Nars Eye Duo In Isolde


Can you believe I picked this beaut up in a blog sale? Oh yes! This is my first experience with Nars eye shadows, I'm always lusting after these but unfortunately for me I can never usually justify the £25 price tag, call me tight but I usually have to be pretty boring and prioritise my spending.

When I wear eye shadows I do tend to stick with neutrals and gold’s so Isolde is right up my street. The pigmentation of these shadows is amazing, they are slightly more orange than I was hoping but so I've been using thye paler shade on its own in the day time and if I'm going out in the evening I try to create a smokey look by using the light colour all over the lid and then the darker colour in my crease.

The shadows are so silky and easy to apply, I tend to use mine with an eye shadow primer but to be honest you really don’t need one as the staying power is great.

I love the fact there is a mirror inside the compact for convenience, the only part of the packaging that I'm not thrilled with is the material that it’s made with; it gets so dirty so easy! This is also the case with my Nars blushes.

Apart from that I'm very impressed with Isolde and I can definitely see why it has the hefty price tag. I’d really like to try a more neutral colour too so I need to start doing some research and either get saving or put them on my birthday list!

Isolde, you have a safe place in my make-up bag.

What do you think of Nars Eyeshadows?

  1. This looks so beautiful~ I love NARS products. I'm impressed by both their quality of the product and the amazing packaging. However, like you said, it does get a bit dirty and messy easily too but i find that a quick make-up wipe does the trick and it's all nice and new again. This eye duo is so worth it~ I Love the neutrals too hehe :D

    Thanks for sharing <3
    Have a lovely day

  5. I think I'm the only one who loves the rubberized packaging of NARS, haha! But these colors are gorgeous and remind me of the oranges you see in a sunset! I can't believe someone was willing to part with it! Lucky you! :)
