The packaging is cute and compact. It's a pretty color but for the price (pricy!) it isn't anything you can't easily find a dupe of and you get very little product. The texture is soft and creamy...

I really, really wanted to love this shadow! Penelope was used on me during a NARS makeup event as a base color underneath the orchid side of Sugarland. It is a very ethereal, glowy...

I think this color must look completely different on me than it does on everyone else. I've got pretty neutral-toned skin, and I don't get any of the pink/lilac/mauve/grey/gold mentioned so far- on...

I had lusted after penelope for almost a year when I finally gave in and ordered it from sephora. In the store it looked like a lavender with pink pearl, but as others have said it is a gray/mauve....

I like cream eyeshadows because I find them quicker to apply and easy to touch up for a student like me. They're also a great way to try new colors. NARS cream shadows are the best I've ever used...

Bummer! I loved the color of this cream shadow in the pan. It's a pinkish/lilacish/goldish irredescent color. However, it is VERY sheer and creases like crazy. For $18 bucks I totally feel ripped...

I like the color of this e/s alot (light pinky gold) it looks very pretty on my brown eyes. The only problem is that it tends to crease but it doesn't bother me that much.

I loved the way this color looked in the case, but I couldn't get it to work on my fair skin. Having much better luck with the Heaven eye duo. This is one of the few Nars products that I haven't...

Penelope is a lovely shimmery light pink-lilac cream eyeshadow. The staying power is so-so for a cream, I find if I use PD Eye Primer underneath it lasts much longer. Looks very pretty all over...
