American Dream by NARS

First things first, I love neutral colors and I love palettes. So it was pretty easy for me to decide to buy the new American Dream palette from NARS.


The American Dream Palette contains six eyeshadows and I am pretty sure that you can find all the colors in the permanent line. Some colors are part of duos and others are single eyeshadows. It contains six colors and they are all neutrals and perfect for fall.
This palette is also great if you are new to NARS, like me, and you are interested to try some of their eyeshadows. If you have a collection of NARS already you might want to take a look at your collection to prevent you from buying duplicates.

I only own one single eyeshadow from NARS and that is Lola Lola. This is one of my favorite eyeshadows in my collection so I had high hopes for the American Dream Palette.


I haven't used this palette on my eyes yet but I have made a rather pitiful attempt at photographing swatches of the colors. So far I think they are pigmented especially the shadows on the bottom row. Two shadows seems a little bit grainy and chalky and was harder to swatch and it was the lightest Bellissima (I) and the rose colored Silk Road(II). The others were easy to swatch and Galapagos seems to be the most pigmented.

So far I think that Alahambra (II), Galapagos and Tzarine (II) are going to be my favorites but this might change when I start to use them on my eyes. 

Here is my attempt a photographing swatches. I used Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Eyeshadow Insurance in Eden as a base.


I will try to make some makeup looks using the palette but I have to get rid of my cold first. Because right now I am not feeling my best and my eyes has that watery look that you get when you are sick.
