First of all I think we all need to take a step back and appreciate just how beautiful the packaging is for this Laced with Edge collection I really think they upped the game and created a elegant, modern, seasonal and practical design for the holiday collection. I love that the design is a mixture between broken glass and a snowflake. The palette itself you can feel the quality of the material it doesn't feel flips or cheap at all considering the whole palette was price at £35.
The kit includes
- 3 Limited Edition Hardwired Eyeshadow shades.
- Day Dream Blush.
- Laguna Bronzing Powder.
- Dolce Vita Lip Gloss.
I wanted to talk about the Dolce Vita Lip Gloss first because I have absolutely fell in love with this gloss its texture is rich and cream with a slight tackiness, which personally for me means that the product is going to last longer and not slide all over. The formulation is lovely and moisturising its more like the constancy of a liquid lipstick than a gloss which means that after the glossy finish has worn slightly (by eating or talking) the colour still stays bold and adheres and stains the lips ever so slightly and I would say it did not have scent particularly. The colour is absolutely amazing right up my alley, its a rose cool toned nude perfect for everyday wear. The doe-foot applicator is spongy apply a thin layer of product evenly over the lips. I will definitely be purchasing the full size of this product again and if you are looking for a new everyday lip colour this one is a must have.
My second runner up would be the cult favourite from Nars the Laguna Bronzer it is exactly how everyone explains its the perfect warm toned brown for contouring and warming up the face it has a slight hint of golden shimmer giving your face a subtle glow. Its formula again is smooth, creamy and pigmented which is exactly what you want from a bronzer. It applies beautifully onto the skin and is easily bendable for that flawless finish. I can't say enough good things about this one highly recommend this.
Next up we have the specially formulated shades of Hardwired Eyeshadow's. The texture of these eyeshadows are lovely smooth, silky and well compressed. The colour payoff for the lightest shade is great it has fast become one of my go too shades for a matte highlight, the shimmery gold is on the subtle side unless used with a spritz of fix + on your brush again I think it is a very beautiful colour perfect amount of sparkle for everyday however the darkest shade in the palette lacks a little punch its pigmentation is not a full as the other products this still gives a lovely depth to the eyes and a soft shade of green for a neutral look. After this being the first time I had used Nars eyeshadows I would recommend them but I would swatch a few different ones as it seems they have a mixture of pigmentation.
Finally we come to the last product in the palette the Day Dream Blush, I usually don't go for pink shades of blusher but this one caught my eye and looked fresh and natural so I thought I would give it a go. The texture as with the other products its fantastic although I do find that unless this is applied with a dense brush you don't get much colour payoff I personally don't mind this as I would rather have to layer a product up than have one that is overly pigmented. It does give the cheeks a look of a natural flush and is perfect for the winter as it looks like you have just come in from a brisk walk. I am unsure If I would purchase this product again as I do feel like you could get a very similar product in the drug store for a fraction of the price.
Overall I adore this palette I really wanted something that I could throw in my bag on daily basis that halal the products I need together. This palette is the perfect size for travelling and its structured enough that it would withstand being pushed around in my handbag. I hope that Nars continue to make palettes like these as I would love one for a dark smokey eye and a red lip, plus I'm a sucker for miniature products. :)
