The lovely Joanna over at the NARS counter in Harvey Nic's asked me if I wanted to try out some new products and because I'm a complete Make Up novice & don't really know a great deal cosmetics wise, I jumped at the chance!
She did a fantastic job & was an absolute delight to get to know; She has so much knowledge & charisma, it was really lovely, five minutes very quickly turned into an hour!... I love it when that happens.

I'm really impressed with how Joanna's decorated my face and there were two products I couldn't not buy. She also threw in a sample size tinted moisturiser which was amazing...
Joanna tried both these Dual Intensity Eye Shadows on me as I was wanting to try something new. I'm in a bit of a Make Up rut to be honest so this lilac/purple shade really sprung out to me to do something daring & different. I was instantly impressed with how well it brought out my eyes - I have green eyes that kind of get lost in my usual Make Up routine so this made a world of difference! I've now got super green cat like eyes! Woohoo.
This is also the first Eye Shadow I've heard of that can be applied both wet & dry: Using a quick spritz of water on your bush before application creates quite a high impact finish and works especially well when using the Dual Intensity Eye Shadow as a Liner. Equally to create a more sophisticated sheer look you can apply the Eye Shadow as standard with a normal blending brush.
Have you tried anything from the Dual Intensity collection? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for taking a look. Lots of love.
