NARS Calanque Eyeshadow Trio

February 3rd, 2011 by Karen 20 Comments



The NARS Calanque Eyeshadow Trio ($45), from the NARS Spring 2011 collection.

This just popped on my doorstep two seconds ago. What do you think? I’m a neutrals girl, so I’m all over it. 🙂

      No kidding! For that amount the pan should be twice as big, for reals.

    I want! Got a call from my Nordy’s NARS manager and they got them in today. I want a few gloss pencils too. Agree that the price is a bit steep–$35 would be better Francois, eh?

    I’ve been anxiously awaiting this trio and hope to get mine sometime tomorrow! 🙂 I passed on the Okinawa trio (although it is lovely), and was happy when I saw this new one being offered for Spring. Hope to get a lot of use out of it. 🙂

    This looks so pretty! But really I just can’t stop going to the Sephora homepage and staring at Francisco Nars. He’s so beautiful… lol, I’m a crazy.

      I met him in person and he’s very handsome:

      Yeah… I quoted Wind Beneath My Wings (slaps palm on forehead).

        I am so jealous. I can’t believe he’s (probably) 40-something. He looks so young! I would have totally been starstruck, too.

    Calanque looks gorgeous! I was able to swatch it and look at briefly, To me the creme color didn’t seem as pigmented. I am still going to purchase it, you can get a lot of use out of these beautiful neutrals!

    Hi, i’m new to your blog and love it! Anyways, I was wondering… How in the world do you get the shadows to stay so clean? Every time i use calanque, I am a glittery mess (thanks to the lightest shade)
    I am on the fence about returning it. I bought sephoras glitter glue primer to make it work, and i still manage to get fallout. I love the two other shades though. Do you have any recommendations for dupes?

      Hi Shrnarch,

      I start with NARS Pro Prime (it seems to get the shadow to stick better to my lids), then I I buff the glittery shade out with a MAC 217, which seems to mellow out the glitter. Also, I do my eye makeup first — I clean up any excess fallout with a makeup wipe and then apply foundation, concealer, powder, etc.
