First off, I would like to apologise for not blogging in a while- been crazy busy the last few weeks with looking after my Mam after her big operation, and I have had lots of job interviews aswell! But I'm back now and plan to blog alot more regularly :)
Losing my Nars virginity has been a very long time coming! I have been lusting after Nars products for years, and for some unknown reason have never got round to purchasing anything. Until now!
There is only one place near me that sells Nars, and thats Space NK in Newcastle. I decided to go for something that I wouldn't normally go for, so avoided all the beautiful blushes, and instead of neutral eyeshadows, I went for this purple one, called Strada.
Nars describes it as 'amethyst infused with gold' and I think thats the perfect description. Upon first inspection it looks quite non-descript, but after swatcing you realise how truly unique this shadow is. Its the most beautiful smoky heather with flecks of shimmering gold running right through it. The consistancy is so buttery soft; it does blend nicely but there is a considerable amount of fallout.
I have been using Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study as a base over the eyelid, and then packing Strada on over the top. It does loose some of its shimmer once applied and blended out, but I've found if you use a slightly wet brush it creates a nice effect.
Nars Strada, £17.00, Space NK
Has anyone got any Nars reccomendations?
