Hey ladies! Today I’m going to be reviewing my first ever NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (£18) link. These pencils have so much hype online and they’re a cult product, plus its NARS so you can be sure I had high expectations! As usual I love the packaging, simple, functional and so very Narsissist with the colour at the end making it easy to distinguish from the rest (...that’ll be in my collection come May mwahahaa). Its a chubby pencil, comfortable to hold and not retractable - still need to buy their pencil sharpener, ehh.
Price: The only thing that makes me sad about this pencil is the price. Don’t get me wrong, its the best lip pencil I’ve ever tried and so worth a high price tag but not too friendly for a student budget! I still prefer to hold out and wait for the ASOS sales when I can pick it up for 20% off!
It’s easy to reapply, doesn’t fade patchy and the colour is super versatile ^_^
Final Verdict:Rating: 9
Pros: The colour looks sophisticated, the packaging is great, it’s as creamy and non-drying as a lip pencil can get. It’s long lasting, it doesn’t fade or flake and it has wonderful pigmentation. Reapplication is seamless.
Cons: None of my jumbo sharpeners seem to fit so it looks like I’ll have to purchase the official one. Also if you haven’t prepped the lips beforehand, dryness will stand out.
Repurchase? Yes, I love the colour and everything else about it. Just have to wait till a nice 20% off sale of course!
Thank-you for reading ♥
