletLOL it's purple - so I kind of guessed my friend :)
SletAw what a pretty collection :D Too bad the formula wasn't up to par!
SvarSletIt is, and yes, that was a bit of a disappointment!
SletFrom your photos the bad formula is not visible :), I like them all. Maybe the purple slightly more, and I think the mauve looks very good on you!
SvarSletI tried to edit the best I could :)
SletYes, they are really pretty, the purple and the red are my favorites :)
Too bad about the formula! It isn't showing inn your pictures at all!
