The NARS Happening Palette



Its true, I have a bit of a palette obsession at the moment, If there's a palette out- I want it. You just cant go wring with a good palette- especially if like this NARS one!... it has a combo of eye-shadows a blush AND a bronzer thrown in there too- I mean really girls (and guys) what more do we need! !




The blush- The blush is the NARS all time famous 'Orgasm' and is a full size version too!! Orgasm is a pink-coral shade with a slight shimmer and golden yellow undertones. It is a really pretty wearable color that most people will adore! I like it, I just wouldn't say im in love with it. I don't think its worth quite the hype that it gets- but even still its a lovely blush and it will get a lot of love and uasge im sure. 

Laguna



The Bronzer- The bronzer is another NARS all time favorites- Laguna. Again this bronzer is a full size- making this palette really worth the £45 price tag already. (Laguna itself usually retails at £26 and Orgasm blush at £21.50). Laguna is an olive based bronzer and is lovely lovely lovely... it compliments Orgasm really well as a contour and it will certainly be a re-purchase when I hit pan with this one!





The shadows

This pallete contains 4 shadows

  • Night star (upper right)
  • Gstaad (lower right)
  • Coconut Grove (lower left)
  • Kuala Lampur (upper left)

From left to right- Kuala Lampur, coconut grove, Gstaad, Night star

 Kuala Lampur- this is a gorgeous gorgeous berry purple shade with just enough shimmer. Initially when I got this palette I thought this one be one of my lesser used shadows- but how wrong I was... I use coconut grove on my lower lash line and then apply this to the outer lower lashline and it looks beautiful! Another one I will be repurchasing!

Coconut Grove- A lovely, highly pigmented dark brown- I blend this into the outer corners of my lids for a smokey look and use also as a liner. It a lovely alternative to using blacks- and it blends so well- usually with very dark colors I find they can be a bit of a pain to blend out- but this blends beautifully- this shadow has climbed up to being in my top 5 fave shadows of alltime!

Night star- A golden neutral color with a shimmer- lovely as a highlight! not too much to say about this one- its a nice shadow- but there are many out there for half the price of this that do the job just the same, not so sure I would repurchase this one. 

Gstaad- Taupe with a slight shimmer- this one is extremely wearable and is a limited edition to this palette- I use it quite alot and again it blends lovely. Its a shame this isnt one of NARS permanent collection as I think this would have been on my repurchase list. 

Overall this palette is fabbbbbbbulouss.... Its all I need to pop in my bag for work, and has a lovely good sized mirror on the inside too! As with all NARS packaging the rubber outer case is a bit of a pain in the bum and needs regular cleaning as every fingerprint and particle of dust will stick to it- but its not enough to put me off stocking up on another before they all sell out! Go grab yourselves one its worth the money I promise! :)
