Is it just me, or does NARS seem to fly under everyone’s radar? Case in point is the Euphoria Collection released for spring 2021 … a collection, I might add, that I actually hadn’t heard much about it landed at my doorstep a few days ago.

New from Dior! Colour Games Summer 2020 Collection

 

 

Once again thanks to COVID-19, Dior’s Color Games Summer 2020 Collection didn’t get to me until recently, but I wanted to share the pieces just the same — mainly because I refuse to let summer go. Inspired by “the playgrounds of summer”, the collection is meant to highlight Dior’s fun & athletic side … but basically, who can resist makeup that looks THIS good?
