new for spring, the NARSissist L’amour Toujours Eyeshadow combination ($59, offered now at NARS shops as well as the NARS website; coming Feb. 1 to NARS counters)
Today I discovered a valuable life lesson from the new $59 NARSissist L’amour Toujours Eyeshadow combination ($59), as well as it was this: ’tis much better to drink the blueberry smoothie — the one you produced yourself as a healthy snack — after you’ve taken photos of yourself using a new eyeshadow palette, as opposed to before.
(Lest you end up with pics of yourself with a blue tongue as well as teeth!)

Just as an FYI, you know, in situation you ever discover yourself in that specific situation.

So, I took L’amour Toujours, a new NARS combination for spring, for a test drive around the block today (well…more like around my condo after I got back from seeing a nutritionist who assured me that I can have “a extremely little amount” of sweets right here as well as there! Life is grand!).
The quick as well as filthy deets…

12 powder shadows, none of which, I believe, have been previously released (but I’ll have to double inspect that). four are mattes, as well as eight are shimmers.
The mattes, as well as the names are numerical, which is a bit tricky, include “I” (which is a sheer cream bisque), “IV” (a semi-sheer black truffle), “VII” (a cool-toned medium brown) as well as “X” (a regal blue).
Of the shimmers, there’s “II” (a shimmery pink sand), “III” (a neutral medium brown), “V” (a shimmery golden beige), “VI” (a shimmery copper), “VII” (a shimmery pistol gray), “IX” (a shimmery grayish blue), “XI” (a shimmery taupe) as well as “XII” (a shimmery blackened licorice).
And some quick very first impressions…
When I popped the matte cool-toned medium brown (VII) in my crease, the shimmery pink sand (II) on my lids, the matte regal blue (X) in the outer corner, the matte black (IV) on my upper lash lines as well as the shimmery pistol gray (VIII) on my lower lash lines, I discovered that the shadows blend together beautifully. I do see a bit after effects with the black shade, though…
Um…Roman numerals for eyeshadow names? That’s extremely confusing for some reason!
So far I like the combination as well as range of warm as well as cool-toned colors. I likewise like exactly how smooth they feel on my skin. They don’t feel heavy or look powdery either. I likewise lake exactly how deep as well as rich most of the shades are, particularly VII, VIII as well as X.
So far, however, I am not crazy about the sheer matte light beige or black, which are sheerer than I’d like, as well as I have to develop them as much as see them in swatches. I likewise feel like I’ve seen a group of colors just like these from NARS before…
Jury’s still out on whether I can suggest this combination with the gusto of a marching band as well as a ticker-tape parade, however it’s nice enough, I guess, as well as I can definitely see myself doing a number of neutral looks with it.
I believe I’ll have to utilize it a few more times to get a much better sense of its value as well as gauge its flexibility.
Now, swatches!
