“Velvet lip glide is soft, yet strong. Effortless and intense. Polished and provocative. It encourages you not to compromise. Glide on strength. Go with it. See where it takes you.”—François Nars

“This season, NARS also takes lips to a whole new level with the new Velvet Lip Glide. The new liquid lipstick strikes the perfect balance between softness and strength, coverage and comfort in a full range of colours.Oil Infusion Complex also allows for a smooth-glide effect, instantly delivering saturated colour with sensorial comfort.”

This highly-saturated lip color combines covetable comfort and confident shades in one smooth move. Its wand coats like a lipstick, yet glides on like a gloss. The finish is semi-matte, long-lasting, and non-drying for luscious, vibrant lips. Water lily flowers and white tea extract are infused into this hybrid lip glide for antioxidant protection and ultimate hydration
I was so excited for this new launch by NARS ever since I saw these Velvet Lip Glides on their Instagram account.
All the shades are pretty awesome and fun to play with, choose from – reds, plums, pinks, coral and nude.oh man! I’m drooling!
I totally feel that these shades will suit every skin tones!

Packaging:
The packaging of Velvet Lip glides looks real chic and goes very well with the whole concept!
Formula / Texture:
The formula is between lipstick and lipgloss that is hydrating, richly pigmented,
The finish is not overly glossy but its definitely very creamy , reflective looking and comfortable to wear

The applicator glides easily on the lips and packs good amount of product at a time
that is more like a cream sheen gloss with a non-tacky consistency.
It can be rightly called a liquid lipstick

The most interesting part is the pigmentation.(a makeup freak always asks for decent pigmentation right?? )
Velvet lip glides offers great pigmentation in just ONE swipe that gives lips a plumper, fuller look.. so a big yay !!!!!!

PLAYPEN
A very wearable, coral-pink kind of shade, which will look extremely flattering for day time fresh makeup look ,A must try shade!

BOUND
This one had me interested on the very first glance! A very pretty mauvy-rose-pink shade looks good on every makeup look.. a perfect everyday lip shade
————————————————————————–

NO.54
Call it love at first sight..the most insanely pigmented and long lasting shade extremely gorgeous, classic red which is utterly creamy. LOVE IT
————————————————————————–

As The texture is little glossy it cannot stay for insanely long period , it stays for good 2 hours,
After two to three hours, they tend to look more like a natural finish without washing off the color from the lips .

Overall, I absolutely love this, very easy to work with ! If you’re done with your mattes then its high time to get your hands on this , Call It a pigmented cream gloss or a glossy lipstick NARS really nailed it!!
