Maybe it's only recently that I've come across Nars Illuminator, $30, but I'm already on a mission to acquire each and every flattering shade. For summer, Hot Sand lends a peach champagne highlight that's just subtle enough to look like you spent a day at the shore.

Anything But Vanilla
The richly pigmented Nars Eye Paint, $25, is perfect for wearing as creme eyeliner, or a long-lasting option for smoky eyes. Baalbek is a dark chocolate color that will last straight through to fall.

Made You Look
Nars Single Eye Shadow in Malacca, $25, is the prettiest mirage you've ever seen. At first glance it's simply a rich peacock green shade, but look closer and see flecks of iridescent pink shimmer. Be right back; I'm going to go desperately seek out ways to wear this.

On the Horizon
I have this odd habit of feeling like my beauty products/clothing feel bad when I don't wear or use them enough. So I'm going to apologize to all the nail polish I own right now. I'll be wearing this punchy geranium Nars Nail Polish in Libertango, $19, every day this summer.

After the Storm
This Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Lost Coast, $35, combines a soft lilac shade with golden pewter. Somehow, this just works.
There's something about the words 'limited edition' and 'Nars' that when put together, completely throw us into a frenzy. So of course, the new Nars summer makeup collection, Adult Swim, has me lusting after lime green (yes, I said it, lime green) eyeshadow. Adult Swim launches in store April 15, and combines the best of all facets of summer makeup -- pastels, neons, metallics -- and somehow makes it all work together.
