Each lipstick retails for $32 USD ($37 CAD). Only 30 shades are available on Sephora but you can find all 40 shades at NARS boutiques or their official website.

Review

These lipsticks are creamy, opaque and pigmented. I really like how they feel on the lips. Check out my video for lip swatches and review:

Finish: Satin

Application: These go on so smoothly. They do get on the teeth but after a couple minutes once they are dried, they don't move. Most of them come off easily with waterproof makeup remover but the following shades stain: Greta, Fanny.

Wear Time: Since these aren't matte, they aren't that long wearing but they can last me a couple of hours if I don't eat. You will need to reapply if you do eat. The lighter shades fade away nicely but I'd recommend lining the lips for darker ones.

Pros

Pigmented

Creamy

Moisturizing

Cons

Transfer: These lipsticks do transfer even when dried.

Anita - Antique Rose

This nude is a great everyday shade. I like to pair this one with MAC Whirl or Soar lip pencils. In the photo below, I have used MAC Whirl to outline my lips.

Anna - Smokey Rose

I love Anna! It's my favorite out of all of them. I wear this a lot. It's a beautiful mauve/pink shade. I also like to pair this one with MAC Whirl or Soar lip pencils but I love lining it with Annabelle Stay Sharp Waterproof Lip Liner in shade Berry. In the photo below, I have used MAC Soar to outline my lips.

Annabella - Poppy Red

Annabella is a bright red lipstick. I love it! This is the only red I have from their collection.

______________

Greta- Wild Azalea

Greta is a beautiful coral pink lipstick. It does leave a slight stain on the lips.

______________

Janet - Deep Magenta

I noticed this one isn't as opaque as the others. This one reminds me a lot of Fanny but it's brighter.

Fanny - Rich Berry

Just like Janet, this one isn't as opaque and pigmented as the other lipsticks. It looks like a deeper version of Janet.
