FOTD - NARS Rajasthan Duo Fall 2010
Friday, October 22, 2010
I'm a huge fan of NARS eyeshadows. I love how they have such a wide range of different colours and they're incredibly pigmented. I've actually got a few of the limited edition palettes, one of my faves is the "Pleasures of Paris" which is a staple for my make up collection. I was lucky enough to purchase it online as it was sold out in my local Selfridges.
... And you know me, I'm late for practically everything!
NARS Rajasthan Duo was out in August for the NARS Fall 2010 collection. And yes, I also had to purchase this online because surprise surprise, they were sold out in stores. It always makes me think: do people actually camp out overnight in anticipation of all these exciting releases?
The colours are are absolutely beautiful, and they really do compliment each other perfectly. The gold colour is stunning! It really does remind me of my trip to Rajasthan earlier this year, as it is practically a desert with plenty of towns and cities within it. The shade itself comes across as a metallic taupe brown, looks kind of bronze-ish, and it reminded me of MeMeMe's Blush Me in Bronze, they both look immensely similar. Maybe when I hit pan, I'll use the blusher as an eyeshadow, pow!
The other colour is a deep smokey charcoal with a hint of green to it. This colour was made to be worn in the crease and smoked out! And I do love smokey eyes, I bloody do!

I la la love the intensity of the of the eyeshadows. And the longevity of it (with primer, of course) is superb as you would expect for a high end brand. And priced at £23.00, it is worth every penny.
Did any of you guys buy this duo? Have you found any dupes for it?

I'm totally jealous of your high cheekbones, wow!
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you, I wish I'd have gotten this too. And I love the name!
It's my favourite nars shadow. When I looked at mememe blush I knew it reminded me of something now I know what it is lol. I also use darker colour on lid and the gold to blend it out. X

i love love loveeeee how u do the outer V
ReplyDeletei think it depends on the shadows right ,, mean u dont draw the v with black liner then add the shadows ,, just the shadows right ?
awesome ,, i need to get me some nars eyeshadows
btw i looked at that lipstick u told me about ,, ammm it looks REALLY similar to impassioned ,, i swear =/
the lens filters are affordable ,, not sure how much , but cheap ,, i ordered them over a month ago =D and arrived home ,, but just got them here in dubai a week ago ,, so dont have the link ,,
google them in amazon.com =D
super awesome ,, i dont have the money right now to get a macro lens ,, i mean real one 550$ one ,, plus i dont know which lens i want to get 1st ,, macro ,, wide angle ,, or the zoom =D
so filters are great alternative =D
I love how you have done your eye make-up. you are very pretty
ReplyDeleteLove the makeup.
ReplyDeleteYour eye make up just looks perfect. I really strugle to draw the smooth looking liner with the flick - if you can do a tutorial that would be great!!!
