NARS Spring 2012 Collection

Here’s the product from the NARS Spring 2012 Collection that I covet (from group shot, above, lower right):

NARS Single Eyeshadow in Lhasa

NARS Single Eyeshadow in Lhasa is described as a “shimmery lavender-gray.”  NARS often names its shades after exotic locales, and Lhasa is particularly evocative for me, as I’ve had the distinct privilege of visiting Tibet.

Shades of purple are more sensuous than grays or browns.  See my eye shadow picks from NARS’s “permanent” collection:

NARS matte eye shadow in New York is a plum brown.

NARS eye shadow in Ashes to Ashes is a “Shimmery violet based brown”
