When I first saw this on NARS Instagram page, I almost had a heart attack. ANOTHER amazing NARS palette I would have to add to my collection. I told myself that I couldn't purchase it until the Sephora VIB Rouge 20% off sale in November...(ya right!). Ya that lasted for about a month. After seeing it all over Instagram the past month, I finally gave in and decided to purchase it. I seriously have no self control when it comes to NARS or really new makeup in general or limited edition products. So basically I have zero self control. Is there a NARS rehab because if so I seriously need to go..
The NARSissist Dual-Intensity Cheek Palette is a limited edition palette that contains shimmer highlighter, blush and contour shades. From left to right, the shades are Soft Tulle, Damask with Gold Sheen, Peony and Titian. Each shade is 0.08oz. It retails for $59 ($75 value) at Sephora.
It seems like this palette is pretty universal, meaning that you could use it for blush, bronzer, highlight or even eyeshadow. I'm more excited to use the Titian warm brown/gold shade for eyeshadow than bronzer. One thing you'll learn about me if you haven't already is that I LOVE warm gold/brown shades. Actually I love all warm-toned shades in general. I never really use cool-toned shades for eyeshadow.
I usually don't let myself buy a palette unless I like and would use more than half of the colors in the palette, otherwise I just don't think its worth it and would rather buy the shades individually that I'll actually use. So with this palette, I definitely can see myself using all four shades in various ways and really like them all. They are just so pretty and totally my type of colors.
You can apply these shades with a dry or wet brush. The pigmentation quality is great for each of the shades. I swatched them below. C'mon how gorgeous are these shades?! I had such a hard time choosing just a couple photos of this palette since every single one I took was gorgeous #beautybloggerproblems right? It just photographs beautifully!
The packaging of this palette is beautiful, as usual with all NARS products. The only thing I would say that is "bad" about this palette is the smaller size. I expected the palette in general to be larger like their previous cheek palettes. Also I expected the four shades to be more than 0.08oz each. They just look tiny! I'm sure they will last a long time, considering I've used my travel-sized orgasm blush for years now everyday and STILL haven't hit pan somehow.
Overall, I would recommend purchasing this palette if you want a warm-toned shimmery palette for multipurpose use!
