Nars Velvet Lip Glide Review

NARS VELVET LIP GLIDE


Introducing Nars Velvet Lip Glide: ($26.00 0.20 fl. oz.) Covetable comfort meets confident color in a high-pigment formula that glides on like a gloss, cloaks like a lipstick - and feels like nothing else. Semi-matte color glides on and stays supple without drying or feeling sticky. Developed with Oil Infusion Complex, an innovative concentration of precious oils, fused to create a smooth glide effect. Fully coats lips on contact with smooth, saturated, semi-matte style.


Named for the personal power and play of the 70's counterculture, Velvet Lip Glide shades invoke the era's new vibe with reference to legendary venues and unforgettable attitude.

I've been trying out these Velvet Lip Glides and I have to say I love them. The color pay-off is great, good pigmentation, very hydrating, and comfortable to wear. Their consistency is that of a lipstick. They are NOT a liquid lipstick where it dries matte. These Lip Glides have a smooth and creamy lipstick like formula which leaves your lips looking plump without settling into the fine lines of your lips. The Velvet Lip Glides have more of a glossy sheen with a matte color. The longer they wear on the lips the gloss fades and the matte comes through even more. I would not say this is a long wearing formula, but it did not say it would be. I think a lot of us have gotten so used to the matte liquid lip's phase that we've forgotten all about our lipsticks in general. I've found my lips are extremely dried out due to using so many matte liquid lips that my lips were so thankful I tried these Velvet Lip Glides out. They were so moisturizing on my lips. I did have to re-apply like you would a normal lipstick, but the pigmentation was there. My two favorites out of the bunch are Bound and Toy. Bound being a dusty deep rose/mauve nude color while Toy is a deep wine burgundy. For me they wore around 3 hours before having to re-apply. If you're eating or drinking obviously you would have to re-apply more often. I would classify these Velvet Lip Glides as more of a highly pigmented gloss vs. a Lipstick. The scent is what I love most about this product because it has that MAC lipsticks type of scent ever so slightly. You can smell a hint of Vanilla so if you are the type of person that does not like scents I still think you should pick these up. The scent is not a strong scent and you only smell it for a brief couple of moments then it's gone. It's not a scent you'll continually smell through-out the day. You will of course smell it when re-applying.

You can purchase these products at Nars and at Sephora.

    1. I know Nars makes some of the best products. Yeah, I'm kind of over the liquid lips that are drying unless I find one that's moisturizing then I'll be the first to share about it. Thank you girl!

    1. Thank you Tiffany! I just seen your comment when I went to comment on Tinnie's. These are great.. I can't believe how moisturizing they are and how they hide any lines in your lips and make them look plump.
