Nars NARSissist Velvet Lip Glide Set Review/Pictures

This is where I tell you to run, not walk to your nearest Ulta or computer to buy this exclusive set.

You may be familiar with the Velvet Lip Glide formula NARS came out with about a year ago - it features opaque coverage with a super comfortable, gloss-like feel minus the tackiness. Shiny upon initial application, this particular gloss dries down over the course of a few hours to a velvety, plush appearance.

Note - this is NOT a comparable formula to some of the long-wear liquid lipsticks that have hit the market lately (see brands such as Tarte, Smashbox, Stila). Those babies dry down and stay on literally forever. This is a nice in-between, with decent staying power (several hours on me).

I am a huge fan.

Of the original shades released, I most favored Bound, a rosy pink with faintly mauvey undertones on me. Although I loved the formula, I found that the shade range mostly fell on the too-light or too-statement side for my taste (bright fuschias, sheer nudes, blue-pinks). Last year, NARS came out with a holiday set featuring a range of six shades, but the colors all tended to run on the very dark side with the exception of Bound.

However, this summer NARS came out with an Ulta-exclusive set of six shades that absolutely KILLS it as far as wearability! We've got gorgeous coral and rose pinks, both cool and warm undertones, a berry that is so beautiful I almost cried with joy when I saw it.

This came on the scene seven days ago, and this is limited edition (all shades are brand new, no repeats from the permanent line) - who knows how long it will last? GO GET IT NOW. DO IT.
