Nars does it again! A few weeks ago, I spotted and tried this fabulous Nars eye and cheek palette at SpaceN.K. apothecary in Brentwood. This go-anywhere compact has all you need for a day to night look and is perfect for travel. The shades are simply gorgeous and work well on all skin tones too. Included are four eyeshadows plus Orgasm Blush (a cult favorite), and Laguna Bronzer. Here's how to use it:
