I received this NARS shadow pencil in 'Palladium', a stunning sparkly aquamarine, to preview.

The product glides on gently like the name suggests and the colour payoff is fantastic. This particular shade is not one you'd wear solo, but I'm excited about the whole collection. It's very convenient in its packaging as a product you could tuck in your bag for mid-date touchups.

I needed to use a primer with this pencil to reduce smudging and transfer, but that is true of most products I've tried. Apply a shear layer over a smoky eye look to instantly up the fun factor!

I love this pencil and would buy it again - probably in a different shade though. I don't see myself using this one up very quickly.
