I had heard so much about these lipsticks. They were mentioned on blogs, raved about on YouTube and were splattered all over Instagram. That, paired with the good reviews I had read everywhere else, and I was sold.
I brought two lipsticks, and two that seemed so talked about. The colours were Anna (which was sold out for so long) and Jane. The first time I opened these lipsticks, I lost my mind. I'm not joking, I was shocked at how I felt about these lipsticks, I had literally never been so happy with my makeup purchases.
Firstly the packaging. Cue the angels singing because that's what it was like when I opened these lipsticks. The packaging is rectangle shaped and is black and sexy. The lid has a magnetic design which connects to the bottom half of the lipstick tube and almost ‘snaps’ closed.
The lipsticks are beautiful, they wind up revealing the word Nars written down the actual lipstick which I love, and the colours are stunning. I have Anna and Jane, Anna is a beautiful mauve, whereas Jane is terracotta. Both colours have identical formulas (which is good since a lot of products don't do this).
The formula is lovely, there is no smell but these glide over lips and feel more like a lip balm then a waxy lipstick. There is no tugging, they just apply beautifully and feel moisturizing and hydrating. They last a long time on my lips, but when they do wear, they don't exactly wear evenly, and leave a heavy 'lip liner' look on my lips, but that’s easily fixed by applying more lipstick.
I really like these lipsticks, even though they are pricey. I would love to get my hands on some more.
I just have to give this lipstick 5/5 on all counts. I own two audacious lipsticks (in Mona and Jeanne) and the amount of compliments I get while wearing them is honestly ridiculous. They look incredible! So pigmented with a beautiful shine to them.
The packaging is beautiful, love the black. Also love how the lid has a magnet that keeps the lipstick together, so cool!
I have nothing bad to stay about this lipstick and honestly NARS is my go to whenever I need anything lip related.
Tips: To make it last longer I like to apply a layer then dab my lips with a tissue and then apply another layer.
