The NARS Narsissist Wanted Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette is the NARS take on the warm palette (Naked Heat; Tarte Toasted etc). This can be purchased in Australia from Mecca for $86 AUD (currently out of stock, but keep checking because Mecca will likely restock) or from the United States Sephora for $59 USD.
The palette has twelve shades consisting of five mattes, two sheens and five metallics.
I am a warm tone girl, and have many warm tone palettes. I think this latest addition to my warm tone palette collection was one too many. I like all the shades but I could immediately identify dupes in my other warm tone palettes. The Urban Decay Naked Heat; Tarte Toasted; and Colourpops Give It To Me Straight and Double Entendre palettes all contain similar shades to the Wanted palette…..the shade Fallen Star was probably the most unique shade in the palette.
The pigment in the mattes and sheens were decent and blended well. The issue I had was with the metallic shades, they were so disappointing. As I do with all metallic shades, I applied these with my finger to achieve best opacity, which unfortunately did not occur. They applied as a light wash of colour with visible glitters and lacked the pigment they appeared to have in the pan. Even applied with MAC Fix Plus I didn’t find they were very intense. In my opinion the metallic shades in Colourpop palettes apply better than these. The pink metallic shade Shooting Star was the biggest disappointment as the glitters looked chunky and applied patchy on the lids. To get any decent use from the Metallics I layered on top of another shadow.
This palette is not a bad palette, it is just nothing special. If you have any of the aforementioned warm toned palettes do not waste your money on this palette…..unless you especially want this for your collection.
If your after a new palette I recommend the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam (click for review) or the Viseart Tryst Palette (click for review). Both these palettes are better quality and are cheaper than the Wanted palette…which is always a good thing!
Overall I rate this palette 6/10.

I would love to hear comments about this palettes. I had heard such good reviews on it but it really did not impress me! xxxx

I’m super interested in trying out a NARS eyeshadow palette, but I agree with your review that this palette isn’t all that different from the other warm palettes on the market (and in my personal collection!). It’s going to be a pass for me, as well, until they come out with something more intersting.

This was my first Nars eyeshadow palette and I really did have high hopes. I wish I made the same decision as you and waited for something more interesting! đŸ’•đŸ’•

Now I see the similarity with the other warm palettes that you own. I have a few and will definitely add the colourpop ones that I don’t own, in order to feel better. The four shades in the top right corner and fallen star were the ones that were always on my mind. Thanks for this review. đŸ™‚ I am happy now hehehe.
