\nNARS: a brand that has always interested me quite a bit, but somehow I never really bought anything from them.
\nOne of the reasons being is because NARS isn’t sold in the Netherlands, and honestly I think their prices are a little high.
\nHowever, when I saw swatches of this beauty online, I had to have it!
\n
\nHere’s the packaging of the NARS Duo Eyeshadows:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nNARS’ Duo Eyeshadows come in a hard rubber case, with on the back the name of your shadow.
\nAnd on the inside ofcourse the product itself plus a handy, little mirror.<\/p>\n

I really like the packaging. It’s sleek, elegant and the rubber finish gives it an unusual twist – I love that!
\nOne little downside to the rubber finish is that it makes the case dirty in no time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\nNow let’s talk about the actual eyeshadows… WOW!! These are INSANELY gorgeous!
\nWhy has nobody ever told me how great these are?!<\/p>\n

Pigmentation and application of these are seriously one of the best things in life ever.
\nThey apply like butter and blend like a dream.<\/p>\n

I actually had a photoshoot yesterday with mega talented photographer Bianca Toeps<\/a>, <\/em>and I decided to play with my ”Alhambra”
\na bit. I used a mix of the two colors on the lid, and applied the pale rose-gold color onto my model’s inner corners.
\nHere’s a backstage shot I took:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo, What’s the verdict?<\/em>
\nI’m in love! In two days this probably became one of my all time favorite eyeshadows ever.
\nThe colors are very wearable, but at the same time give you that glamour and elegant feel.<\/p>\n

I recommend this to anybody who wants a buttery, mega pigmented, wearable, glamorous everyday eyeshadow.<\/p>\n

The only downside I can think of is it’s price. This NARS Duo Eyeshadows ”Alhambra” retail for $34 USD \/ \u20ac34 EUR<\/em>
\nAnd is available at Sephora.<\/p>\n

For all my European people, Always wanted to order NARS, but didn’t know where?
\nThe French Sephora website(click!<\/em><\/a>) ships all Europe! – This is how I got mine, cool huh? :)<\/p>\n
