Whenever I'm in the mood for something dark, I tend to reach for this gorgeous black-based green from Nars. I love the jelly-like finish and smooth application.

 I picked up these 2 Nars duos when they were on sale at Sephora for $10 each! I've heard that Nars quality can be hit a miss, so I wasn't expecting too much from these considering the discounted price. But to my delight, they're both really good. Cheyenne is definitely more pigmented than Wicked. The Cheyenne colors also feel creamier and seem to blend a little better. I also happen to like the colors in the Cheyenne duo better. For me they're more wearable and versatile than the greens in the Wicked duo.








I swatched each color on its own, and then on top of Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

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.

I was in the mood for something a little more dramatic today, so I decided to go with blues on my eyes and black on my waterline.
