NARS is bringing serious vacay vibes this season with their new Hot Escape Collection 2025. Inspired by the iconic striped umbrellas of Biarritz, this limited-edition launch has everything you need to glow up for the months ahead: cheek palettes, eyeshadow sticks, lip oil shades, and even a mini bronzer and lip oil duo.
There’s plenty to love, starting with the Hot Escape Cheek Palettes I & II ($66), which come with blush, bronzer, and highlighter shades to mimic that sunkissed flush you’d get from a beach day. The mix of matte and shimmer textures makes it easy to go from subtle glow to all-out summer goddess.
For the eyes, check out the Total Seduction Eyeshadow Sticks ($48). These creamy shimmer sticks come in 8 blendable shades, including cult-faves Orgasm and Laguna. They glide on like a dream and promise no creasing or fallout.
Lips get some love too, with the Afterglow Lip Oil ($42) available in 4 glossy, hydrating shades powered by Raspberry Seed Oil and Pomegranate Extract. And trust us, the Mini Laguna Bronzer & Lip Oil Duo ($45) will come in handy for your travel pouch.
