The beach at Haleiwa on Oahu’s North Shore
Snorkeling doesn’t bite
I’ve mentioned Shark’s Cove before as a top snorkeling spot here on Oahu. Another, more famous one is Hanauma Bay, but Shark’s Cove is free and easily accessible (there’s a fee to park and visit Hanauma Bay).
The cove gets its name from the shape of the reef as seen from above and NOT because it’s crawling with sharks. 🙂
It’s located right off the side of the road across the street from a grocery store and a snorkeling rental shop, and visiting is as easy as parking the car.
Yesterday El Hub and I spent a few hours tooling around in the water, joining schools of fish and looking for sea turtles (no luck!).
NARS Sandra Eyeshadow Duo

- Multifunction: use as eyeshadow, eyeliner or on eyebrows

I love the Too Faced Lovey Dovey Eyeshadow Duo!
I got a duo from Nars for Christmas, it’s blue and purple and awesome!
Well I guess the only eyeshadow duo I’ve ever purchased is the hip duo, and that’s pretty good. But I much prefer my NARS laguna/orgasm blush duo 🙂
My very first and only duo! a champagne-bronze duo by ZA, 111. it is soooooo silky not to mention its cheap price! 🙂

My favorite is the HIP duo in Sassy.
Looks great for a soft, feminine eye! I’ve never met a Nars duo I haven’t like, but of course, I choose wisely based on reviews.
I don’t own any duos, but I do have a trio! It’s from Clinique and it’s a trio of their colour surge eyeshadows: sugar sugar, south beach and I forgot the other one! But the colors are shimmery white, shimmery nude, and a dark shimmery brown.
I love Sea and Sky mineralize duo by MAC!
Hmmm of all time? That’s hard…
I’ve used the mosth Manhattan magic duo in brown. It’s really usable for everyday and night looks!
Tamara´s last blog post..Review: Balm Balm lip balm
My all time favourite is Magnetic Fields from MAC (Neo Sci Fi collection)
I love my Smashbox Wicked Lovely Duo in Sexy/Demure!
I don’t own any duos, so I can’t pick a favorite. But if MAC’s ‘texture’ and ‘amber lights’ came in a duo, it’d probably be my favorite, because I wear that combo all the time!
My favourite duo is my Mineralize blush duo in Hot Planet. It’s got glitter but just the right amount so as to not turn me into a disco boll 🙂
Happy Saturday! Lovely eye shadow duo giveaway prize drawing. My favorite is the Nars Eye Shadow Duo ~
Portobello Matte Neutral Beige/Matte Warm Beige. I am

Strangely enough my fav duo is from Milani…It’s their Earth duo, they don’t sell it anymore!! The colors were so rich and pigmented, very similar to MAC. I love NARS! Their gloss and lipstick is my fav, so I’d love to try their shadow! Thanks Karen!
NARS Demon Lover
I don’t own any eyeshadow duos….but I would love to try this one by NARS!!
Dior’s “Nude Look” is my go-to natural everyday look!
Oh no. I don’t have any duos, either. Ha! Glad to see I’m not the only one.
I don’t use the glitter stripe in the Word of Mouth Trio for anything other than a pretty divider between the shadows, so can I count that as a duo? If not, can I go throw two singles, Vapour & Dovefeather, in an eyeglasses case & call it a duo? Pretty please?
My Favorite is NARS Scorching Sun 🙂

Loreal hip duo in “wicked”

I don’t have a lot of duos in my arsenal. But I do love Bobbi’s banana with brown stone. I get a lot of attention with that one. I also have a crush on Nars hula hula duo.
My fave is hip in Gunmetal, its got two beautiful colors. One is this steel green that looks gorgeous as smoke instead of black or brown and the other a shimmering emerald
I love, love, love my Pandora eyeshadow duo!
I never leave home without it.

