The Muse’s heart was thumping rather loudly after she seen the new NARS Holiday Collection 2008! She was particularly thrilled with the introduction of the two newest shades of NARS Single Eye Shadow in Night Life and Silent Night. Have you seen them yet? Oh my gosh gorgeous!
Today I’ll be reviewing NARS Single Eye Shadow in Night Life and later this week I’ll bring you a second review of NARS Single Eye Shadow in Silent Night. Excited? The Muse is!
I’m unsure which I love more but I must say that both shadows are outstanding. I used Night Life this morning for simple look and you can honestly get any number of looks using the shadow alone or together with other items in your stash. Night Life is a sparkling metallic silver which is absolute shimmer overload! If you love your shadows full of sparkle, shimmer, and glitter, Night Life should appeal! The texture may be a little bit of a let down considering that this causes major fall out woes. Upon applying you’ll end up with sparkles just about everywhere which is because the formula feels much like a pressed pigment would. Once you swipe your brush across the shadow it kicks up a huge cloud of chunky pieces of sparkle and glitter which in turn cause a major ordeal for application but honestly, when have you ever not run into a problem when applying a shimmering shadow?
Aside from fall out problems I loved the finish of the shadow and highly recommend nabbing it for yourself. The shadow can be used alone to create a metallic, foiled silver eye which pairs up nicely with a black liner (this is how I used it this morning!). Or, better yet, Night Life will be an ideal shadow for creating a smoked eye sparkling eye look that should grab attention this Holiday Season! The silver would be a fantastic base or as a crease shade followed up closely with a matte black shadow to create a rather outstanding smoky eye! Honestly, the possibilities of using this shadow are endless and it’s fast becoming a favorite for the season ahead for me!
If you simply adore sparkling shadows you’ll want to grab NARS Night Life for yourself! The Muse Approves it for purchase and says it’s well worth picking up to add to your NARS Collection!
To create my look this morning I simply used NARS Night Life all over my eye and followed up with liner! Simple, sparkling, gorgeous!
What I used to create my look:
Eyes
NARS Eyeshadow in Night Life
Tony & Tiny Glitter Eyeliner in Black/Silver
Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero
MAC Eyeliner in Black Funk
KATE Gel Mascara
Cheeks
MAC Blush in Pink Swoon
Bare Escentuals Gossamer Diamond Powder
Lips
NARS Lipgloss in Misbehave
How about you?
Anything catch your eye from NARS Holiday Collection?

Looks pretty, but I canīt live with fallout, Iīm much too anal. LOL!
The colors of this FOTD suit you very well, they really brighten your skin and make you look like a porcelain doll! Lovely!
lol…the fallout really makes me cringe…it’s a b*tch to clean up! I love piggies but this is the reason I find I avoid them
But honestly I can’t resist..it’s too lovely a color not to grab
thanks so much! That’s a huge compliment *hugs*
I’m a truly a neutral makeup person sans the sparkly almost always (I say this cause I adore my MSF in So Ceylon – I finally see the sparkling light!lol) but I must say that this look is ethereal. You look like a fairy that’s just be let in from the snowstorm with those red lips and cheeks:)Really like it!
hi paige!
oh no don’t say that
sparkle is a must hehehe!
thank god so ceylon has introduced you to the sparkling goodness in the world
aw thanks so much! What a lovely comment
I must say I adore the look of just pinched cheeks or just out of a cold night looking cheeks
I really love the sparkle from this shadow good stuff
It reminds me of snowflakes when they fall on your eyelashes all glittery like!! Is that weird? =(
Anyhoo, you look SOOOO PRETTY! The eyeshadow combined with misbehave is such a nice combo. It’s glittery and pretty but not over the top. You look like you just came in out of the snow! *makes musey a big cup of hot chocolate*, hehe =)
hiya nosh!
I’d say that sounds gorgeous and accurate
I agree..it does kinda look like snowflakes fell on my lashes and lids 
aw thanks so much *hugs*
hehe I wouldn’t mind a hot cuppa right now it’s kinda brisk out!
Thanks for the awesome comment/compliment!

Hey Izzy,
You totally rocked that eyeshadow! I think this is one of the most gorgeous FOTDs that I’ve seen on your blog, I just love that silvery shimmer on you. The entire look is just perfect. I wish I had glowy skin like yours!
What a striking fotd. I like it juxtaposed with your Px Aglow one – one for night; one for day. LOVERLY.

hi there Vichaya!
Thanks hun
*hugs*
It’s good to see you back and commenting it’s been a while since I talked to you!
Hugs!
hello sungmi!
I’m kinda on the fence about pink swoon. It’s a bit chalky..I’m not fond of the texture/formula. It shows up well enough but you do have to layer it on as it’s not too pigmented
Hope this helps!
hey ann!
absolutely
*hugs*
hey iris!
Hugs!
Thanks lovie
Aw shucks thanks Iris!
My skin is FINALLY improving! The summer is so rough on my skin

I love the cold weather..even though my skin ends up drying out badly it still looks so much better in the cooler weather 
Thanks for the lovely comment!
