NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Surabaya

The other day, I let out a cry to the makeup gods, "Let there be a bounty of makeup this Christmas!" Well, they answered my plea early with a delivery of one NARS Duo Eyeshadow and two NARS Blushes!

The Surabaya eyeshadow duo (not the shades pictured) consists of a brow sugar and a chestnut shade, and Honey, it makes all other eyeshadows look like child's play. The pigments are so extremely rich and smooth, it's practically sinful.

Whether using the two shades together to create exotic warm smoky eyes, or separately as a crease color, the results are picture-perfect. Flecks of golden sparkle, interspersed through these otherwise matte shadows, dance on the eyelids, and are a nice alternative to straight-up shimmery shadow. The shadow stays vivid and true all day, and can also be used wet as a cake-eyeliner.

If on Christmas morning, my stocking is filled with nothing but NARS Duos, I wouldn't be complaining! Tune in Monday to get the low-down on the blushes!
