NARS And God Created The Woman Palette

i was browsing youtube videos and came across a video that included this palette. i didnt hear much about it so decided to look up some reviews on it. i came across a review by the beauty milk and fell in love. i have zero nars products because they are so damn expensive. i let this product sit in my mind for a few days and finally gave in to this $60 palette that includes a primer and brush. i was surprised when i received this palette that it was about the size of a credit card. after i got over the fact that i just paid $60 for a eye shadow palette with 6 eyeshadows being .03 oz i fell in love all over again.
(swatches & photograph by thebeautymilk)
i swatched it myself and took photographs but the photo didnt turn out well and i decided this photograph showed the swatches perfectly. this pigmentation of these shadows are soft and very pigmented. this palette is a limited edition palette but includes some permanent shades. i fell in love with kalahari which is a bronze taupe color. this palette is a mix between warm and cool colors.

alhambra- a pale champagne color with some shimmer which is perfect for the inner corner & brow bone highlight. you could even use it all over the lid for a light wash of color
bellisima- a matte gray-brown taupe color. this color has a wonderful velvet texture to it that is one of the most versatile shade in the palette. bellisima can be used as a light wash of color all over the lid and or used in the crease for some light definition of the crease for a daytime smokey eye 
kalahari- this is my all time favorite shade in this palette, actually the main reason i bought this palette. its a bronze taupe color. this shade is also pretty versatile, it can be used lightly all over the lid for a day look for smoked out nighttime look
galapagos- a warm brown color with fine gold glitter that barely shows up. a problem i have about this product is it seems like the glitter is only on the top of the product, when swatched it looks like the glitter comes off and because a matte or satin color. of course i haven't gone through the pan yet so i could be wrong. this shade looks beautiful in the outer two third of the lid and into the crease for a smokey look. 
coconut grove- a warm matte dark brown which can be used lightly in the crease for a daytime smokey eye or amped up for a night time smokey look. or even all over the lid and smoked along the bottom lash line for a smokey look in the fall! 
night clubbing- is one of the most unique colors in the palette. it is a black color with what i think is a hint of mossy green with fine gold glitter. along with galapagos i'm nervous that the glitter is only on the top of the product... but only time will tell. this shade will help create a true smokey eye for a night out. i will most likely use it as eyeliner! 

over all i'm super happy with my first nars palette. as i was telling my fellow blogger bailey, everyone needs a nars product. its one of those luxurious product that you should splurge on at least one! but as i told her choose your product wisely, i think limited edition products are the way to go! this palette proves to be packed with pigmentation, soft and easy to blend eyeshadows, and the perfect size to travel with. I feel like this product contains more fall colors rather than summer colors.