As a couple of other people have said already, the Clinique duo in Like Mink. The lighter color is really pretty for a subtle all over wash, or highlighting!
I would love to start my NARS collection with this duo 🙂
favorite eyeshadow duo of all time— pout’s “miss canada”. absolutely perfect shimmery taupes. Too bad the brand has been discontinued 🙁
kanita´s last blog post..$5,000 SEPHORA SHOPPING SPREE!!!
Hi Karen,
That’s actually really tricky. Not overly original but my favourite’s the Clinique duo in strawberry fudge. I’d usually run a mile from pink eyeshadow but the one in this duo’s really beautiful.
stila summer palette from about 6 years ago. I stocked up on them!
MAC “Fresh Green Mix” Mineralized Eyeshadow 😉
NARS Balthazar for sure.
I really like the L’Oreal HIP eye shadows – the high pigment of MAC but a lot cheaper! My favorite duo is HIP Charisma. Thanks for the giveaway!
Blade Runner, it rocks!
i think i don´t have any duos! Beauty newbie…
I hope this is my first! 🙂
Oh, beautiful!
I love the Cargo eyeshadow duo in “Oregon” — gorgeous olive/khaki greens, and since I went to school in Oregon, I had to have it!
Jeanne´s last blog post..Suiting Up with The Closer
MAC’s Love Connection
I don’t remember you made it but it was a duo of dark grey and light grey.
i don’t have a duo but my favorite combination is mac satin taupe and embark.
i love Nars’ Jolie Poupee eyeshadow duo. The shadows are so pigmented and makes my brown eyes pop! the colors are so pretty, i love it!
I only own one duo and that’s M.A.C.’s Heat Element Mineralized Eye Shadow. It consists of a bronzy color and a rich red cranberry color and looks great over MAC’s Sharkskin Shadestick. It’s a beautiful combo that works very well for blue eyes. It’s also multifunctional and has minimal fall out. I’ve used both shades on my lips with a gloss, also I have used it wet for a foiled look.
The only one I have is by the brand Chambor… pretty bright golds and pinks – looks great with Indian clothes!
A duo from Nars, it is blue and bright green.
Nars Belly Dance. Its this violet purple shade, with this forest green. I totally love it!
My very first one was the Sweet Liason Suite Array Duo from MAC (brown-black loaded with small gold flecks and bronze glitter, and pale yellowish white-gold sprinkled with pale yellow flecks). The texture is very chalky for the white-gold, but the deep brown is extremely pigmented, if not just a tad gritty. Unfortunately, the two colors didn’t complement the other at all 🙁 The next duo I bought was L’Oreal’s Wear Infinite Shadow Duos in Forest. The pale shimmery lime is pretty, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The other color, however, is the most GORGEOUS shade of rich, deep, pigmented shimmery warm forest green I’ve ever seen! It’s even better than MAC Humid. Love!
My absolute favorite e/s duo is NARS mediterreanee, it’s unique & really brings out the blue in my gray-blue eyes. It’s not something everyone else wears; I like the boldness of the sparkly orange e/s and the highlight shade isn’t blah either, it has a lot of depth.
My favorite duo of all time was a GWP from Lancome. I usually don’t like the Lancome GWP’s but this one was an exception. It is called the Exceptional Wear Eye Coulour Duo in Creme Lustre & Pink Veil. Both shadows were full-size pans & I managed to hit pan on both of them which is rare for me. Definitely my all time fave duo!
L’oreal hip duo in flamboyant
L’Oreal HIP Metallic Shadow Duo
clinique in like mink for sure!
my faaave NARS Cordura duo 🙂
My fave duo is Clinique Color Surge in Strawberry Fudge. The two e/s I wear the most together though is Urban Decay Sin and YDK.
My favorite eyeshadow duo is NARS All About Eve.
My favorite duo is Pandora. It has the best black eyeshadow ever!
Alexzandra´s last blog post..Review: Pangea Organics Facial Mask – Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry

