How do you suggest taking care of them? I need to start taking better care of mine and any advice would help.

@@saku answered beautifully /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I keep the three or four I'm most "into" on my drawer, but there's no direct sunlight in my room since I use those light-blocking shades. My mother keeps hers in a beautiful drawer (she is OBSESSED with fragrances, owns about 200!!) and pulls a few out and scatters them around her house so she can put them on whenever it strikes her.

The biggest thing is to keep them away from direct sunlight, and to never store them where it's humid-  do not keep them in a bathroom where you shower, keep them out of heat, and you should be fine /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is why I like Tom Ford bottles, btw- they completely keep light out.

When I explained to my hubby that the value of either the Black Orchid or the Alien alone far exceed the value of the perfume set as a whole, I was begrudgingly given permission to break my already tenuous no-buy. :lol: Seriously, though, for a sample set that has to be one of the best I've seen.

I need to go look at the men's cologne set and see if that is something that should be stashed away for Christmas...

Okay ladies, get your stones ready to throw at me.... I do NOT like the new Nars audacious lipsticks.  *ducks and covers*

I bought Fanny (deep magenta based plum), and Anna (smokey rose).  

First, the colors.  I liked the color of Fanny, but it only lasted about an hour and a half before it faded to a lighter berry stain.  All I did was eat a peanut butter sandwich and had a glass of water.  It faded evenly, but I expect longer wear before fading to a stain unless it is a glossy formula.  In fact, my YSL candy shine lipsticks have a longer wear time!  Anna looked pretty in blog photos and online swatches, but on my lip color it turned an ugly brown mauve.  Sickly like bruised lips kind of.  It did last longer before fading, but I didn't find it attractive at all.  

I expected better for such hype they've been given.  I actually like the old formula of Nars more.  They ARE opaque in one swipe which is nice, but I need more than that. 

What I hated:  The case.  It isn't just magnetic closure on the cap, the entire case is a magnet.  I don't like magnets sitting in my purse next to my phone and debit card.  There is no point to it anyways.  The cases also are finger print magnets, lol, worse than the original rubberized packaging.  Also, when I was trying to put the cap back on, it wont go on unless it is the right direction (opposite polarity)... the magnets wont let it close unless you're putting the square on in the right place... I don't have time to fiddle with putting the cap on over and over until the magnets line up.  

I'll stick with my Givenchy and YSL and Dior over these.  I wouldn't say these are terrible lipsticks, just not my cup of tea, sadly.

That magnet point is actually really smart and really important to consider. Definitely don't put these near your phone or credit cards, ladies!

wow thanks for the review, I totally expected these to live up to the hype!

A certain lovely enabler had me put in a small Sephora Order yesterday. Mainly because I have never used any of my points and finally the YSL perk had me interested. Got a face primer and universal lip primer (both Sephora, the primer works wonderful for me) and got right to $25 so I also ordered the free mini Kat von D tatoo liner with it, as I like the one I already have. Looing forwrad to get something in the mail again!

A little off topic, but Tarte's holiday sets are out now on tartecosmetics.com! I only got the chic to cheek blush set, but they're all nice! There's a LipSurgence set like always, a brush set, their eyelash curler with pearls on it, a contour palette, and a set that comes with mini maracuja oil, mini C-brightener eye treatment, and a mini cheek stain in really cute packaging. I don't know when they're going to be available at Sephora though  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for the head's up! I will definitely be picking some of these up.

Oooo, loving the brush set.  Thanks for posting!

I managed to get a Black Orchid 3.4oz bottle (for my mom) for $90 and a smaller bottle (1.7 I believe) for $68 the other day at overstock.com. I went to tell everyone here and in the enablers thread, but as soon as I did it was OOS. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I got in just in time. But, the point is, Overstock sometimes has AMAZING deals on perfume... they had 3.5oz Dior Eau Fraiche bottles for $20!

Ahh, lucky! I swear every time I check them they only have like... Calvin Klein Obsession or a huge selection of celebrity fragrances. I'd die to snag a bottle of Dior ANYTHING at that price! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The Superstars and Lash sets are out now.  I am so freaking underwhelmed by both of them!  I was waiting on the Superstars set and lo and behold it's the same things we've received in the past whether it was from promo codes (including FF), point perks, or other sets.  I wish they'd get off the Nars Orgasm kick they seem to endlessly be on.

Hi Ladies,

I started following this thread a couple of days ago and this is my first post here. If you are looking for perfumes right now, you should check out your local costco. They have several pallets of designer perfumes for $49.99. I picked up Tom ford's Black orchid(1.7oz) and D&G's Dolce (2.5oz) last night. I also saw dior's pioson, several Givenchy, versace, Marc jacobs and tons of juicy couture. Hope this helps!

I'm actually liking the inclusion of products like the Brow Wiz, the Chloe rollerball and the Stila liner but why did we have to get NARS orgasm for the millionth time?! That and not knowing if we can pick our shade of the BB cream kinda kills this set for me
