NARS Fall 2013 Velvet Matte Lip Pencils in Mysterious Red and Paimpol
This morning I had a Channing Tatum revelation.
In 1990, Chan-Tate — master of abdominal gyrations and star of many of my favorite daydreams — was 10 years old.
That same yr, I was 15, and my younger brother was 11. So, technically, Channing could have been my lil' brother's homeboy, which past default means I could have been Channing Tatum'southward bodyguard.
Cue pitiful unicorn face!
Hmm… There's something very weird about that. At approximately the same fourth dimension I discovered the wonders of matte lipsticks (more on this in a sec), I could also take been preparing Channing Tatum a Hot Pocket for lunch, reading him a story, or scolding him for jumping on the couch.
Yup, matte, powdery-lookin' lips were all the rage dorsum then. For a period of near 10 years, while immature Channing Tatum was probably pretending to exist a Thundercat in the backyard, the world faced a severe shortage of glossed and glittery lips.
But, equally they say, what'due south old is new again. 🙂 It'south time for us to talk about lips and NARS Autumn 2013.
Take my hand, friend, as the waves of '90s nostalgia crash over us…
In a collection heavy on matte eyes and lips, with the Velvet Matte Lip Pencils, there isn't a single sparkle to exist institute betwixt pale pink Paimpol and brick-similar Mysterious Red.
Mysterious Red
Of the two, Mysterious Red is the showstopper for me, albeit one that isn't entirely unique. While striking and assuming, I've seen the color and shades like it before (NARS Forbidden Red, MAC RiRi Woo and MAC Red come to mind).
Beautiful and classic, this warmish opaque brick red is the verbal lip color I longed for in the summer of 1990, when I desperately wanted to wait like Madonna in her Express Yourself video, yet despite its stark, flat matte finish, it feels surprisingly smooth on my lips.
For comparing, y'all know that dramatic, powdery effect you get with MAC RiRi Woo? Well, Mysterious Red has it, too, but without the tugging or skipping.
And existence a pencil, information technology's a cinch to utilize. Just line and fill in your lips.
If you lot compulsively collect reds and want to freshen your collection for fall, Mysterious Ruddy would be a solid choice. It may non be the most groundbreaking shade, but at least you know information technology won't get out of style before yous've worn it down to a stub.
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: B+/A-
Paimpol
Under close exam, I practise come across some sparkles on pinkish chiffon Paimpol's tip, only there isn't a twinkle in sight when it's on my lips, where it's more than of a straight-up flat matte.
Can't say I'm in honey with this i. I had my heart set on a soft baby pink, merely I get more of a purplish pink on my pigmented lips.
A fiddling too CSI for me…
Information technology'southward also patchy and latches on to fifty-fifty the finest devious flakes, basically making me look bloodless, similar I was a hungry vampire's dinner.
If you look skilful in pale, purplish pinks like MAC's Viva Glam Nicky 2, y'all tin can probably pull it off, just I gotta give this one a Kanye shrug.
MAKEUP AND Dazzler BLOG RATING: C-:
PRICE: $25 each
AVAILABILITY: Coming July fifteen to NARS counters, boutiques and online
Drakkar Noir
Remember that stuff? Every guy in my class had Drakkar Noir cologne emanating from his pores…
Information technology reminds me of dances, sweaty palms and boys stepping on my toes. I'k only remembering it now because 1 of my favorite bands, Phoenix, has a song called Drakkar Noir.
Information technology'south pretty catchy, besides.
Big Phoenix fan over here. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
