Bord de Plage
NARS Bord de Plage Highlighting & Bronzing Palette ($59.00 for 0.66 oz.) contains four highlighters and two bronzers. If you’re familiar with spring’s Banc de Sable, then this palette might seem familiar; it has a similar formula and includes one shade from it as well (Rivage). The two bronzers–Laguna and Casino–are still available individually in the Sun Wash formula. The consistency of both the highlighters and bronzers is firmer in the pan with a smoother consistency that doesn’t kickup excess product in the pan but works better with a denser brush. The Sun Wash bronzer formula is designed to be sheerer, so they will work best for someone who wants a buildable bronzer. The highlighters can be used wet or dry with wet (well, damp) application yielding a stronger sheen and slightly more pigmented, depending on the shade. They are entirely usable dry, though, as they’re more pigmented dry than described.
It’s currently a Nordstrom exclusive but will be available August 4th everywhere else.

Rivage
Rivage is a light gold with warm, peachy undertones and a frosted to metallic finish. It was richly pigmented both wet and dry with the wet application yielding a more metallic sheen with a slightly stronger yellow tone. The consistency was firm in the pan but smooth, blendable, and easy to pick up with highlighting brushes. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours dry, eight and a half hours damp.

Crique
Crique is a medium gold with warm, orange undertones and a frosted finish. Applied dry, it had semi-opaque color coverage with a softer, drier texture that seemed to emphasize my skin’s natural texture slightly. Applied damp, it had opaque color coverage and a strong, metallic sheen that also emphasized my skin’s texture a bit. It wore well for eight hours both dry and damp on me.

Laguna
Laguna is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with two to three layers. The texture was firm in the pan, and it did require a denser brush and heavier touch to get product to transfer onto my brush. It wore well for seven and a half hours no me before fading noticeably. It seemed slightly rosier compared to the standalone version I have.

Corniche
Corniche is a light peach with warm undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. Applied dry, it had sheer coverage that was easy to blend out and lasted for seven hours. Applied damp, it had nearly opaque pigmentation with a much stronger, metallic sheen that wore well for eight hours on me. The texture was soft, smooth, and firmer in the pan but was not difficult to pick up with less dense brushes (like a tapered highlighting brush).

Casino
Casino is a medium-dark brown with warm, rosy undertones and a matte finish. It had medium, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin but took a little extra effort to buff and blend out along the edges. The texture was firm in the pan, and it took a dense brush and a heavy hand to get color to transfer onto my brush. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me.
