NARS GUY BOURDIN ONE NIGHT STAND SWATCHES

I am so excited about this palette that I don't where to begin. First, Nars released a similar palette called the Danmari 2 years ago that I kicked myself for not getting. Why? Just like this palette, it contained 4 blushes, one highlighter and a bronzer. The shades included in that palette however were all from their permanent line so if you were already a fan of Nars blushes, chances are you would have already had one or even all 6 of these shades. Now comes the One Night Stand palette. It also comes with 4 blushes, an highlighter and a bronzer. Unlike the Danmari palette, this set comes with 3 new shades, Goulue, Devotee and Mistinguette as well as 3 original shades which are Laguna bronzer, Orgasm blush and Deep Throat Blush. Each Nars blush is 0.16 oz and cost about $32 each. The size of each shade in the One Night Stand is 0.14 oz each and at $68 would mean that for the cost of about 2 full size Nars blushes you are getting 6 shades that are only 12% smaller than their full size blushes.  Steal! The palette is now sold out at Sephora and Sephora.com but can be purchased on Ebay from a number of suppliers for slightly higher than it was in store.

SMASHBOX FULL EXPOSURE REVIEW & SWATCHES

So I'm a little late in posting this but with the holidays in full swing and being the host of Christmas dinner for our family this year, it has been hectic to say the least. Anyhow, the holidays is a time of togetherness and sharing so I think this is one of two palettes that I am the most excited about from the holiday palettes. The first is the Smashbox Full Exposure palette that boasts 7 shimmer shades and 7 matte shades all arranged in a neat, no guess work needed way. This palette is very user friendly as the video below demonstrates and I think it would be a great addition or a stand alone palette. The shadows are extremely versatile, making going from daytime to nighttime very easy. It retails for $58 at Sephora which makes each shadow cost about $4.14 which is more reasonable than even drugstore brands. The palette also comes with a pro size dual ended eyeshadow brush and a deluxe sample of Full Exposure Mascara. 

Colors are swatched over Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer dry. I had absolutely no fallout from the glitter so I would recommend using a eye primer before applying the shadows. To intensify the shimmery/glitter colours, mist brush with water or makeup setting spray
