I love finding great quality makeup at a price that both me and Bank of America can agree on, lol. A few months ago, a trip to my local TJ Maxx yielded this gorgeous six color eyeshadow palette from Nars for a mere $15!
Sometimes cosmetics at discount stores are gross and obviously used and picked over. So I was super lucky to get to this palette while it was still in the box and before some random shopper with NO appreciation for makeup could make a mess of it, lol.
The colors included are:
Himalayas - Looks almost white in the pan, but is actually a light pinky/gold color
Ondine - I don't really know how to describe this color, its like a purply-mauve with lots of gold shimmer in it. Very unique and gorgeous.
Night Flight - Black based rich navy color with some shimmer
Surbaya II - Another one thats hard to describe. Its reddish brown with some shimmer
Bohemian Gold II - A coral-y/gold-y/peach-y color
Kilimanjaro I - Like Himalayas this color also looks white-ish in the pan, but swatches as a beautiful white-gold color.

Some of these are truly unique and like nothing else I have in my collection. So far I've only used Night Flight in a look, but I intend to do looks with each of these very soon!

GREAT bargain! You were lucky to find that palette... I never have such luck. Boo! I will definitely be scouting out a pan of Ondine. That color is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat price for sure. That palette looks nice. :) As I will always say, NARS = LOVE!
ReplyDelete@Tanisa, I love all my Nars makeup so much! I've heard that the quality can be hit and miss sometimes, but so far everything I have has been great quality.
ReplyDelete@Shahada, I never have luck either when I'm looking for a deal, its usually when I'm broke that something fantastic catches my eye, lol. And Ondine is truly a unique color and so worth it if you can find it!
