I have quite a large collection of NARS products, so I am going to be taking the time to review everything for you. If you are a NARS addict like I am, you'll know there are some hit-and-miss products in their line-up; by posting reviews about what I have, hopefully I can steer NARS newbies and those looking to invest in quality products away from some potentially not-so-great purchases.
Product Brand and Name, Price (CDN), Where Purchased
NARS Eye Shadow Duo in Key Largo, $38.00 CDN @ Sephora.ca
Reason for Purchase
I looooove NARS eye shadows.
Notable Features
NARS eye shadows are pricey; I would strongly recommend that if you are interested in trying out a NARS eye shadow, you pick up a duo instead of a single. The singles are $26.00 each where the duos are $38.00 - that’s only $12.00 dollars price difference for two shades instead of one. It is definitely the better investment!
Packaging
This eye shadow duo comes in a black rubberized mirror-compact, with NARS written in skinny white font on the top. The packaging shows dirt/smudges/oil very easily and is hard to keep clean and looking hygienic.
Experience Using Product
Key Largo is one of NARS’s every day neutral, work friendly duos. It is not flamboyant and super intensely colorful like some of the other duos NARS produces.
The shade on the left of the duo is a satin pale peach with a bit of shimmer, and the shade on right is full-on shimmery bronze with peachy-pink undertones.
The peach shade is my favorite shadow in the duo; it works well as an all-over-lid color and it is impossible to over-do. The bronze shade is the perfect compliment - you can use it as your crease color, liner color and outer v color.
These shades apply like butter. The pigmentation is stellar, and the finely-milled powder that makes up the shadows makes them easy to apply and blend.
The simplicity of this duo is what makes me love it so much. It’s easy to use, and you don’t need to use a whackload of other products with it to create a pretty eye look.
This duo is a great pair of eye shadows to use in the spring and summer. The fact these colors are on the warm side would also make them wearable in the fall.
Would I Re-Purchase, Recommend, or Reject
I would definitely buy this duo again, and I would certainly re-purchase (although, I can’t see myself running out of it anytime soon!).
You can get this duo on the NARS website (unless you are Canadian) or from Sephora; you may also be able to get it from a NARS counter at your local Bay store.
You just might also be able to get this eye shadow duo as part of my 1st Annual Blog Birthday Giveaway, details to be announced July 1st!
