Beauty in a tick: NARS Eye Paint in Snake Eyes

NARS Snake Eyes

Gambling really isn't my thing.  I experience way too much anxiety when I play Blackjack and besides, I like seeing my hard earned money at work in my closet and my makeup bag.

Intense colours matched with endless possibilities. Line, shade or enhance your peepers with any one of the ten long-wear shades, ranging from matte to shimmer.

Side note: If you're a lover of MAC's Fluidline, then you'll definitely be a fan of NARS Eye Paints as well.

I clicked my heels and was transported to Oz!

Snake Eyes is comprised of an emerald green shimmer set within a black matte base. It's certainly not your basic black liner. The gel formula is feather light, glides on and dries fast. And if you make a mistake, don't fret. I was able to erase my mistakes with makeup removing water and start again.

A hint of green

Crap (thanks for the pun, Scott), NARS is onto something with his Eye Paints (a huge departure IMHO from his pressed eyeshadows).

The Bagful breakdown:

Total amount for NARS Eye Paint:

• $40.00 AUS / $25.00 USD (I purchased Snake Eyes from Nordstrom)

Value for money spent (performance and quality):

• 9 out of 10 bags — thank you for being so easy to use.

Would another purchase be on the horizon?:

• As much as I'm intrigued by the Guy Bourdin collection, I think I'll pass and check out Shanghai Suzy instead.
