NARS VELVET LIP GLIDE REVIEW + SWATCHES
Hey Everyone!
It has been some time since I have done a proper makeup product review! I do share some reviews on my instagram's #instastories but those are more so quick first impression reviews. If you are a fan of those, I highly recommend checking those out! :)
Today, I wanted to share my review of the NARS Velvet Lip Glide. Everyone has been loving these lippies all over social media. I thought they were nice when I first saw them in a YouTube video but I was kinda over lip products - very shocking for someone like me! I usually adore collecting various lip products but I was just bored with what was available. Instead of going out and purchasing them, I simply admired them from afar via reading blog posts, watching YouTube videos or window shopping at my local Sephora.
As time went on, my curiosity grew and I kept looking up more reviews and swatches, especially for the shades "Bound" and "Playpen". Occasionally, I went to Sephora's website and kept adding them to my shopping cart but I ended up taking them out or buying something else. Finally, I decided to go ahead and purchase two of these liquid lipsticks.

NARS VELVET LIP GLIDE
Shades from left to right: Playpen, Bound
Playpen (soft coral)
Bound (soft muted smokey rose)
Swatches from top to bottom: Playpen, Bound
Pros:
- moisturizing - lips felt plump and never dry
- lightweight - feels light on the lips and thin formula
- pigmented - very pigmented
- good packaging - sturdy and travel friendly (perfect for those on-the-go days)
- easy to apply - can easily swipe on and do not need to worry about feathering
- smells good - soft vanilla scent (barely noticeable but very pleasant)
- long wearing - wears for 6 - 8 ours on me (unless eating greasy food)
- formula - starts off glossy and dries semi matte throughout the day (LOVE)
- mixes well with other lip products - no separating or clumping!
Cons:
- packaging - doesn't stay clean ( NARS infamous rubber packaging)
- Price - $34 CAN (pricey but I already know they will last a long time due to the awesome formula)
Dupes:
Playpen - more muted and lighter version of L'Oreal Nude Allude
Bound - a lighter version of NARS Anna
Overall, I really enjoyed these NARS lippies. I think they were worth the wait! They are not a matte liquid lipstick like Stila nor Kat Von D. They are more so a lipstick and lipgloss hybrid. I would recommend these to anyone, especially if you are not a fan of typical matte liquid lipsticks. I am considering purchasing other shades and always open to recommendations! The shades "Stripped" and "Unlaced" seem quite nice!
What are your thoughts on these NARS lip products?
