Sephora 2015 Birthday Gift: NARS Lip Pencils


So this is what the packaging looks like and the lip pencils inside are:
1. NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (Cruella)
2. NARS Satin Lip Pencil (Rikugien)



Cruella-- Make sure to moisturize before applying anything matte onto your lips! The color is beautiful, not a dark vampy color but lighter than burgundy. It's nice to go out with day or night if you want a pop of color on your face and I would pair it with moderate eye makeup. One tip I would give is to use a lip liner with this. You can see the edges of my lips and although it is a lip pencil, it isn't a sharp thin pencil but more of a big crayon shape.

Rikugien-- Gives a light pink sheen with a cooler light purple undertone to it. The satin sheen makes it seem slightly metallic but you should apply gloss over it for more shine.
