NARS Soft Touch Shadow Pencils

Hello!

So i just purchased two of Nars soft touch shadow pencils despite the not so great review on Temptalia on the same two shades in 2010 (see here ). I am the type of person that if i really love something i have to at least try it myself and not just go by someone else's opinion.

Here is what the pencil looks like:

 

And a swatch on my hand:

Both colors glide on easily on my skin. There is a little glitter (silver in Palladium, gold in Aigle Noir) but it is not overwhelming. I can tell you Palladium smudges much easier then Aigle Noir, i would not suggest wearing these without a base underneath, and defintely not as an all day color. I have greasy eyelids and I can see both colors wearing off after a couple of hours.

 

These pencils retail for $24 each.

What I'm Fiending For Now: July Edition

Hello Hello, Right now i am trying to be good and not splurge on every little thing that catches my eye, and let me tell you it's soo hard >.

NOTD: Orly Nail Polish in "Snowcone"

Hello hello

Just a quickie post of my first Orly nail polish. i picked the shade "snowcone" because it is such a pretty light pastel blue that is very summery in my mind.

Overall i have to say i LOVE this polish. This was ONE COAT. Yes ONE! Perfect for anyone who is lazy like me and does their nails at last minute (think right before bed). It is a very creamy and easy to apply polish, i am definitely going to pickup more shades and hopefully i get just as good results.
