A few weeks ago I received my order from NARS (one of my favorite brands) and I'm absolutely delighted. I've been testing many of the products and really like them. Below is a pic of the stuff I ordered.
NARS Sheer Lipstick in Dolce Vita ($24 USD for 0.12 oz)
What can I say about the Dolce Vita L/S? It has become my favorite! And that's not something I say about many products. In fact, I stopped referring to products as "Holy Grail" or things like that--not that I have done it many times. It's hard for me to say something is HG material and then the next day something better comes up...lol.
NARS describes it as a 'sheer dusty rose'. The ingredients includes vitamine E and some other good-for-the-skin oils. The color this l/s provide on my pigmented lips is just right, the type of MLBB lipstick but with a rose tint (my lips are naturally more rosy brown than rose). It wears decently (would love to get a bit more of wear time, but it is a sheer l/s after all) and I like that it does not feels dry or looks weird when it's fading. Price maybe a bit high, but to me, totally worth it. I do think this shade may work for every skintone. Would I buy again? Yes!
Rating: 4.5/5
NARS Lipgloss in Turkish Delight ($24 USD for 0.28 oz)
This is one of NARS classics and yes, you may have heard it is one of Kim K's favorite (I really don't know if it stills is). At first I was afraid it would be too light for me but if it worked for Ms. Kardashian, it had to work for me -- at least that was my reasoning for buying it. o_O LOL.
The shade is beautiful light cool pink and it works perfectly with smoky eyes. NARS says it's a 'pink sherbet' shade. I have to disagree --I looks more pale than that on my lips. It works nice with my complexion (MAC NC 37-40 skin). The only thing is that on pigmented lips (mine are more pigmented in the borders) I'd recommend wearing a base or lip pencil first, because if not it will just disappear upon application. I mean, it looks nice on non-flash photography (like the pics below) but whenever I take flash photos, you can barely see it. Where this l/g excels is in the formula. Love it. Very hydrating and personally I don't find it very 'sticky'. The price tag is a bit high, though you get a decent amount of product. I'm not sure I'd buy it again because I think there are nice dupes in the drugstore. Nonetheless, it's a lovely shade.

Great NARS haul!! I just got the eyeshadow primer too and haven't tried. I'm hoping it will be just as good as the UDPP.
