I confess; I don’t have many of these. Hardly any, in fact. My wallet protests vociferously
every time I go on the NARS website and even think of putting anything in my shopping basket. However, I recently
put some cotton wool in my ears, made sure there was a minimum distance of 10
metres between myself and aforementioned wallet and splashed out on an
eyeshadow trio from the new Summer 2012 collection.
Ah, Ramatuelle – how I love thee. Not a first choice for any
cool-skinned gal, but I’m so glad I went for this – the iciness of the silver more than outweighs the warmth of the peach and apricot colours.
The silver and peach are both shimmery, whereas the apricot
is a matte shade and blends beautifully as a crease colour. Normally, Nars +
shimmer = disastrous fall-out, but I am very impressed with these. Even without primer, they stay put for around five or six hours - I can eke it out to eight hours if I put them over my beloved MAC Painterly paintpot.
For the sake of completeness I have also added pics of the
other two NARS eyeshadow sets I currently own (two! How does the make-up addict
in me sleep at night? This frankly pitiful display needs improving, pronto).
Top of the list of potential future additions is the Lhasa single – it looks
like a beguiling combination of lavender and taupe and I MUST OWN IT SOON.
Right, pics.
