Nars Kalahari Eyeshadow Duo

Hello! Today I'm sharing my review for the Nars eyeshadow Duo in Kalahari. I've wanted one of these shadows duos from Nars ever since I got into makeup a few years ago. Their blushes are my absolute favorite, but their shadows have quite the high price tag- which is why I never picked one up. Getting 20% off at the VIB sale made me justify the price a little more! 

These run for $35 for two shadows. Which is $17-18 a shadow, which is right in between Mac and Urban Decay shadows (single shadows), which isn't too bad but when your using to buying a whole palette of tons of colors for $40-50, $35 for only two is usually a big no no for me. 

Ok price rant aside- let's talk about the beautiful shades in this Kalahari Duo. These are both gorgoues bronze/taupe shades that make for a quick two shade eye look- which is really why I wanted one of these. Sometimes in the morning I don't want to be bothered with a whole palette so I like grabbing this and quickly blending the darker shade in my crease, and using the lighter one on my lid. 

My over all thoughts 

-This was in my November favorites, so I obviously do love this, but I do have some issues with it too. 

-I'll talk about the good first. It's has two gorgoues shades that make for a quick eye look like I said before. They both have shimmer in them, but it's nothing over the top. The colors blend really nice, and the pigmentation is decent. I've also always loved the sleek-ness of Nars packaging. It's always been one of my favorite things about this makeup brand. 

-It's not as buttery as Urban Decay or Lorac Shadows, but the pigmentation is better than some shadows that I've used. I'm going to compare the pigment to Mac shadows, but that is just my opinion. 

-My issue with this duo is the fall out on it is pretty bad. I know it happens, even with the best of shadows, but you all know how annoying that can be. It's  manageable, and I still love the shadows but I just think for how expensive this is there shouldn't be much fall out. 

-I do love this like I said before, but I don't think I would purchase another one of these.

Extras-

I've decided to try to do my 'it's the little things posts' twice a month instead of every Friday instead! I get stressed out if I can't find something good to share and I don't like to half ass posts like that!

-two weeks ago it snowed 10 inches, and now it's 50 degrees and sunny. It will be in the 60s on Sunday! Definitely doesn't feel like Christmas or December lol!!
