I don't own any Nars eye shadows (whether that be in singular/duo/mixed palette form), so I knew that I had to have this palette.
It is more expensive than the Naked Palettes (Naked Palettes have 12 pans, this has 15), however, if calculating each singular pan - the eye shadows come down to £3.50 each, which in this pretty amazing (Nars Duos come down to around £25 each).
The packaging is the usual - black, sleek and rubber. I do like the packaging, yet at the same time it really frustrates me. I hate the instant finger marks that appear on the packaging, however it's nothing a wipe can't solve.
The shadows itself are really creamy and easy to blend. The pigmentation is perfect (not too pigmented/too sheer), however can be built with a spray of Fix +.
The colours in the palette are absolutely gorgeous and perfect for every day wear. They're a lovely set of neutrals that can easily create a soft, smokey eye. I love how there's a combination of matte eye shadows as well as shimmery (note: the shadows do not contain large chunks of glitter, rather they leave a stunning sheeny finish).
I know that I will be getting a lot of use out of this. It's a lovely change from my usual, and I know that this will be a staple when travelling.
