All inked up with no place to go, thanks to these new NARS short-term tattoos ($35 for a set of four sheets).
As far as fake tattoos go…I gotta say, the new NARS short-term tattoos are LEGIT. If you want to get all tatted up to scare your mother or surprise your friends, they’re well worth the $35.

I wore them to brunch last weekend, and the first thing my BFF Cindy said was, “Good gawd, woman! how could you get all inked up without telling me!?”

Ha! Cindy has known me for 25 years (give or take), and she knows that 1) I’m terrified of needles, and 2) I’m one of the last people in the world who would ever get a tattoo (I’m too fickle and would guaranteed change my mind after it’s too late), so the fact that these short-term tats fooled her says something.

It says that these things look real!

They’re still around, by the way, and that’s after three days, during which I had two sweaty workouts and took three showers.

I’m on day four now, and they’re just beginning to look a little long in the tooth (they’re fading and starting to slightly peel), so I’ll probably take them off later tonight.

After what I’m wearing in these pics, I still have quite a few left from the four sheets, but I’m saving them for my next trip home.

My mother is gonna freak out, HAHA!

The NARS short-term tattoos
Joining the short-term tats in the NARS Last resort collection is a new (“air quotes”) bronzer called Tahiti Laguna ($59). “Air quotes” because it’s essentially just good, old golden shimmery tan NARS Laguna, but in a big pan with a tiny Ita brush.

And also a couple of moisturizing charm oils, which I’ve yet to try.

I do love the color of the bronzer (I’m wearing it in these pics to warm up my skin), but in some cases I get a little Laguna overload…

Both the NARS tattoos and Tahiti Laguna Bronzer are available now online and at NARS boutiques and Sephora. They also arrive at NARS counters April 1.
