I don’t know about you, but lips are probably on of my favorite features to play up. I love trying new colors and products on them, so it was hard not to jump on the lip crayon bandwagon. I immediately purchased a few of NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils in three different shades: Dolce Vita, Walkyrie, and Bahama.

I was immediately satisfied with the smooth application and the overall longevity of the lip crayons. They act like a stain on your lips, though they are ten times easier to apply, and the finish is like a lip balm. It took less time to apply then using a lipstick because you don’t have to worry about lining your lips, and unlike some lips crayons, it doesn’t flake or look clumpy on your lips. It has a naturally beautiful application every time.

NARS formulated the lip pencils with high pigments, along with vitamin E, and silicones, so it doesn’t dry out your lips or fade. The only disadvantage was I had to wear a balm over it after a little while to keep my lips soft. Click picture to view & purchase.
