NARS Galapagos Eyeshadow & Quick Camera Update!

The last couple of weeks I've felt pretty uninspired on the beauty front and haven't really lusted after much. So a couple of weeks ago when I had £5 at Space NK I decided to pick up an item that I had been delaying for a while. NARS Galapagos (£17) is a rich, warm chocolate brown shot through with gold sparkles. Immediately I was lifted out of my stagnant trance and itching to play with it. For all you neutral lovers out there (A.K.A everyone) this shadow can be incorporated into every look. In the pan it stuns. Swatched dry however, it's disappointing - nonetheless it performs completely different on the eye - in a good way. One can build the intensity so that a touch of gold it visible or sheer it out as a wash of colour/deepen the socket. Whilst using it - I felt as though the sparkles turned into shimmer and its intensity quite easily. Galapagos when wet is very impressive - nonetheless I'm not very experienced with using shadows wet and was nervous as although NARS claims you can use their shadows wet I do not want to spoil the surface of the shadow so instead I load a dry brush with colour and then spray it with Fix or water. If anyone uses these shadows wet or any shadows wet please comment below with technique! NARS Galapagos swatches left to right: Dry, WetEssentially, it's very straightforward. NARS Galapagos cheers me up and I'm more than happy to cross it off my list.Do you have something similar? Any thoughts..?……………………………………………………………..Forgive another quick update, I realise I've been a little inconsistent with my posts lately - this past week I finally decided to buy a camera and after A LOT of research I decided upon the Panasonic Lumix DMC GX1. It's a mirrorless compact system camera which in layman's terms is sort of like a DSLR in a compact form with interchangeable lenses. This camera suits me because I feel it will teach me the art of photography to a good level as well as - plus it is a nice balanced size . Furthermore I can choose between Olympus lenses as well as Panasonic ones. If you didn't already know, up until now I had been using my IPhone for blogging. Image taken from GoogleAt the moment, I'm trying to learn everything I can about photography and how to use my camera to its full potential by watching tutorials and I'm really enjoying DigitalRevTV on Youtube which is like Top Gear with cameras. I've always wanted to immerse myself in photography and now I can so expect some shots soon!How are you all doing?xxx
