NARS Pierre Hardy.

There is no denying that some of the NARS designer collaborations are the best. Launching on May 1, there will be a new one and it is a beauty, of course, as they have teamed up with famed shoe and bag designer Pierre Hardy. Take a look at NARS Pierre Hardy.

The collection is bold, but created with a beautiful fresh color palette, inspired by Hardys' Summer 2013 shoe collection. The collection includes six color-forward nail polish pairings (12 shades in all) and two richly-hued blushes.

You have to see the nail polish duos! They come housed in a small shoebox with dust bag, which looks similar to Hardy’s own footwear packaging.

The blush palettes feature a cubic print graphic with shimmering gold overspray on top of the blush.

The NARS Pierre Hardy collection:

Blush - $41.00

• Rotonde - tiger lily
• Boys Don't Cry - pink grapefruit

Nail Polish Duo - $29.00

• Ethno Run - orange & navy
• Sharpliness - peach & burgundy
• Vertebra- coral & dusty rose

The NARS Pierre Hardy collection will be available on May 1, at all NARS locations, including NARS boutiques and online at narscosmetics.com.

NARS Satin Lip Pencil Collection.

I don't know about you, but I am loving all of the new lip products that are in pencil form. The latest in this category, and probably my favorite of them all, is this new beauty just in from NARS. It's the NARS Satin Lip Pencil.

Ultra creamy and full of moisture, NARS founder and creative director François Nars hit it out of the park with these jumbo sized pencils. I love how smooth and easy the color glides onto my lips. It feels like I am not wearing anything, but I am - just beautiful, creamy color.

The creamy color lasts past the usual three hour wear mark. I seem to get at least four hours of a semi-gloss finish from these, with a slight stain to the lips lasting me the rest of the day once the finish wears off. The swatches I did on my arm (pictured below) were still lightly on my arm the next morning after tissuing off and even showering. Now can you see why these are my favorite lip color pencils I've tried?

There are 13 shades in all:

• Het Loo - Cognac
• Floralies - Light Apricot
• Isola Bella - Peach Beige
• Lodhi - Vibrant Coral
• Biscayne Park - Pink Guava
• Rikugien - Rose Pink
• Golshan - Spiced Wine
• Majella - Garnet
• Luxembourg - Vivid Watermelon
• Hyde Park - Cardinal Red
• Palais Royal - Sangria
• Yu - Shocking Pink
• Jardin des Plantes - Fuchsia (boutique exclusive)

Of course my favorites are all in the very wearable neutral tones: Isola Bella, Rikugien and Biscayne Park.

Each NARS Satin Lip Pencil retails for $25.00 and they are available at all NARS locations, Sephora, Nordstrom and online at narscosmetics.com.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer.

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is one of my favorite products. I think it launched last year around this time, and I am on my second tube already. It is just one of those holy grail products that covers my skin and makes it look radiant - just as intended. Well, NARS has a new product that goes right along with it, the Radiant Creamy Concealer. I bet I'll be on my second or maybe even third tube of this one next year at this time too.

This concealer is not just for undereye circles, it is designed to be used anywhere you need a little cover up or evening out too. It is very easy to blend and it's buildable to get custom coverage. Just a dab of the sponge-tipped wand under my eyes and a little blending is all I need for my dark circles. On age spots, I dab and blend and dab and blend, until get the exact coverage I need there.

My favorite thing about this concealer is that it is - like the name implies - very creamy. This means it never cakes or creases or settles into my lines and wrinkles around my eyes.

Another way that I like to use the Radiant Creamy Concealer is to apply it on the tops of my cheekbones as a creamy, no shimmer highlighter. The color that I am using is Vanilla, which is just a tad lighter than my foundation, with a little pink undertone to it. It just makes my cheeks look radiant and pop.

Radiant Creamy Concealer comes in ten shades:

• CHANTILLY: True ivory shade for fairest complexions
• VANILLA: Tiny cast of pink for the fair complexion 
• HONEY: Warm peach tone for light to medium complexion
• CUSTARD: Yellow tone for light to medium complexion
• GINGER: Golden undertone for medium complexion
• BISCUIT: Medium dark natural balance of pink and yellow undertones 
• CARAMEL: Medium dark yellow and golden undertones
• AMANDE: Medium dark with golden olive undertones
• CAFÉ: Dark shade with warm red undertones
• CACAO: Dark shade with deep gold-brown undertones

NARS Lead Stylist Jenny Smith has a how to video where she demonstrates how to perfect your complexion using new Radiant Creamy Concealer and my other new NARS fave, the Light Reflecting Setting Powder (she uses the Loose Powder).

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer retails for $28.00. Pick up it up at NARS counters, Sephora, Nordstrom or online at narscosmetics.com.
