NARS (Thread 15)

[kikaycorner]

Hi! Does anyone know kung madami pang available shades ng Audacious Lipsticks sa Gateway?  Ang konti na sa Shang e, and they don't know kung kailan magkakaron ng new stocks.

[hisana]

Had someone order Brigitte and Anna for me. Audrey seems nice also, though by just looking at the swatches, am not sure kung babagay sa akin. Sticking to safe colors for now.

Yes daw, but no testers. I think wala lang is Anna and another shade I forgot the name.

Wrong move na silipin ang thread na 'to. After checking the swatches of Audacious lipsticks, I found myself listing the shades I want to buy! Haha! Super lemming ako ngayon kay Natalie, Juliette, and Michiyo! A total of 10 shades lemmings ko.  Though I'm still trying to see kung ano ano na ang similar shades na meron na ako. According to Temptalia Natalie is similar to Watch Me Simmer, which I have. Michiyo looks similar din kay Schiap.


By the way, how much sa local counters natin ang Audacious? Sorry if it was posted already. Can't seem to find it.

^P1,650 sis.

[ellenmitchie]

^ Wow! Grabe ha. Way back I used to buy their lipstick at around 1,250 to 1,350 pa. Last time I bought one was 2012 and that time 1,450 na lipsticks nila.

Anyway, thanks sis!

I want to buy either the Dolce Vita Lip Pencil or the Niagara, help me decide mga sis. My lips are a bit pigmented, darker ang edge sa lower lip ko . I am NC25.

I want to try the new powder foundation. Not yet available here, tho

[AngelicFez]

^^hi sis! it depends kung anong mas gusto mong color kasi different si dolce vita pencil from niagara. the first is a muted rosy red while the latter is a bright coral red. i had niagara din dati pero i gave it away kasi that time di pa ako mahilig sa bright colors. dolce vita is great for everyday wear & super easy to apply. it's best if you will try at the counter para sure

Yan ba yun all- day luminous powder foundation? Interested to try rin HG ko kasi powder foundi nila pero parang kulang sa coverage..

[little_princess]

I have both Dolce Vita and Niagra, they are both very flattering shades and it would depend on what you need or what colours you want

Hi mga sissies, thanks a lot! I am looking for an everyday wear na merong peachy or coral shade with a little bit of pink.

[little_princess]

^ I think niagara would be better for you since it's more pink. Dolce Vita is more muted eh and if you have dark lips, I don't think the colour will pop out

Yun! Tempted to buy blind... Sana same shade yung stromboli ng sheer glow and yung powder. That's my exact shade.

I'm NC25 too and Niagara works better for me than Dolce Vita. It brightens my face too. Though my lips are kinds moody - sometimes they look pale, at times they look a bit pigmented. Hth.

 thank you sis! I will choose this na over dolce vita.

Wow! i think we are the same sis. hirap pakibagayan ng lips ko.

i wanna see the nars audacious lipstick, might get a couple if i like the cosistency on my lips. hope its not drying though, almost same price kasi sya ng HG lipstick ko na chanel but if i like the colors and formulation, baka i'll get a coupleof colors, maybe top 3 na pinakagusto ko

[sweetieping]

medyo OT: nars mattes vs mac mattes? alin mas okay in terms of longevity, pigmentation and application.

[shopaholic18]

Finally went to sephora and tried on the audacious lipsticks. i liked the formula, thought it would be drying. specifically loved anna and fanny, i like the darks kasi they leave a stain kahit kumain ka. maybe will choose one more color, barney's exclusive like Marisa maybe. Maganda din yung Brigette

[rae]

^^ mas consistent yung MAC matte lipsticks across the line, even pigment, mas mura, mas madaming grams. Payat yung tube ng Nars pure matte and some of the pure matte lipsticks have frost/shimmer like Bangkok and Val Paraiso. Pero most of them walang shimmer like Mascate, Carthage, and Amsterdam.

Yung velvet matte pencils din ng NARS, some of them have shimmer, like Never Say Never, pero some wala.

Yung NARS semi-mattes, parang it's more drying than MAC for me.

Ang problem pa with NARS esp here, ang daming out-of-stock shades.

Longevity: halos pareho lang with NARS and MAC.
Application: yung retro matte ng MAC, medyo tuggy, and two of the matte pro lipsticks, tuggy din. yung regular matte (non-retro) ng mac, easier to apply, glides smoothly.
