I have never been to Paris.

shock horror.
In fact, i’ve never been to france…how weird is that?
Everyone’s been to France!

Anyway, I don’t personally know the Pleasures of Paris, but when scouring the Nars counter last week in Selfridges, i fell in love with the Palette “Pleasures of Paris”


It is gorgeous.
I’ve looked at Nars palettes before & theres always one or two colours i know i would never wear.
But when i saw this one, i loved every single colour.
I restrained myself last week, but when i saw i had more money in my bank than i thought i did, and after i’d been working so hard for my dad, i thought i’d treat myself yesterday in Space NK.

*grins*


Colours in Palette:

Top Row L-R: Nepal, Violetta & Demon Lover
Bottom Row L-R: Fez, Abyssinia & Cordura

Swatches in natural light:

L-R: Nepal, Violetta, Demon Lover, Fez, Abyssinia & Cordura

As i’ve said before, Nars shadows are such good quality. I do prefer them to mac.
The swatches above were done with one swipe.
I also noticed that the matte shades are so creamy to touch. They’re not cream shadows, but the consistency is so smooth.

I heart this palette

P.s. It’s also Limited Edition, so grab it while you can ladies. The Lady in Space NK said it had been flying off the shelves and was really popular.

  22. Lisa

    Goooorgeous colours, I'm adding it to the birthday list! ;) I really want Mekong too after seeing it on a few blogs (including yours obviously!) the dark brown shade in this palette isn't too similar is it? x

  23. Oh Zo, I may just have to buy this!
    I've never been to france either!! We should so do a paris trip, lol!
    Love youuu
    xxxx

  24. Zoella.

    @Lisa – No, I was worried about that too when i saw it, but together and swatched they are both different. Mekong is ALOT darker, whereas the one in this palette is more natural and a little more subtle. :) Love both though. Daytime version and nightime version haha xxxx

  25. Lisa

    Whoop whoop whoop! I'm glad to hear it as I NEED Mekong in my life! Looks perfect for a deep smokey eye <3 Haha you sound like me with your 'justification' lol :P
