Second of all the pictures are RUBBISH! I have a brilliant, professorial camera and I can't find the lead to connect to my laptop so I have taken these with my iPhone camera. As the product isn't all that good I figured it would be okay!
So..enough of my whining and onto the review!
I live 20 minutes outside of centre of Edinburgh and this makes certain brands hard to come by, such as Illamasqua (review to come..I am in love with my pure pigment !). Whilst in Selfridges I was checking out the Nars stand and was torn between the eyeshadow duo in Alhambra and this highlighter duo.
All in all I would say this has disappointed me a lot. Normally I like to do a lot of research before I buy something but got a bit caught up in the moment and bought this on a whim and have certainly learned my lesson!
In the shop this looked amazing on my cheeks and I was so excited but when I got back in my car and saw it in the natural light I knew I made a mistake, it just didn't do much. In the pan in the shop it looked super-duper sparkly but at the hotel it looked a bit...blah. I feel really bad for saying this because I love nars but I think there are much better highlighters on the market (mac soft and gentle for example) and this nars one just doesn't cut the mustard. It also smells really strongly like talc, I like the smell of talc but not really in such a high end product.
This duo costs £29, the eyeshadow duo I went in for was £24 and the mac highlighter costs £21.50. All in all I would say go for the mac one, cheaper and better quality
Next post will be positive I promise!
P.S. It's worth noting the last picture with the swatches took AGES and a lot of product to get that good a swatch, but I rubbed my hands together after and I literally couldn't see anything on my hands!
