Nars Andy Warhol Flowers Palette 3


I'm really excited to be talking about this product today, as it was very kindly offered to me as a surprise from Cléments mum last weekend and it's my first ever Nars product! Before I start to waffle on in total excitement, I'll talk about the idea of this product.



This flower palette is one of three in a special limited edition collection inspired by the artist Andy Warhol and his flower prints. The colours of each palette are as follows;


Flower 1 white, pink brown, lavender and dark lavender gray shine. 
Flower 2 white, blue and gray heather bright lavender. 
Flower 3 white, pink champagne, dark brown and lavender-grey shine.



swatches from left to right: lavender/grey, dark brown,  pink champagne, white



I think this is such an amazing idea and it's like having a little Andy Warhol art in your make-up bag! It's so beautifully presented in the Nars rubbered packaging with the classic Nars and Andy Warhol written in silver instead of the usual white lettering. The design is so exact to the prints it really has been done with a lot of attention to detail. On each of the palettes there is a different quote of Andy Warhol engraved onto the mirror, with "All is pretty" on the Flowers 3, it didn't pick up to well in this photo though unfortunately. Inside the silver box there is a little booklet of Andy Warhols art and quotes and a "Get The Look" guide to tell you where each of the shades are applied. There are so many other possible ways to wear these eyeshadows too so let your imagination go wild, this is your palette and you are the artist! 




These shadows are really like nothing I've tried before where blending comes in. They blend together so well on the eye that I enjoyed using them and felt really good wearing this make-up. The colours themselves are just gorgeous, the champagne and purple/grey being my favourites but really they are all gorgeous. The purple/grey shadow really adds something extra to this palette rather than it just being another bronze palette. Overall I would really recommend getting your hands on one of these as they are limited addition in Sephora.

 I will soon post a tutorial on this palette so check back for that! 





See you guys soon!

  3. A beautiful post, how lucky I wish I owned a Nars products. I don't think I could cope with a palette like this though.

    1. Hey Hazel! thank you for your comment :) I know I feel very lucky to get to try this palette out, I think it will be a long wait until I try any other Nars products in the future! I was a little confused when I opened it, I was like "wow this is beautiful but how do I use it?!" But honestly it's not hard at all, and the grey detail fades away once you start to use it so you're left with just purple grey underneath, as you can see from where I smudged it with my finger when I first opened it. After the first time you use it and try these colours it's not as daunting as it seems and it's really enjoyable to use :) I will be doing a tutorial soon to show how easy it is to use it so if you want you can pop back to see how it works.
