Your favorite NARS eyeshadow

Nars/Guy Bourdin in Wishful Thinking is a stunner IMO. The texture is awesome, esp compared to Nars Outremer which is awful, (gorgeous colour too though.)

@v0ltagekid,

I agree with your feelings on the laguna bronzer and also on the flip flop quality. I remember when everyone in Sephora was raving over orgasm and laguna back in 2006. Remembering my stepmother is a makeup hoarder with a tenancy of using products twice and moving them into storage aka 'deepest depth of her closet'. I searched and pulled out a 2007/2008 laguna/orgasm duo. Swatched with the laguna and orgasm in the One Night Stand Palette and big difference between them. The older palettes have a much finer texture with better color payoff and smaller shimmer additive compared to the newest. I really began to notice this mediocre chalk-like texture in the Narsissict Eyeshadow Palette and God created Woman Palette. Nars really needs to straighten up and remedy their chemio-physical production.

This form has very fueled me to do a youtube product review.

I really need find better makeup brands that I need less to bitch about. Maybe Hourglass.

I was sooo soooo disappointed in Outremer.


However I love the Kauai and Kalahari duos

On the pic it is Wishful Thinking, a gorgeous texture :) but I agree Outremer is stiff and difficult to play with. Yes agree too Kauia is a beautiful duo. ( I do not have Kalahari but it sounds great )

I also have it. I purchased when it was launched. I've worn it once with a bronze shadow and slightly added Persia in the crease. Use a light hand as it is super pigmented. I'm sure you know this... Good luck

Just gotta shout out with my new part time job as a marshall's assistant manager, Nars duo Bellisima has been a great everyday look!

I'm starting to wonder about the prices for NARS palettes and eyeshadows. The prices seem to be going up and the quantity is quite small. Maybe it's just me?

Nope it's def not you, I was thinking the same exact thing! They are great quality but I think I can find a high end dupe, that's cheaper when just kinda like a color or if I don't see myself using it a lot.. There are so many other high quality, high end brands that are cheaper

I agree. Speaking of which, the new lipsticks were launched today (All 40 of them..). The price compared to the old ones are a six dollar increase. After a certain point I just have to go, "Why?"

Maybe that would help.

NARS
- single: $3.57 / 0.01 oz
- duo: $2.5 / 0.01 oz
- dual intensity: $5.8 / 0.01 oz
- narsissist: $1.75 / 0.01 oz

Remember that the palettes below include a brush and an eyeshadow base, so the price per 0.01 oz is obviously incorrect.
- smokey eye kit: $4,5 / 0.01 oz BUT brush ($32 if bought seperately) and eyeshadow base included
- god created woman 1: $3.28 / 0.01 oz BUT brush (about $50 if bought seperately, discontinued) and eyeshadow base included
- god created woman 2: $3.28 / 0.01 oz BUT brush ($32 if bought seperately) and eyeshadow base included


MAC/ $3.2 / 0.01 oz


Did you mean to compare with other brands?


Also, don't forget that weight =/= volume. ;)

To answer the topic's question, I have too many favorites, lol.

I love Mekong for a smokey eye. http://instagram.com/p/qfSfd0gzh2/
I love Earth Angel, Habanera and Dogon duos. Earth Angel is seriously underrated.
I'm loving Malacca at the moment. I rarely ever buy cosmetics now because most of my money is spent on necessary useful stuff for everyday life (or sales, lol), but I couldn't resist Malacca and I don't reget it one bit.

Edit:
Adding the Narsissist eye palette, because it's a great value for a nice selection of shades and it's cool for travelling. :)

I love Strada but Wet n Wild's kitten is a great dupe for it. Sugarland duo is pretty but the quality is so so, the purple shade is amazing but the gold shade is chalky and horrible. I wish quality was consistent with all nars eyeshadows.
