If there is one place I could magically be this Thursday, it would be Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City meeting François Nars.

In celebration of NARS 15th anniversary, François Nars will be making a special personal appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue – signing copies of his books X-Ray and Makeup Your Mind as well as the limited-edition NARS Loves New York Set. X-Ray (1999), the wildly successful photography book and collector’s item, Makeup Your Mind (2001), the ultimate instructional makeup manual featuring the world’s most recognizable models and the NARS Loves New York Set containing an assortment of four classic products resurrected from the archives by François Nars specifically for the women of New York and re-named after iconic names in the city, will be available for sale at the NARS counter during this time.

for me!

Beyoncé looked stunning in her baby blue dress this week at the Billboard Women in Music luncheon where she was honored as Woman of the Year earlier this week.

Beyoncé’s celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez explains her look: “I loved the color of her dress so much so I wanted to mirror the effect that it had against her skin- the NARS Cleo Duo Eyeshadow was perfect.”

The following NARS products were used to achieve her look:

-NARS Sheer Matte Foundation

-NARS Sedona Powder Foundation

-NARS Albatross Highlighting Blush Powder

-NARS Cleo Duo Eyeshadow

-NARS Orgasm/Laguna Blush Duo (one of Beyoncé’s personal favorites)

-NARS Copacabana Multiple

This month NARS introduced two new mascaras to their line and both are larger than life.

“If you’re thinking about seduction, the eyes tell all,” says Francois Nars. With the focus on eyes, NARS created two formulas: lengthening and thickening, to create dramatic, defined lashes.

Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara ($25)

• Adds dramatic length and separation
• Nylon fiber bristles hug lashes
• Conical brush allows lash separation for optimum length

Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara ($25)

• NARS signature “honeycomb” bristles for even distribution
• Square brush coats every lash
• Formula is non-clumping and doesn’t smudge

NARS Larger Than Life Mascaras are available online at NARScosmetics.com.

Summer may be nearing an end, but it looks as though vibrant colors will stay hot through fall.

This collection’s bright, vibrant hues seem to capture the spirited essence of the City by the Bay without missing a beat; the whole set is packaged in a sleek cosmetic bag ideal for travel or the perfect gift.

NARS ‘Loves San Francisco’ Set is available from Nordstrom for $75.