This one’s a toughie… I’d have to say MAC’s Team Violets-absolutely gorgeous!!
The only duo I have is Nars hula hula
My fave duo is hip sassy. I went to Shark’s cove a couple of years ago, and me and my daughter were “trapped” in one of the coves with a huge sea turtle!!!! Scary but exhilerating at the same time! Amazing creatures!
Don’t have a favorite duo yet honestly…one day!
My fave is definitely the NARS duo in Cordura.
nars nars jolie poupee is just amazingly beautiful
for drugstore i’d say the l’oreal hip duo in foxy.
higher end is nars duo in south pacific! :]
Maggie´s last blog post..Overdue update! + FOOD and Hello Kitty + POTD (5.20.09)
All About Eve! Most versatile duo ever 🙂
I don’t have a favorite, I haven’t used much e/s duos. 🙁
Hi, Karen. To tell you the truth, I’ve few duos. I’ve purchased trios, palettes, singles, but only few duos. I’m liking L’oreal HIP one with the yellow and the purple. I like how they go on me, so smooth and their color payoff is decent. (although I do prefer lighter colors, these could be a softer color payoff.) Their price is not too bad. And the design is awesome! 🙂
My favorite duo would be the Clinique eyeshadow duo in strawberry fudge. The pink is a nice light flush of color while the brown shade is the perfect neutral crease shade. Perfect for my teaching job!
Definitely NARS duo in Jolie Poupée!
Have never owned any eyeshadow duos before!
NARS Joliee Poupee- i love purple
Shiseido Taffeta Taupe and I recommend it for all medium skin brunettes.
My favorite eye shadow duo is actually by Nars. It’s the color Cheyenne, which is like a gold and purple color. Love it!
lovin the clinique giveaway shadow duo in sunburst
I like NARS Jolie Poupee.
i have to try this…Nars…
probably have to say Play on Plums by MAC
The only duos I have are all HIP as I own more mineral pigments than pressed shadows. I like Magnetic from the metallic group
I love NARS duo in Brazil. Two incredibly wearable shades for my pale complexion.
My all-time favorite eye shadow duo is Clinique Like Mink. When I don’t have time to figure out which shadow to wear, this one always works for me!!!
NARS Kalahari. It’s sooooooo wonderful and pigmented and brings out the brown in my eyes beautifully! I heart it!
I can’t say I have a specifc fav e/s duo, even though I do own some Stila ones. But anyway I would day my fav e/s combo 😛 currently is MAC all that glitters and UD Oil Slick.
Don’t have many duos, but my favorite so far is NARS Blade Runner for a retro-futuristic smokey eye (one of my favorite movies too!)NARS is great at coming up with combos that are perfect and unexpected.
Ha…I only own two duo eyeshadows and of the two, Nars Charade is my favorite. At first try, I hated it because i thought the colors were bland/too similar and didn’t work on my warm toned skin. However, after repeat tries and using eyeliner, I find this duo to be a great understated eye.
HIP duo in Gunmetal!:D
Two faced Lovely Dovey! I love wearing it to big ocassions.
my fave is the l’oreal hip duo in sculpted
My favorite eyeshadow duo is MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Sea & Sky.
My favorite duo is MACs mineralized Sea & Sky e/s. Loves it!

L’Oreal HIP in Gilded…
Rachel´s last blog post..Daisies and Hip Hop Don’t Mix
Well…I really like the Nars Habanera…(Although I could totally live if there is only the minty green shade…)
I don’t use many duos. I’ve used some of the L’Oreal HIP duos, and they were pretty cool though. Super pigmentation!
Mine is a L’Oreal duo HIP HIghlighter that they’ve stopped making!
Kat Von D in Sixxshooter is my fav duo
Vampy Varnish´s last blog post..Sula Paint and Peel Nail Polish
I just bought Earth Angel and I love it!
Looove Nars eyeshadow! And coincidentally my favorite duo of all time was from nars. I forget what it’s called, but it’s this yellow-y chartreuse paired with this blue purple. At first I thought those colors were gross, but together they look fab.
I would have to say that my favorite duo is my MAC Suite in Sweet Liason. It’s great for an everyday look or an even a night look.
Loreal Hip in Saucy!
Jane duo in clubbing (black) and fairy dust (silver blue). It was my first eyeshadow purchase and I’m just always reaching for it!
I hope this isn’t too late!! I love the Nars duo Bysance~ it’s a lovely gold and purple!
I love using L’Oreal Hip Duo in Reckless for a great smokey eye. <33
