Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencils – new shades – review and swatches

My first ever Nars purchase was a Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dulce Vita.  I tried on the beautiful mauve pink shade and fell in love with the silky smooth formula and it’s great lasting power.

And now,  just in time for Summer, the brand is launching 10 new shades. The shades range from a moody blue, a bright fuchia to a sultry purple.   I got my hands on 7 gorgeous shades which are swatched below.  

From top to bottom – Get Off, Let’s go crazy, Famous Red, Do me baby, Endangered Red, Dirty Mind , Lonely Heart

Check out the swatches along with their cheeky names 😉

It’s hard to pick a favourite but I love “Endangered Red ” – a deep wine hued red, that would great with all skin tones.

The lasting power of these lipsticks are pretty impressive.  They last around 6-7 hours and most of them leave behind a light stain (except for “Get Off” which is too light to show up on my pigmented lips).  If you have dry lips, I would advise moisturising your lips prior to applying these (apply lip balm, leave it for a little and blot before applying lipstick).

The new collection is available from the Nars boutique in the Dubai Mall and Nars counters in the UAE. 

So, which one is your favourite shade ? Please do leave a comment below..
