NARS Lhasa review

The first I heard of this shade was from reading Meg's blog, Lips So Facto. I absolutely fell in love with the colour and I had to have it, but for some reason whenever I was around a NARS counter it always slipped my mind to look at it in person (although my bank balance was grateful for this memory lapse). I've never really been a big eyeshadow wearer, but when I do decide to wear it I always pick taupes, browns or champagnes. That's what drew me in with this colour; it's fairly understated but the lavender hues made it different enough from anything in my make-up collection to justify purchasing it. 

NARS have described this colour as a lavender grey, and I would say that's an accurate description. There is also some shimmer present, but it is rather subtle so you can easily wear this during the daytime. It's an easy eyeshadow to work with, as the colour goes on a lot sheerer than the other NARS eyeshadows I own. It's also easy to build up, there is very little fall out and it lasts well on the lids with a primer. 

At £17 this isn't the cheapest, but if you're like me and prefer to invest in a few eyeshadows that can be worn during the daytime as well as for evenings out, then I'd definitely recommend taking a look at this when you're near a NARS counter.

P.S. Happy New Year everyone! I hope your 2013 got off to a lovely start. xx
