Hi everyone! Ashes to Ashes ($23 for 0.07 oz) is a medium purplish taupe with noticeable champagne shimmer. Also has a tiny amount of green shimmer that's only noticeable when you inspect it like Inspector Gadget. Well, I'm not saying that I put a magnifying glass up to it, but with my big ass eyes and good lighting I was able to see it. This is a beautiful shadow with the great pigmentation and wonderful texture I'd expect from NARS. This went into my shopping basket faster than I could say "I've fallen and I can't get up."

ReplyDeleteThis is really a lovely shade. I think taupes are growing on me.
ReplyDeleteThis color is so pretty and I love taupe colors in general, I just have a hard time with NARS. I always get so overwhelmed at the NARS counter. I start swatching the colors and then forget which color is which. I only own 3 NARS shadows because of this reason.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome shade, and the pigments look really good. :)

This is a beautiful shade, do you use it as a primary blush or as a highlighter?

ReplyDeleteThat color is really pretty and reminds me of Chanel's Fauve. I think I would really like this color thanks for reviewing it. P.s. I'm following you twice because GFC was acting weird. Sorry, I'm your 100 follower - woohoo!
ReplyDeleteyes mama likes!!! I think taupe is one of few shimmery colors that one can wear to work and get away with it!! not really, but maybe?
ReplyDeleteYou cannot resist taupe! Eventually it gets you, it's its plan.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! You need to take sticky notes with you next time.:P They do have a big selection.:)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it!:)
ReplyDeleteIt's an e/s and I use it as a lid color.:) Taupes don't need much effort.:)
ReplyDeleteLOL!! No no!! I'm not even joking though, they're so big I have so much peripheral vision!
ReplyDeleteIt is perfect for work, not too loud but beautiful.:)
ReplyDeleteI really want Fauve, can't wait for it to come out! Aww you're welcome, glad you liked it! LOL! It's OK! You were just so excited to join.;P YAY 100th! *throws confetti*! Thank you!:)
ReplyDeletelol! Woohoo! Oh its totally work appropriate! Well, as long as it's not a naughty dark taupe. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so different under various lights...a taupe after my own heart! I would buy a whole outfit JUST for this shadow. Is it my eyes or is there a lavender here? Maybe it's my screen.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! You are too funny! And yes you're right, this is a purplish taupe.:)
