Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

I had been coveting this product for a long time so when a few months back I had this epic haul, one of the items that I bought at the NARS stand was the Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base.

I had been using the Urban Decay Primer Potion for a couple years before so I impatiently waited for my last Urban Decay tube to finally be empty so I could try the Nars Primer.

I have just been back from a short trip in which I took advantage of many stores to which I usually do not have access.

As you may guess from the picture above, I visited the MAC Pro store, Sephora, Muji and the airport duty free store.

From MAC Pro store I got some products that I had been eyeing for a while: some eyeshadows, a couple blushes cannisters, sculpt powder, a brush, face and body in white and the fantastic brush canisters.

At Sephora I got my first NARS products, my first setting spray, some Make Up For Ever products and got two samples of the loved/hated Glamglow masks.

At Muji I got the stackable jars that I love to keep pigments in and at the duty free store I got the Essie polishes.
