It is no secret that I LOVE…love…LOOOOVE NARS and this holiday season is NO exception. SO many beautiful things to chose from in a variety of price ranges – you can find something for someone special (or yourself!!!)
For Holiday 2011, NARS introduces Modern Kabuki, a collection of specially designed gifts for the ardent makeup aficionado, inspired by François Nars’ travels throughout Japan, his deep interest in Japanese culture, and his fascination with Kabuki makeup. The collection captures the exquisite artistry of Japan’s Kabuki theater. Every detail is a vibrant, modern, iconic interpretation of the centuries-old dramatic form.
