What it is: The Summer 2011 Collection is a range of warm, sophisticated, shimmering shades, punctuated with shots of vivid, nature-defying color. Eyes are washed in icy sea foam, silver-green and frozen turquoise. Lips are infused with mandarin orange gloss and hot pink matte color. The look is finished with nails in bold sunflower yellow or matte opaque white for a modern, edgy effect that’s strictly NARS.

My picks: Trio Eyeshadow ($45) in Cap Ferrat (icy sea foam, silver green, ice turquoise) is so gorg!! This one almost falls into the Too Pretty to Touch category but believe me, I am touching all three colors.

Other picks are: New Order Highlighting Blush ($27) (soft pink with gold and silver shimmer), Lipgloss ($24) in Wonder (shiny, sheer mandarin orange w/pink and gold shimmer) and Pure Matte Lipstick ($24) in Carthage (hot pink). All @ nordstrom.com.

 And if you live in the SoCal area, Monsieur François Nars will be signing his new book Makeup Your Mind; Express Yourself this Saturday, May 14^th at the Nordstrom Topanga from 2 to 4pm. Let me know if you end up going by!
