Nars Summer Collection: Duo Cream Eyeshadow

I was sent a NARS Duo Cream Eyeshadow Compact in Unconditional Love from the Nars Summer collection to try. Not only were the shades both unique and quite attractive, the shadow itself is very impressive.

This is a cream shadow, but it is quite silky and quickly turns to more of a powder consistency, but with the opacity often seen from a cream. I found that made it easy to apply and blend, while still getting a cream shadow look.

The shadow wears well. It lasted all day for me and I had no issues with creasing. The case is also attractive. In addition, both shades are gorgeous! This one does run a bit on the expensive side though.

Below is a swatch taken in natural light:

Nars has a number of nice items in their summer collection. They can be purchased from a number of online sources, including NarsCosmetics.com.

Review: Nars the Multiple Multi-Purpose Stick

I don’t know why it took me so long to get around to picking up a NARS The Multiple Multi-Purpose Stick in the shade Orgasm. I love stick blushes and I love Nars blushes, so I should have been all over this earlier!

Well, I finally did get one in Orgasm and I do indeed love it. Nars Orgasm blush has always been a great shade for me, but a bit too shimmery for my over 40 tastes. However, the multiple version of it seems less shimmery to me. The general shimmer is still there, but it seems toned down a bit.

As a cream blush, Nars The Multiple blends well and had a good amount of pigment. On the lips, it provides a nice sheer color. Pair it up with Nars Orgasm Lip Gloss (read review) for a double punch of that shade.

M.A.C. Beauty Powder Blush

The M.A.C. Beauty Powder Blush Collection has eight shades of blush, providing something for everyone.

In the usual M.A.C. style, the blush is highly pigmenting, so I found that even with a light apricot shade like Shy Beauty, I needed only a small and well blended amount. Interestingly, I have seen the peachy shade Joyous compared to NARS Orgasm, but I think Shy Beauty is equally close and perhaps a bit more wearable.In any event, if you are in the market for some new shades of blush, take a look at this collection. M.A.C., of course, has many additional blush shades in their permanent collection as well.
