Hot for Spring NARS New Eyeshadow and Cheek Palette

nars-palette-sadelles

During Fashion Week, NARS hosted an intimate brunch at Sadelle’s in NYC. Stacks of warm bagels, endless carbs and good coffee… I was a happy camper. The two palettes presented at the event, L’amour Toujours Eyeshadow Palette and Cheek Studio Palette have become instant staples. The highlights for me is the blush palette has some new exclusive shades in it just for Sephora (all of the existing shades I already owned) and in the case of the eyeshadow palette it’s my favorite one they have launched in the 10+ years I’ve been purchasing their palettes (I’ve probably owned at least 15…) solely based on the color assortment and perfect mix of mattes and shimmer. Full review and swatches below!

NARS-L'amour-Toujours-Eyeshadow-PaletteNARS-L'amour-Toujours-Eyeshadow-Palette-swatchesL’amour Toujours Eyeshadow Palette ($59): This limited-edition eye shadow palette features 12 new shades in matte and shimmer finishes; four are oversized and eight are standard size. It boasts up to 7 hours of wear although I generally like to touchup after 4 or so. With a primer the timeline is easier to extend. The palette has a great color selection from nudes, browns and blacks with a regal blue — all of which I would use, which is so rare in a palette with this many shades and is a great value with over $300 worth of product.

Cheek Studio Palette ($65): The Sephora exclusive cheek palette features four exclusive blush shades, the iconic Laguna Bronzing Powder, and Paloma Contour Blush. The Paloma Contour Blush Matte is a cream beige / light taupe rose, the Laguna Bronzing Powder is a brown bronzing powder with subtle golden shimmer, Blush I is an icy rose, Blush II is a glittering champagne, Blush III is a shimmering rose peach and Goulue is very similar to the cult-favorite Orgasm blush but less glittery. The all-in-one compact design offers a variety of tones to suit any look unless you have a darker skin complexion and then I’d have to check with my darker tone blogger friends. Overall it’s a great palette to have going into spring/summer.

Also for anyone that has not eaten at Sadelle’s in Soho yet, I highly recommend it!

8 Holiday Eyeshadow Palettes that are Rocking My World

best-holiday-eyeshadow-palettes

Between the holidays and New Years, this is the best time of the year to play with new makeup and eyeshadow palettes. I can’t seem to stop buying and trying new palettes — they are all so pretty! Here are some of my current favorites:

TOO FACED La Petite Maison, $39 ($153 value) – TOO FACED really out did themselves this year on their holiday gift sets. The packaging opens to a Parisian chambre (with views of the Eiffel Tower) and reveals a 12 shade eyeshadow palette and deluxe size of their bestselling Better Than Sex mascara. The palette is lightweight, purse friendly and the perfect mix of matte and sparkles to take you from day to night.

Urban Decay Vice4 ($60) – While we may play it safe for the majority of our makeup looks, it’s always fun to have one palette in your arsenal that pushes the limits and packs a range of bright colors for when you’re feeling more adventurous. This palette features 20 iconic shades from their collection ranging in finishes from buttery-smooth mattes and shimmering metallics to shades laced with micro-glitter. It’s a party in a palette!
