Favourite Summer Lippies by Nars!

My new two favourite summer lippies both signed by François Nars...



Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment in Angelique
Lipstick Satin in Niagara


For an everyday wear Nars Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment claims to nourish and hydrate chapped lips, while giving a sheer yet noticeable tint. Infused with SPF 15, the rich and creamy texture protects lips throughout the day.
I am lip balm addict, so in my purse I always carry lip balm that I use as a base before I put on lipstick. But this time around I didn't need to carry either lip balm or lipstick, since Pure Sheer Lip Treatment worked miracles as both. Out of the range the most noticeable shade, yet still very subtle, is Angelique, the darkest shade of the range, and it is sheer strawberry tint, very enhancing to my NC30 skin tone.

If I need a stronger punch of colour I resort to Nars Lipstick Satin in shade Niagara. Beautiful and summery pinkish coral. I don't consider myself a "pink supporter" therefore choosing this shade was a surprise. I was actually looking for a coral colour and shade Casablanca is the true classic shade of coral your mother probably has in her make-up bag since the 90's and that is probably why I didn't get it, shade Niagara in the other hand has pink undertones that give an instant fresh look. What I really like about this formula is that it is non-drying (although I still apply lip balm underneath for extra nourishing) and the creamy-but-still-translucent finish. Worn alone with eye liner and a coat of ultra black mascara on the top eyelashes and you are ready to go!

Both of them make great summer indispensables!
