Late on this summer beauty post yet I am glad I got my hands on these spring/summer editions from Nars Cosmetics. I just got to discover the After Glow Eyeshadow palette and the Afterglow Lip Balms that I had my eyes on for a quite some time. I am a huge fan of Nars Cosmetics beauty products and I find they do it so well with their all beauty products.
Afterglow Eyeshadow Palette
Afterglow Eyeshadow Palette (C$78 for 12 shades) is a limited edition eyeshadow palette that is just beautiful! Its an all warm heated 12 pan eyeshadow palette with a mix of shimmers, metallics and mattes. The pigment is excellent across the board with a very easy to blend texture. The combination of colors are on warm neutral side with a pop of color just to add something extra on this palette, and for me its a WOW palette.
Colors Include:
- First Taste is a pale ivory gold in shimmery finish
- Shadow Hill warm light camel in matte (matte saddle)
- Hot line is tangerine gold in metallic
- Whipped is a nice warm brown in matte finish
- Crushed is a light apricot color in matte finish
- Mad Love is a soft pink in matte
- Push It is a iridescent golden pink color
- Riding High is a warm mauve rose with shimmers
- Bayadere I is a gold bronze with sparkles
- Trouble is a soft pinky coral with shimmers
- Deep Cut is a bright fuchsia with shimmers
- Guayaquil is a bright metallic rust
I absolutely love the combination of colors and mix of texture that gives me that glow vibe just by looking at it. Many of my long time readers know me I love to play with neutrals when it come to eyes. Deep Skin palette from Nars been a favorite of mine for creating a smoky eye look and I think every one would own it. Yet I see this palette at the same form. Its a perfect neutral palette that every one should own to create nice soft looks.
Afterglow Lip Balms
Up next are the Afterglow Lip Balm (C$37.00 each) that are sheer coverage balms that comes now in six new shades with different textures. I got my hands three beautiful colors in Fast Lane, Deep Throat & Wicked Ways. I find they add a nice shine and add light color to the lips. The color is definitely sheer also really depends on how it will show on your natural lip color. The formula it self is incredibly amazing, it literally takes care of your dry lips.
- Fast Lane is a pretty mauve nude
- Deep Throat is a nice pink with shimmers
- Wicked Ways is a mulberry that looks stunning on deeper skin tones
As many of you know me by now I have been a balm kind girl. Yet unfortunately I was missing on Nars formulas. It offers a very supple comfort on lips. The packaging is glorious! very sleek looking with a super nice metallic finish showcasing the color of the balms.
Bottom line, I feel it was not too late to get my hands on this gorgeous collection. I loved the overall color scheme of the palette and balms. Its a palette that really brings the neutral colors to its luxurious looks. The colors are all on warmer side and layers beautifully with each other. If you’re a neutral beauty lover this is a great option. I never get enough of lip balms. I am loving them as much I love my Dior Addict Lip Glow ones. They’re easy to weary and feels buttery on lips.
You can now find all these available at Sephora & Narscosmetics.ca.
