REVIEW: NARS Duo in Blade Runner ($34.00)

Blade Runner is describe as a shimmering forest green and a shimmering mahogany which I find is an accurate description. narscosmetics.com site describes them in the following way

 "Modern, unique, sometimes unexpected color combinations of eyeshadow shades. Worn alone or together, all Duo Eyeshadow shades feature micro-fine powders that are highly pigmented, long wearing and crease resistant. Color glides on smoothly, evenly and blends effortlessly. The effects can be subtle or smoldering -- the options are endless.

• “Best Overall Eyeshadow” 2011 InStyle “Best Beauty Buys”
• True color application
• Can be applied dry or with a dampened brush for stronger intensity.
• Multifunction use for shading, lining and highlighting the eyes.
• Classic, neutral, and fashion-forward shade pairings."

These colors are richly pigmented and soft to the touch.  I find that they do match in a unique way as the mahogany goes well on the lid and the forest green in the crease to a part of the lid, but I keep the highlight shade a neutral with no sheen close to the skin tone.  That works for me when wearing it as not to look garish. These also look good as a wash of color on the lid.with either color alone as well, just keep in mind that these are very pigmented.

Okay When I 1st swatched these blushes, I found them to be rather lackluster on my hand, but I discovered otherwise on the cheeks...on to the review...... 1st-Angelic (shimmering champagne): I found that this gave a very soft glow used as a highlighter, it was subtle and finely milled which I feel attributes to the ethereal effect. 2nd-fantastic (soft f fuchsia): Now this one was the least pigmented on my skin tone, maybe it's due to the matte quality of the blush, and as with matte shadows, they require some building which is true for this blush, but one to the desired coverage as I missed it with the Angelic one for a pinky highlighter color. 3rd-magic (pink coral): Magic is my most favorite out of this set as I am a sucker for a coral blush, and this one is of great pigmentation and quality, it is soft to the touch and it is blendable and buildable as well.  It will give you that beautiful radiant natural blush look. Love it! 4th-Stellar (shimmering nude): Now this shade for me was the least favorite for me as it does have a glitter effect which I do not care for it in.  It is not the sheeny glow but rather sparkle glow, which doesn't look natural on anyone.  I f it wasn't for the glitter I would find it to be a very beautiful natural earth tone blush shade. I give this set an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars as I take away one for the glitter quality of Stellar.

Okay

REVIEW: Chanel Eye Shadow Single in #89 Twilight

CHANEL EYESHADOW SINGLE IN #89 TWILIGHT

 This one #89 I have been eying for a while at the Chanel counter.  I finally decided to bite the bullet and slam down my $28.50 and get it.  I must say that although it may be a dupe-able pastel twinkling multi-glittery shadow I love it.  It adds that little something extra when doing subtle eye looks.  

I love wearing this alone on my eye as it is light and easy enough to sheer out to look like a light veil is on the eye with the subtle multi colored glitter twinkling but just pigmented enough for an impact on my complexion. You can dab it on the center of the lid with a lot of looks as I so also to give them more dimension.  I always use a primer before I apply shadows but if you are looking for super pigmented, this is not for you.  It's more for the subtle shadow girl. It was powdery when sweeping the brush on the skin. I rate this 3 out of 5 only because you may want more pigmentation than this offers and texture. Overall I like this one. Swatches Below:
