Uber Chic NARS

Went to the uber-chic NARS 15 year anniversary celebration. As we have carried NARS at bluemercury for 10 years, I was touched to be included. It was probably the chicest event I had ever been to. Francois Nars, an amazing photographer, styled and photographed 15 unique individuals into a special edition book for the anniversary. All of the photographs were exhibited at the event. Each portrait was inspired by an iconic image, person, or emotion, and a classic Nars product. For example, for Amber’s portrait, Nars looked to Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour and treated her lips with his popular sheer beige lipstick. Also included were Daphne Guinness, Isabella Rosselina, Marc Jacobs, Naomi Campbell. The party was over the top – which is what you would expect from a brand that values individuality and creativity. Marc Jacobs wore a skirt, Daphne Guinness looked spectacular, and Francois was himself. I think I was the only non-model, non-celebrity, awed mother of 3 there!

Hi,
I went into your store. Don't get me wrong, I understand this is a business but ALL of the cosmetics contain TOXIC chemicals (parabens, parabens, and more parabens).
Hm, TOXIC beauty.

Thank you for your comment! We have many brands that are paraben-free, natural, and/or organic. Caudalie, Ren, and Jurlique are good brands in these categories. In addition, many of our brands are in the process of removing parabens. If you need assistance finding the right product for you, please feel free to ask any bluemercury staffer! Thank you.
