The new NARS Afterglow Eye Palette is already our favourite product of 2020
Hold me.

I don't know about you, but I've had more than enough of these dull, dreary January days... Staying in every night, watching old episodes of The O.C, trying to eat healthy (and don't even get me started on dry Jan). Ugh.
Well, it seems the folks over at NARS Cosmetics have the answer. Yup, they've decided to brighten up our lives with a much-needed injection of colour...
Meet, the Afterglow collection. Featuring an eyeshadow palette that is quite possibly the prettiest thing I've ever clapped eyes on, I mean, just look at it. The shadows are intense (both in colour and pigment pay-off), plus with a mix of matte, satin, shimmer and bold metallic formulas, it’s worth finally making plans to go out-out, just so you can show it off.
Next, there's the cheek palette, which is just as cute, with six face powders, blushers, bronzers and highlighters all included. In a range of matte and glowy finishes - all of which come in NARS' infamous high-quality formula, the palette is perfect for anyone who wants a cheek selection that goes the extra mile.
Finally, if like me, your lips are forever dry, prepare to get a serious crush on the new collection of glowy tinted lip balms. There's a shade to suit everyone, whether you fancy a rosy flush or a pop of cranberry red.
But don't just take my word for it, the whole collection will be available exclusively from narscosmetics.co.uk, NARS boutiques, Cult Beauty & Liberty from 1st February and nationwide from 17th February 2020.
