Hey Fabulous!
I think everyone around me knows that I’m like a mega NARS
junkie so it’s an understatement to say that I was absolutely excited for the
limited edition Christopher Kane for NARS collection. Christopher Kane, for
those of you who are like “who the hell is he”, is a designer who has a British
based fashion label. He generally likes to use neon’s as neutrals and therefore
neoneutrals were the inspiration behind this makeup line. Although the entire collection
is beautiful, I definitely couldn’t convince myself to be irrational and buy
everything so I settled with just the eyeshadow duo -and this has nothing to do
with the fact that the single eyeshadow in the collection was sold out *guilty
face*-. You can get the Parallel Universe Duo Eyeshadow from any NARS counter
or at Sephora for $40 CAD (before tax). 
This duo obvi has two colours, an “iridescent pink lilac” on
the left and a “soft iridescent violet” on the right. Both shadows are creamy
and glide on wonderfully onto the eye. They come in the classic NARS Duo
Eyeshadow packaging but instead of the standard white “NARS” writing on the
front it’s a hot pink… like OH EM GEE.
I was really excited when I saw the eyeshadows in this
collection because they’re all really sparkly. They’re not necessary the most
pigmented shadows you can find but my life revolves around sparkles and all
things glittery so if you’re like me these shadows are to die for. There are so
many different looks you can do with these shadows and it’s amazing that they
give a different affect in different types of lighting.
My favourite way to wear this duo is as an inner corner
colour or even all over the eyelid because they can brighten up pretty much any
look. When you do apply it however you will notice the crazy fall out. Definitely
use a wet flat shadow brush or your fingers to apply these colours. Another tip
is to use a stickier shadow base, wipe away any fallout and to apply your
foundation after doing your eyes. Also like I mentioned before, they lack in
the pigment department because they are so sparkly. Now you can definitely
layer them and wear them on their own but I like to use a white base or even
just pat them on top of another eyeshadow look for a touch of sparkle. On the bright
side however, these shadows do not crease and if you apply them properly they
are very long lasting.
Overall I would say that this little duo is perfect for
summer and if you’re in the market for something basic and cute but with
pizzazz get your hands on one of these babies before they’re all gone
