My Review
This is a really lovely formula. It is super creamy and actually feels so bouncy and cushiony on the lips, which really adds to the feeling of comfort.
The doe-foot applicator makes the colour really easy to apply and you can go for a light, diffused layer, or build up the colour for more impact.
I absolutely love the range of shades. Shag and Chaser are my favourite nudes, Joyride is a really easy to wear pink, and Mad Rush is the most amazing Orangey Red.
Although the formula promises to be longwearing, I think it performs in a fairly average way on that front. I think that is down to how creamy and hydrating the finish is on the lips. It never really dries down to set the colour. This is actually a plus for me, as I would rather reapply, than deal with the dryness that some longwearing matte formulas can deliver.
I love the packaging. It has some gorgeous soft-touch finish that NARS is famous for.
If you are looking for something with a similar diffused finish but longer wear time, check out the MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipsticks.*
