The BamShell Thoughts>>>
I usually prefer matte lipsticks as it looks more natural on me, even though it often dries up my lips pretty bad. But that's not the case w/ nars pure matte, as this is surprising moisturizing compare to other ones I've tried. I find the texture and the packaging pretty similar to sephora's matte lippies , however, I find nars to be non drying, no waxy/tacky feeling and doesn't bleed.
I find vesuvio as a pretty wearable red for daytime, I just do a dabbing motion for natural effect and swipe it heavily for a bolder look. I also thought it's cool naming their shades after different places all over the world.
Will I repurchase? yeah, I wanna get tonkin or bangkok shade =)
