Holiday Eye Shadow Palettes

NARS' Wanted Palette Was Infused with Vitamin E and Pomegranate Oil

NARS' wanted palette was released for Cyber Monday, offering consumers bold holiday-inspired hues that can help one transition from running errands, to attending a seasonal office party.

The brand's new shades offer a balance between a laid back look and winter glamour, serving both glistening golds and reds, in addition to matte browns and pinks. Aside from the colors, what sets this product apart is its brand new 2.0 eye shadow formula, which contains both vitamin E and pomegranate seed oil, making for a silky smooth application, and a long-lasting finish.

The shadows are highly pigmented and can be applied without patchiness, making for an all-day wear that requires limited touch-ups. The palette launched online and will continue to be retailed throughout the holidays.
