Like some girls, I tend to be daunted by the
idea of experimenting with eyeshadows. For some reason, I feel that it can make
me look overly done. I have stacks of eye pots and palettes but I always end up
using them for other people. Needless to say, I’m more of an eyeliner-mascara
girl. However, there’s an exception because some eyeshadows are simply too cute
to be resisted like the Nars Alpes-Maritimes-inspired Cap Ferrat Trio Eyeshadow.
It’s a part of the Nars Summer 2011 collection which showcases
sophisticated and bold pigments. The Cap Ferrat is made up of three colors –
icy sea foam, silver green, and icy turquoise. The vivid palette reminds
me of this:

Just when I’ve decided
to purchase the trio palette, I saw this from my stash:

It’s Gosh Trio Eye Shadow in Ocean Drive
I love the Gosh palette because it’s never
messy when applied unlike other powder-formed shadows that become “dusty." What’s best is that Gosh Ocean
Drive
If you’re like me who doesn’t use much
eyeshadow, then it’s okay to settle for an affordable version. I didn’t buy my
Gosh palette though, it’s from my boyfriend’s mom but I checked its price
online and it only costs $12 which poses a great difference with Cap Ferrat’s
$45-price.
I hope to post
pictures of my little blue-green eye experiment and oh, the next time you’re
planning to splurge for makeup, don’t forget to check your stash first because
you might have treasured and fab alternatives!
Nars is
exlusively available at all Rustan's Department Stores while Gosh can be
ordered online.
