I think I have found the most amazing palette of 2014. Wow bold statement there! It is the NARS Laser cut palette. The sleep packaging houses three gorgeous Hardwired limited edition eyeshadows, Day Dream blush and the Laguna bronzing powder, all finished off with a bow on top in the form of a mini Dolce Vita lip gloss.
The first eyeshadow is described as a 'perfect neutral vanilla'. It is a light beighe shadow with neutral undertones. It has a matte finish which is nice to use all over the lid. It has a faily good colour payoff, although the texture is quite powdery. The second shadow is describes as 'shimmering cafe au lait'. It is a golden bronze shadow which is rather sparkly and has a metallic finish. This also had really good pigmentation but I found that the shimmer did fall out during application. And finally, the third shade is a 'matte army green'. It is a medium-to-dark olive green with warm undertones. Like the first shade, it is has a matte finish and is good to use in the outer corners and below your eye, to create a slight smokey eye. This one I found to be a lot more powdery than the previous two as well.
The blush is described as a 'flirty sheer pink'. It is a warm pinky-peach bush with a satin finish. It is most definitely a sheer blush, giving a hint of colour when applied, but I feel as though you would be able to build it up to give more colour. The bronzer is the iconic Laguna bronzer. It is a brown powder with a golden shimmer running through it. It has slight yellow undertones which means it adds warmth to your face. And it also goes really well with the blush.
The lip gloss in this palette is a mini version of the Dolce Vita lip gloss which is a sheer dusty rose. It is a a medium-to-dark pinky plum gloss, with subtle warm undertones running through it. I'm not usually one for a gloss, but this one is super wearable as it is really subtle and not sticky either! It also lasts around 4-5 hours too which is amazing!
The thing I love about this palette is the fact that you have everything in one place, so it makes it perfect for travelling, and the sturdy packaging means that it won't get ruined if it's thrown into your bag.
What's your favourite palette?
