NARS Bolero Velvet Matte Lip Pencil - £17.50
I first saw this after my last flatmate bought it in the Summer, I immediately wanted it but after a while completely forgot about it - until I was at the NARS counter recently. I got the last one, so it was obviously meant to be.
This is a sort of lipstick crayon, it's a really soft and pigmented lip product, which leaves a brilliant matte finish. This is the second Velvet Matte pencil I own from NARS (the other being Roman Holiday) and I think they're great quality.

As it's a matte finish, and I have dry lips, I'm always a bit wary of how it's going to look on my lips. Lighter shades tend to make lips look even drier, but this has such a creamy consistency. I don't find my lips get too dry when I use this, although a small amount of maintenance usually goes down well before applying!
This is fast becoming my favourite lip product, the colour is perfect - a peachy pink with a hint of coral, and it seems to stay on my lips for ages (something that rarely happens).
It's a bit more expensive than other lipsticks, but I do think it's worth the price. I love NARS products, it's definitely one of my favourite brands and I think the shades they have are all gorgeous.
What do you think of NARS Bolero? (I think this product was Limited Edition but it seems to have been moved to the main collection now wooo)
It look beautiful! Going on my shopping list!

It might just be my moniter colour :| but it looks almost identical to Topshop's 'Coy' lipstick pencil! Either way it's really nice!

Ooh, pretty colour! Is it bad that I've never tried Nars? Another thing to add to the list of things I desperately want but can't afford!

Oooh, love this! Lately I'm so fond of matte lip colours, it all started with the Elf Studio matte lip crayon- I was amazed by its creaminess and longevity on the lips! I'm def going to check out Nars Bolero, looks like the perfect shade for summer! xx
ReplyDeleteYes, I love these lip pencils. I'd have them all if I could afford it! That colour does look particularly lovely on you

Another goodie to my Nars wishlist! This shade is so pretty and I'm glad it has a creamy consistency, because my lips tend to get pretty dry too so that's a big plus xx
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing on you! I have this too, I did find it accentuated my dry lips though!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job on the review. That's a nice shade :D
ReplyDeleteThe shade is lovely on you, I wouldn't be brave enough to try a coral!

Its such a pretty shade. Suits you so much! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour and I love the matte finish. I'm always wary of matte lipsticks for the same reason - they seem to really emphasise any dry areas, but I'm very tempted to give this a try, it's beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteLove this colour, I have one in a nude colour that I have totally forgotten about until seeing this! x
ReplyDeleteI love this peachy look!
