NARS Spring 2016 Color Collection Nouvelle Vogue.

I love seeing all of the new spring makeup collections because it means that the warmer weather can't be far behind. Even though we haven't had a really touch winter hear, I can't wait for spring and the spring collection really get me excited. The NARS spring color collection, named Nouvelle Vogue, is a pretty one that features a mix of roses and neutrals with a kick of brights in rich textures. It's very resort like and perfect to wear right now.

NARS Nouvelle Vogue contains the following products:

Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow - $29

• Tarvos - Icy Mint
• Cressida - Shimmering midnight blue
• Kari - Soft rose pink

Lip Gloss - $26

• Instant Crash - Soft shimmering apricot
• Vida Loca - Guava

Lipstick - $28

• Rosecliff - Soft rose
• Banned Red - Mulled wine

Duo Eyeshadow - $35

• Hammamet - (L): Matte beige (R): Bronzed rose

Blush - $30

• Impassioned - Pink orchid

The products I have are all pretty neutral, of course. I have the Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow, the Lipstick in Rosecliff and Lip Gloss in Instant Crash and all of them are really me.

The Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow features two shades of shadow, one matte and one shimmery bronze. The matte shade is a nice medium beige tone that looks nice all over the lid. I paired it with NARS' Abyssinia on my brow bone then used the beige shade on the lid. I used the rosey bronze shade from the right side of the compact into the outer corner of my lid and then smudged it into my crease and lower lash line for a romantic smokey look.

Rosecliff Lipstick is the perfect soft rose lipstick. It leaves just a hint of rose, but is like a nude rose with a soft satin finish. I like layering the Instant Crash Lip Gloss over it for sure. Instant Crash is a barely there nude shimmer with a hint of peach to it.

The NARS Nouvelle Vogue Spring Color Collection is available now at narscosmetics.com and in Sephora and all NARS counters in department stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.

Dolce&Gabbana The Essence of Holiday Collection.

Dolce&Gabbana has created an elegantly beautiful makeup collection for the holiday season called The Essence of Holiday Collection. It totally speaks of the season with the antique gold, passionate red and classic black shades. If you are looking for sophistication for yourself or a luxurious gift, these products are for you.

The products include a beautiful Bronzing Powder, Shimmer Powder, Mono Eyeshadow in a choice of 3 shades, Classic Cream Lipstick, Sheer Shine Gloss and Intense Nail Lacquer in a choice of three shades.

I was drawn to the Glow Light Lids, Lips and Nails products from the line up for the light ethereal glow that these products bring on.

I really like The Illuminator Shimmer Powder in Glow Light for this season, which leaves the most beautiful luminous barely there pearlescent golden glow wherever you want it. The Sheer Shine Gloss in Glow Light is a subtle glossy shimmer. You barely see the flecks of gold shimmer in this gloss, it's more like a really glossy topcoat to wear over lipstick where the shimmer adds further dimension to the gloss.  The Intense Nail Lacquer in Glow Light is a beautiful light shimmery nude gold shade. Again, it's very sheer and barely there, perfect as a top coat over a bold shade.
