NARS "California" Review.

     I hadn't really ventured into the world of Nars eye shadows before this, mostly because of the high price tag. After all, I'm a broke-ass college student that admittedly steals lip gloss from Wal-Mart. However, Sephora recently had two shadows (California and Night Sun) for only $8! I purchased California, which the company describes as a "molten copper".  I passed on Night Sun since it was essentially yellow eyeshadow with gold glitter, which is not my style.

       California is a smooth and highly-pigmented eyeshadow with just the right amount of shimmer.  The color is a bronze color with some red undertones, "copper" is a good way to describe it.  I found it looks beautiful smudged into the crease of the eye.  If you're fair skinned like me, this color works best to accent other colors, opposed to wearing all over the lid because of the red undertones.

My one pet peeve is that not too long after buying it, the shadow broke up in the container.  Obviously, I still use it but it's a little more messy.  I'm not sure if this is characteristic to all Nars shadows, just this color, or if it's just my luck!
