Pay day usually means a few treats that have been on my mind for a while, and where better to spend than on the Nars counter! I pretty much nearly everything from Nars, but decided to buy three bits:
I have always wanted the PERFECT nude mauve lips – I got the Velvet Matte Pencil in Sex Machine, Lip Gloss in Belize and Multiple in Tuomota, which is a bronzer matte orange-less brown that is so so so easy to wear as a contour. I own Malaysia with is a much darker, warm brown. Tuomota is perfect…(see swatches click more!)
The texture of the Velvet mattes are gorgeous, but if I am honest, dry my lips a little. Nars lip sticks tend to be on the more matte side and I have naturally dry lips…This pencil is the perfect rosey-mauve:
I got a gloss to go on top to counteract the dryness and it works a treat. Belize must be the perfect nude, its a mauve with a slight, very slight gold shimmer:
Tuomota again – its pretty much a beige – I didn’t want something that could be mistaken for a bronzer, which this can’t:
The multiple texture has to improved a lot, creamy, less greasy feeling.

Day to day staple items, don’t you think? Do you like Nars?
