A DAY AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM

 

A Day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art... wearing my cathedral leggings of course.

Gosh im loving these leggings.  Comfy attention getters!  ohhh yeahhhhh

So I had some vacation time and I decided to do a few things.  Yesterday I went and hung out waiting for the H&M Anna Dello Russo collection to be released yall can check that post out here... ANNA DELLO RUSSO @ H&M

and today I decided to take everyone along on a little trip to check out the Andy Warhol exhibit and wear my NEW TIGHTS. lol... im sorry I know i keep talking about my pants.  I CAN'T HELP IT!

In a previous post,  I swatched and videoed the new Sephora Nars limited edition Andy Warhol collection.  You can check THAT out here  ANDY WARHOL DEBBIE HARRY PALETTE

So i thought since the exhibit is here why not check it out see how and if Nars actually used colors inspired by Warhols' works and the answer is ... YES!

No one to take pics of you? make a tripod with things in your purse

PART 2


I also decided to pick up the lip glosses that come in the can especially since one of my favorite images and or paintings of Andy Warhol is the 100 CAMPBELL'S SOUP CANS. 

This offers 5 small lip glosses.  These are for the most part pink and nude shades.  This retails for 55 US dollars.  The glosses do not have a noticeable scent and are not sticky.

I cant say I liked the applicator though they are far too small to apply the color on smoothly.

Nars Andy Warhol Debbie Harry Eyeshadow Palette

 NARS ANDY WARHOL DEBBIE HARRY PALETTE

Andy Warhol was  a major contributor to the POP ART movement of the 60's.  Pop art images were of popular subjects of the times ie soup cans! 

As an artist, I am very familiar with Warhol, so you can imagine I was very excited to learn Nars was introducing a limited edition Andy Warhol collection. 

This particular palette is the Debbie Harry Palette.  Debbie Harry was the lead singer in the very popular New Wave or Punk Rock band of the 80's known as BLONDIE!

This is an exclusive SEPHORA palette selling for 65 US dollars.  There are 4 eye shadows, one blush and a highlight.  All the shades in this palette are extremely glittery but from what i have read on the sephora website there is a reason for that and i quote "Reinterpreting the glamour and grit of Debbie Harry’s downtown scene, this audacious palette of shimmering shadows and blushes was created exclusively for Sephora. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s use of Diamond Dust, this sultry spectrum sparkles with shimmer and micronized diamond powder."
 
I have to admit the quality of these shades are not the best...
