Hi there! I should probably either be sleeping or studying or a combination of the two. Instead though, I thought I would do a blog post!
I recently got a completely awesome gift from my friend. The NARS Tech Fashion lip gloss set! I was definitely seeing stars when I saw it. *u* I don't believe this is sold at Sephora which I was surprised about. You can get it from NARS counters though. They retail for about $40 bucks on the website. Seems steep, but not really for NARS I guess.
I thought I would do a mini review and a swatch set of these glosses.
L-R: Shade 1, Shade 2, Shade 3, Shade 4
The first funny thing I noticed were the completely unoriginal names. Cause you know, that really looks like a 'shade 1' sorta colour... Here are the descriptions on the NARS website:
Shade 1: Shimmering peach sorbet
Shade 2: Shimmering sheer fig
Shade 3: Shimmering sheer raspberry
Shade 4: Sheer ruby
I took 2 different pictures. Both are in natural light, but I think the first one came out truer to colour than the second one. I do think that the second one shows a bit clearer the different between Shade 1 and Shade 2.
I have only had these glosses for a bit so that's why I didn't want to do a full review. Shade 4 is my favourite of the set. Awesome pigmentation and looks so pretty on the lips with not as much glitter as the others. I would say that the colour in the tube is not the true colour on lips. That could be good and bad I guess. I'm glad that Shade 2 isn't true to the tube though, as that would be way too brown!
Overall I think these are very good lip glosses. I noticed that for the lighter colours after fading for a couple hours, the colour would disappear but the glitter remained. It looks a little funky, but nothing a reapplication didn't fix. Something else I really liked about these glosses was that they were very hydrating. I wouldn't use them in place of a balm, but I think they do pretty well to soften the lips.
Anyhoo there we go! Hope you enjoyed it, have a great day!
