NARS La Paz Review

I love NARS and I most certainly love a berry lipstick. So when I got my hands on this beauty, I was so excited to see the results. 

This purple La Paz lipstick provides you with a Pure Matte finish and what intrigued me most about this lipstick was the added element of sparkle mixed into the formula. I put this on and it was so pigmented, which you'd expect from a more expensive brand.

NARS Afghan Red Lipstick

Having been a fan of NARS for some time now it was about time I got myself a lipstick for all those Christmas events that are soon to come around.

Afghan Red is a gorgeous dark red/plum shade that is perfect as a winter shade for your lips. It has a satin formula and glides onto lips with a rich pigment whilst giving beautiful shine. 

I'm really into my dark lipsticks, so this addition is perfect for my growing collection.

Have you ever had a NARS lipstick?

At First Sight by NARS

The other day at work we got to play around with the new At First Sight palette from NARS.

Creating two looks that you can check out on the HQHair blog ( Lilac Look and Smokey Eye), which I then got to take home to enjoy myself :)

With 4 beautiful eyeshadows accompanied by a blusher and bronzer, this is a real all rounder for making creating looks for everyday an easy task.

Santa Fe Skin

The journey to finding the perfect foundation has been a long, tiring and very disappointing one. Trying everything from the shelves of Boots and Superdrug with little confidence that what I'd just purchased wouldn't make me look like an extra from The Walking Dead. 

But with the help of a job in the beauty industry where I get an education on what's good, bad, new and old I think my quest is over. 

We've all heard of NARS before and my new favourite foundation is the Sheer Matte Foundation in Santa Fe. Described as a medium toned foundation, the formula goes on lightly and provides me with effortless coverage (also a big help from my RealTechniques face brush needs to be noted)

Suiting my skin whether I'm wearing tan or having a bit of time off the brown stuff, this is a foundation I'd recommend to all of you.

They also do a Sheer Glow Foundation which I will be purchasing for the summer when I want something a little lighter for my complexion. 

You can buy this and much more from NARS at HQHair
