Recently I bought 3 NARS Lipsticks on Ebay, because here in Brazil, specially in my city, I don’t have NARS =PPP
The Colours: Belle de Jour, Honolulu Honey and Blonde Venus. All of them are nude shades =)))
Before talk about the colours, lets talk about the impressions I had about the lipsticks themselves. At first I thought them very very dry, hard to pass on the lips. I got really surprised as the lipstick is one of the best buys of Sephora and is the favourite brand of many celebs. As the time goes, though, I notice that they start to smooth out, but if your impatient like I am, you might need the help of a lip brush to pass on the lips, which is going to benefit you in 2 ways: first, its going to smooth out the lipstick faster than you pass directly on your lips and second, when you use lip brush to pass the lipstick the result always looks better and more natural =))
The lipstick quality I can say that’s average to good, considering what I said on the up lines, but its very good as its long wearing, doesn’t disappear in a few minutes. I think that’s why they make it sort of dry. I prefer that way because I hate to keep retouching the makeup, specially lipstick.
Well, now lets go to the colours. Belle de Jour is a light beige that on my lips looked like a bit like a concealer, I like this effect specially with dark eyes or smoked eyes. Honolulu Honey is a light rosy beige that also lights up my lips, I bought it more because of the good reviews I read around some websites, and I don’t regret buying it. Both of them are going to be good to light up other lipsticks or wear with neutral lip pencils, like Spice, from MAC. Blonde Venus is the one I liked the most. It’s a flesh orangey rosy colour, it’s a beautiful mixture of beige, orange and rosy that combined made a perfect nude/natural lipstick for everyday use! Its absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Certainly a BEST BUY for olive and brunette skins like me, as you know I’m NC42, like I said in the other post.
