NARS Rajasthan Eyeshadow Duo Swatches, Photos & Review

NARS Rajasthan NARS Rajasthan Eyeshadow Duo Swatches, Photos & Review

NARS Rajasthan Eyeshadow Duo came out for fall 2010, but I only recently decided it was something I needed for myself.

The color combination of this set isn’t like anything I already own and I had been hearing raves about how nice the texture and pigmentation was.

I headed over to Beauty.com when I had a discount, and purchased it. No regrets!

This fall mark. is releasing six new metallic eye shadow shades to their I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow collection.

They will be sold in a single pan so you can just pop them easily into their “snap to it” palettes (or a Zpalette) for customizable selection.

The shades:

  • Lava
  • Truffle
  • Gold Luxe
  • Sugar Sugar
  • Jazzy
  • Moonshine

These shadows claim to be long-wearing, highly pigmented and easy to blend. Let’s investigate further!

Sephora Reflex Dazzling Violet Ultra Shine Lip Gloss Swatches, Photos & Review

Did you know that Sephora has a line of lip glosses called Ultra Shine Lip Gloss and the color range includes 27 colors? I sure didn’t until recently!

I kind of always overlook the Sephora brand makeup for some reason, heading more towards the names I am very familiar with. However, when I saw the huge display of all these lip glosses, I could not pass up looking.

The Ultra Shine Lip Glosses are super shiny, moisturizing glosses that have “multi-holographic” shimmer in them. Say the word holographic and I am pretty much there. icon smile Sephora Reflex Dazzling Violet Ultra Shine Lip Gloss Swatches, Photos & Review

They also come in three different types of shine:

- Reflex: ultra-opalescent effect for a jewel-like finish
- Shimmering: opalescent effect for an elegant luster
- Shiny: opalescent-free, for a wet-looking effect

The color that STOOD OUT in a big way for me is called Reflex Dazzling Violet. Since I was trying this for the first time, this is the only one I snagged.

Spa Nordstrom in San Francisco

Her 39th birthday was upon her and she was feeling less than excited about it. Getting older really isn’t much fun, she thought to herself as she awoke to her husband saying “Happy birthday”. Then he spoke some intriguing words:

“Do you want to see the itinerary for today?”

“Itinerary? What do you mean, I thought we had brunch in SF at 11:15?”

He smiled, “No, I have a nice surprise planned for you.”

He sat down on the bed and pulled out some papers. She was very surprised when it said “Spa Nordstrom” on it.

“I booked you 2 hours at Spa Nordstrom in San Francisco. This is everything you are having done.” and with that she felt giddy.

The paperwork said “Spa Sampler” which was 2 hours that included a full body exfoliation, massage, vitamin concentrate face mask and collagen eye treatment.

“YAHOO!” (or something) she exclaimed.

He asked “Is that better than brunch?”

She replied “Definitely!”
