The NARS Andy Warhol Collection

A few weeks ago I went to preview the NARS Andy Warhol collection – NARS’ largest collection—and collaboration—to date, which is launching for Holiday 2012. I thought I was going to have to wait a few more weeks to share the details but because of growing buzz we got the go ahead to reveal all the amazing-ness sooner! The collection is to die – as if the launch of NARS skincare wasn’t exciting enough, it’s near impossible not to want everything in the Andy Warhol lineup.

The collection will launch in two parts – the first part will be Sephora exclusive items that launch Oct. 1 and then a separate lineup for department and specialty stores will be launching Nov. 1.

At Sephora you can expect an ode to Warhol’s Pop Art so think lots of bright colors. Among the items that will be up for sale are a Debbie Harry Cheek and Eye Palette ($65),  Kiss Mini Larger Than Life Lip Gloss Coffret ($55), which features five new lip glosses in a soup-can container with Warhol’s lip print, and Walk on the Wild Side, a $39 set that includes silver illuminator, a mini It nail polish, and a mini Orgasm Larger Than Life lip gloss. The November launches were designed to reflect Warhol’s Silver Factory so expect lots of black and white. Among the buys are a $200 Silver Factory set that includes the Silver Factory Multiple, a new shade; new shades of Shadows Trios; Chelsea Girls Pure Matte Lipstick; Desire Blush; Via Veneto Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner, and a large domed eye shadow brush and blush brush. There’s also a more moderately priced $75 Edie set and a $35 Photo Booth set of mini nail polishes that I’m guessing will sell out in a heartbeat. There are a ton of other products in this collection so make sure to mark your calendar for October 1st!
