The spring collections are rolling out this month and nothing has excited us like NARS Spring 2008: Shanghai Lily.

Orgasm, a long-time favorite of Makeup Bag, is now available in a multi-purpose stick for eyes, lips, cheeks and body. The lightweight, cream to powder formula of The Multiple makes this universally flattering shade a Makeup Bag must-have.

We’re also super excited to see Dolce Vita in a gloss. The dusty rose lipstick is part of our regular rotation, but we have a feeling it will quickly be outshone by this highly anticipated gloss.

Here’s the rest of the collection:

Eyes:
Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow Metallic rose mist and golden champagne
Abyssinia Single Eyeshadow Delicate Pearl Sheen

Lips:
Success Lipstick Burnt sienna
Manhunt Lipstick Sheer poppy red
Dolce Vita Lip Gloss Dusty rose
Greek Holiday Lip Gloss Sparkling Pink Sand
Belle de Jour Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Nude Beige

Cheeks:
Orgasm The Multiple Peachy Pink with Shimmer

NARS Spring 2008 Shanghai Lily is available beginning this month at NARS counters and online at narscosmetics.com.

Earlier this month we gave you a sneak peek at Bobbi Brown’s Pink Raspberry spring color collection.

Now that we’ve had an opportunity to sample the collection, we’re not sure we’ll need anything else for the entire season.

The neutral Pink Raspberry Face Palette centers around the Pink Raspberry Blush—clearly the star of the collection—and offers just enough “pop” to wake up our simple-but-boring everyday look. (Palette also includes Eye Shadows in Navajo and Fog and Lip Sheers in Raspberry and Blue Raspberry.)

The new Bobbi Brown Lip Crayon is smooth and easy to apply and is longer lasting than we expected—both Pink Raspberry and Wild Raspberry are ultra-flattering on our complexion—but the sleeper hit here at Makeup Bag is the Pink Raspberry Glitter Lip Gloss.

We have never been a fan of the applicator brush on Bobbi Brown’s lip gloss but the brush on this new Pink Raspberry Glitter Lip Gloss seems shorter and less rigid than we remember. The gloss itself is the glossiest, palest pink with flecks of iridescence to make our heart go wild. Paired with a newly tolerable applicator, this will surely be our favorite lipstick-topping gloss of the season.
