-SPONSORED POST-
Earlier this week something very special dropped in to my hands (thank you Mr Postman). The Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette launched on February 1st and, like most Nars products, I was itching to get my hands on it. Limited edition, with a super slick mirrored casing that houses a variety of eight beautiful dual intensity eyeshadows – sounds good right? (PSSTTTT – if you want one for yourself then keep on reading)
The Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadows are a wonderful creamy consistency and can give a gorgeous sheen when used dry or super metallic finish if applied with a wet brush. They’re long lasting, non creasy (well, not on me anyway) and very pigmented. The shadows in the palette range from peachy pink and subtle shimmery bronze to deep, rich purple and intense black. There’s a little something for everyone, but enough consistency between shades on each row to be able to work for a majority of beauty lovers, whether you love a neutral or bold eye.
The top row is my daily go-to, containing: Europa, Himalia, Ursa Major and Subra. Whilst the bottom row is a cool blue lovers dream with Andromeda, Lysithea, Giove and Sycorax.
The good news for Nars fans is that the price of the palette is £45 – much more affordable than some past Nars palettes and a brilliant saving when you compare to purchasing the individual shadows. It also comes with the specially designed wet/dry eyeshadow brush that was released along with the individual shadows last summer. (It’s a good’un, trust me!)
The even better news is that to celebrate the launch of the palette Nars are running a UK giveaway using facebook via instagram, giving away palettes every day!
From Friday 20th March (TODAY!!!) to Monday 24th March 2015, Nars are encouraging their UK NARSissists to tag their friends in a group photo via instagram and tell them the best part about being a #NARSissist for a chance to win a palette for you and up to five of your friends.

Looks like a nice palette, although not sure about the blue.. I have no idea how to apply that to make it look nice 😀 ♥
It's actually more of a grey when used lightly – so it can work during the day and not look too colourful. I personally like to use it wet and then apply the dark brown over the top, it gives an amazing duo-chrome effect!
I love this palette so much. I got it the other day and I can't stop playing with it

Such a gorgeous looking palette, NARS are always so on point with their packaging, especially for LE items – the price is still a bit of a no-go for me, but as you said, compared to the price of each individual shade it's brilliant.

I'm seeing more and more sponsored posts and ADs. It's getting more difficult to trust your reviews when it seems that you're just an advertiser now. If I just wanted to read ads, well…I can see much better in Vogue or any other magazine.
I put "Sponsored Content" right at the beginning of the post so it shows on most blog reader platforms. I mark all of my social media posts with SP so you can tell there too – if you don't want to read ads – you don't have to 🙂
If a post doesn't say sponsored, then it's not and in all sponsored content my opinions are my own. There shouldn't be any question about my honesty here. I've also reviewed the individual shadows in a non sponsored post too – so feel free to read that if you're having trust issues.
Oh i must add this to my makeup collection, this palette looks lush!
This Palette looks SO nice!! <3 Xx

Hi Suzie, I'd like to ask you to take part in my research that I'm doing for my Master's thesis. It's about what influences the relationship between YouTube Stars and their subscribers. There are only 7 questions and it shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes.
This is the link to the research form: http://goo.gl/forms/tTwUZJ2Ev7 but if you like, I can send you the questions to your e-mail.
Your help will be much appreciated…
Thank You

Nice it's beautiful and dangerous because I gets more obsessed with it every single time I look at it.
My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.com
