Everyone and their mothers seem to be going on and on about the new NARSissist Eyeshadow Palette ($79), and with good reason! This limited edition offering is taking the beauty world by storm with 15 of its most popular shadows housed in the brand's typical sleek, black, rubber packaging. Ranging from pale beiges to dark browns, even including some purples and blues, this palette is the ultimate eyeshadow palette for the ultimate eyeshadow lover.
This palette has gotten quite a few mixed reviews, but I can say that I'm impressed. I've found the shadows to be beautifully pigmented - sheerer than some high-end brands, but I personally prefer that. Let's just say I don't want a bright blue eyeshadow packed on my lids, but a bit of a sheer wash? That's something I could get on board with.
One thing I will say against the palette is how much smaller it is than I expected. Having only ever owned eyeshadow duos from NARS, I was expecting the shadows to be a bit closer to full-sized. The top photo shows a comparison in the size of the NARSissist palette in comparison to the Kalahari duo and the And God Created the Woman Palette. The second photo shows a comparison in the size difference between the NARSissist palette and the eyeshadows between the Kalahari duo.
Yet, at the same time, it's not the worst thing, either. I rarely hit pan on eyeshadows, and I doubt I'll hit pan on more than a few of the shadows in this palette! Even if I did, 14 of the 15 eyeshadows are readily available in duos and singles from NARS, meaning I can easily buy a replacement if the need were to arise.

As you can see, some of the shades are more pigmented than others in the palette, the mattes especially don't swatch as nicely. However, I have found these eyeshadows to overall be very pigmented once applied to the lid. They also blend like a dream, making it easy to achieve a daytime look as well as a smoky eye from this palette.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this palette. However, I would say it's only worth it if you love at least 5 or 6 shadows, as you can buy almost every single shade at any NARS counter.
