Just recieved from Strawberrynet splurge and have not gone a day without using. It is the perfect brow/inner eye and even cheek highlighter - both sides work well but my fav for impact is the yellow-gold side. I would buy again but it seems like this will last me a while, even with constant use, as it is not a whole lid or blending colour. As always love the packaging.

Love, love, love the yellowish gold side. Fantastic for highlighting the eye. I wish you could by this as a single. The pinkish side - I am on the fence for this one, it does not work as well for my colouring. Overall a very good buy though (even though I mostly use matte shades).

I love this duo! One slightly peach, one slightly yellow but very rich and buttery texture. Great coverage (not sheer) and staying power. Perfect for lid, highlight, whatever. I will use this up, no doubt about it.

A highlighter duo consisting of two unique, useful shades that complement every look imaginable. The one a cooler-toned pinkish white, the other a warmer-toned whitish gold, both radiantly shimmery without any trashy glitter and both achieving a very transparent, natural and flattering result. Under the brow I pair them with Benefits high brow pencil as there their highlighting potential is almost too sheer. They both make eyeshadows and eyeliners more interesting and also prolong their staying-power. An every-day-product for me!

i got NARS kilimanjaro duo at a ridiculous sale online -- it was already marked down by about 25%, and then as an added bonus, they had everything marked down by about 50% or so. as a result, i got two NARS eyeshadow dues (each worth $32) and a dual-ended lipgloss for about $30 total. as a result im marking the price down as dirt cheap, but i do know that on its own, this costs quite a bit.


my real reason for getting this duo is that people on the makeup board (as well as reviewers) told me that the more gold-colored side of this is an exact dupe for NARS albatross, which i had been lusting after. and i am happy to report that it is an exact match, at least on my skin. the other color in this duo is a pearly pink that verges on being white. both are excellent for three different purposes: 1) to use as a browbone highlighter, 2) to use as a sheer wash on my eyelids, and 3) to use as a highlighter for cheekbones over a matte blush. the shimmer is very finely-milled, and imparts a lovely glow when applied lightly. the packaging is standard NARS black rubber, and there is a mirror in the compact.


i wont purchase again simply because i wont pay full-price for it, and because i dont see myself running out of it any time soon.

Love these as brow highlighters. You've got two choices depending on your color scheme. One is pinky and one is kinda greenish.

i can't believe i forgot to rate this. i had put this in my swap list for a long time..and thankfully i gave it a 2nd chance and since then i've been wearing it almost everyday and use it as a brow highligther. a definate hg and staple for me. too bad it costs so much $$$..so it would probably take me awhile to get another when this runs out. one side is pinky and the other is yellowish. sort of like a mac grand entrance on one side and the other dreammaker.

I adore this eye shadow combo! I'm usually not a huge fan of NARS shadows, but this one is great, it's extremely veristile i can wear them with almost anything. I mostly use it as a highlighter, since i think thats what it's primarily made for, it doesn't do much if just used alone. I love pairing it with different colors to see the way it almost changes them. I like the pink side, but i find myself using the goldish side a bit more over this summer. Great combo! so easy and convienent. I always get compliments when i use this!

Bought this because Iceland was not available. This is an OK duo. I've used mostly the pale peachy cream shade. It looks very similar to MAC'a Vanilla pigment. It's alright as a highlighter but I'm not over the moon about it. The pale yellow shade is simply annoying. Very chalky and does not blend well. Won't buy again.

I love these shadows. They brighten my eyes and even out the tone on my eyelids. It is extremely expensive but I would buy it again.

NARS duos are very hit or miss. Some are pigmented, some are not. SOme are horrible combinations some are not. Kilimanjaro is too light shades, a shimmery light gold and a shimmery peachy gold. Need a crease shade or just pair with Caravagio or Rated R, or Mogambo. Come in the standard black rubber compact with mirror. Retails for $31.

Another outstanding duo from NARS, especially for warm-toned super pale PPPs (like me!). Francois Nars likes to see some skin on the eye, so he often makes his shades somewhat translucent. In the case of these two shades, the translucent effect is what makes them so desirable.
The left-hand lemony white-gold is super pretty and provides a hit of shine and definition without looking drastically white or yellow or overly golden, due to its slightly sheer quality, which makes this shade utterly wearable for daytime as a lid wash and/or under-brow highlighter. The golden pink shade is also pretty and both pair well with Iceland, my other favourite white pair from NARS.

I've worn this duo alone as well as combined both with Tokyo, Heaven, Sea sex and Sun and with Meditarranee as crease and liner shades and have liked Killimanjaro's versatility. Fabulous! Do check this duo out.

The most versatile brow bone highlighter recommended by the NARS make up artist. Don't be fooled by the dullness of the shadow color, it packs a versatile gold / gray / silver sheen depending on the lighting!

I have asian med tone skin, and the yellow white picks up more. Meanwhile my other friends pick up other colors! Definitely worth the expensiveness!

Everyone must run out and buy this duo right now! Seriously, I'm so glad the artist showed it to me or I would not have even given it a second glance. Best texture ever, one side is a gold white and the other a pink white. Great as a highlighter or a wash, and as a transformer. TIP: Mix the gold side with night porter and you get the most fabulous color ever!

These colors were all too easy to pass up, two shades of white in a sea of typical NARS drama queen colors. The MA gushed, "These are the colors that are so hot now," and promptly brushed Kilimanjaro on my wrist. One white flashes pink, the other flashes lemon gold. I have yet to try them on top of other colors, but I'm sure they're great transformers. They are both stunning when applied wet.

My favorite of all Nars duos. The shimmer is so useful to alter other es colors and pretty on their own. Much more wearable than Iceland, which is greenish and violet-tinged white. Years ago, Dior had a quintet of white shadows like this, with various tints. This one is my favorite.

I love this duo! it's a magical duo which consists of an iridesent shimmery light light gold and an iridesent shimmery light light peach. both colors are highlighter colors, and are incredibly beautiful :) the also seem to be on the white side but it dosn't seem so apparent when i blend them on my lid.:) a great duo to own!
