NARS (Thread 15)

^^swatch please!

[ladychris17]

Omg Caren, inggit ako! Mag oorder palang ako. Haha swatch and review!

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

Eto na!

Top to bottom: Revlon Cherries in the Snow, NARS Luxembourg, Le Metier de Beaute Monaco, Bobbi Brown Cosmic Raspberry

For some reason the pictures show the swatches to be a bit more red than pink-red. Shade is an exact dupe of Revlon Cherries in the Snow. I applied Nars Luxembourg on my top lip and Revlon CITS on my bottom lip and could not tell the difference. Formula-wise,  it is very pigmented, you only need very little pressure to apply full color on the lips, one swipe is enough. It's also staining, I guess this goes for all the darker shades. Haven't worn it long enough to distinguish wear time, but I think this is one of those long-lasting yet moisturizing formulas. Will review again once I've tried it with meals and drinks. While the shade is exactly the same as Revlon's CITS, I'm not at all disappointed because I love the shade of CITS and the pencil actually allows for a more precise application and and provides a more elegant finish.

^ thanks sis Caren! At dahol dyan, parang ayaw ko na bigla ng Luxembourg, ayaw ko kasi ng nagddoble ng shades eh. Hmm, and thia goes for Dragon Girl as well if ever.
I might go with Mightiest Maraschino nalang and ibang lemmings na unahin.
May time pa ako mag isip. Thanks again!! Super helpful!

[moonstar_004]

i also have cherries in the snow but wear time on me is poor. i still have to see luxembourg up close. thansk caren!

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

If happy ka na with Revlon's formula, then you don't need Luxembourg. Otherwise, it is a worthy alternative

I also want mightiest maraschino, but it will have to wait. Wala na akong budget for makeup until maybe September. Hahaha! Uubos muna ako ng isang lipstick

[ladychris17]

Happy naman ako with Revlon's formula. Weird kasi madaming nagrereklamo talaga sa wear time niya pero saakin okay naman. Mas poor ang weartime ng Clinique chubby stick intense, pero given naman yun since balm siya,

Ang problema, kaya lang ako bibili ng Dragon Girl para sulitin ang future sharpener ko. Pero ngayon kahit ayoko na ng Luxembourg, parang gusto ko pa ng Dragon Girl. Haha! Meron ka ba nito Caren? Similar ba talaga sa Ronnie Red?

[Antigone]

Actually, NARS Dragon Girl is the prettiest red I've ever seen.

So bibili ako ulet, ganon? hehe! Pero kasi di bagay sa akin ang red. Pero dito lang ako
red na hindi mukhang juding.

[ladychris17]

^ e kasi Chel yung Tom Ford ko kahawig talaga ng Ronnie Red! Medyo pink lang siguro ng konti, pero hawig talaga, kaya feeling ko konti lang sobra difference, pero di ako matahimik kasi. I-swatch ko nga muna, ngayon ko lang naalala ulit na pwede pala. Naiwan ata utak ko sa Satin Lip Pencils, haha!

[Antigone]

^Hahaha! O may Tom Ford ka naman na pala. Wag na! Ayan ha, hindi ako BI.

Bili ka na lang ulet ng isa pang Tom Ford.

[moonstar_004]

and if you're into mattes, maganda talaga velvet mattes.

Very similar sila, pero mas vibrant on me ang Dragon girl. Medyo dark ng konti si Ronnie Red, pero mas kapit talaga and all day wear. If I were asked which of the two I would likely keep if I could choose just one, I'd go with Dragon Girl

[ladychris17]

^Hahaha! O may Tom Ford ka naman na pala. Wag na! Ayan ha, hindi ako BI.

Bili ka na lang ulet ng isa pang Tom Ford.

Haha wala na akong pambili ng Tom Ford, isahan lang yun! Thanks Caren and Lia, sige go na ako sa Dragon Girl kahit walang Luxembourg! Madali naman ata isharpen ang Velvet Matte compared sa ibang pencils na kelangan iref pa!

I'm lemming for their Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer! Pero I have oily and reactive skin I break out with almost everything... Nagbibigay ba ng samples sa NARS kahit 'di nag-purchase?

[chirochan]

mas like ko ang dragon girl mas matte kasi siya yun ronnie red almost same with narcotic rouge sis ladychris iba ang ganda ni dragon girl kapag dewy skin ang peg

Hawig dito ang cherry lush and dragon girl. Ang ganda.

Nasa cart ko na actually yung Dragon Girl kaso I used TF the other day and I fell in love with it again, naisip ko if it's still worth getting another one that's similar (although na eexcite ako kasi brighter siya) sayang kasi if I love it the same way I love Narcotic Rouge tapos di ko masusulit si TF. Haha!
Biggest drawback padin talaga for me yung sharpening eh.

[Antigone]

Ako din, nawalan ako ng interest sa Yu mula ng nakita ko si Givenchy.

Pero ayaw ko pa din magsalita ng tapos. hahaha!
