NARS Week Day 7 - Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil

Well everyone this is the end of my NARS week. I hope that I have brought more of the brand to life for you and given you all some ideas of what to buy next time that you head over to Sephora or the actual NARS store. The week is going to end as it began, with a new product that has come out for the opening of the store. The Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil is a new version of the best-selling Velvet Matte Lip Pencil and should be a lovely product to go into the spring months. Velvet Matte is a top rated product so I have very high expectations of this new version.

"Gorgeously glossy, intensely hydrating. NARS takes everything beloved about it Velvet Matte Lip Pencil - the convenience of a pencil with the application of a lipstick in a jumbo-sized crayon design - then swaps the matte formula for one that lends luminosity. Available in six beautifull glazed shades, the Velvet Gloss Lip Pencils feature a lightweight formula that is enriched with Vitamin E, plus a blend of moisture-rich hyaluronic spheres for a lustrous look that's exceptionally rich. It doesn't get glossier than this", states the product description on the NARS website. So far there are only six shades but I am willing to be that more will be coming out as the seasons pass.

The shades of theis new product...

- Happy Days - pink coral infused with gold shimmer
- New Lover - gold infused strawberry pink
- Frivolous - iridescent seashell pink
- Hopi - honey beige
- Baroque - raspberry sorbet
- Club Mix - sheer grape

I am looking at these shades as more natural shades that I can use against strong eye makeup or for a more natural look during the day. I am the most interested in the Hopi shade, I hope that it is more neutral than warm and I can use it for a natural mouth that will stay on for hours on end. Frivolous will be a great shade in the spring before I have any type of tan and New Lover will look better in the summer months against my fake tan. Baroque might take me more into new fall with the berry tone of it and will look lovely against a gold eye. I will also try to pull this shade off during the warmer months and see how pigmented it appears once on the lip.

The is the end of NARS week. Readers, my greatest success would come if some of you end up loving the line as much as I do...
