NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Hyde Park Review

Jae Burkett Leave a Comment

For Christmas last year, my husband gave me the NARS Digital World Lip Pencil Coffret (saving that for another post), a collection of NARS matte and satin lip pencils. It was my first time trying any of the NARS lip pencils. At the time I was lip pencil crazy and needed to try all of them, so it was a good starter set. While the mattes in that collection were very drying on me and gave me granny lips, I fell in love with the satin pencils. On our trip to Vegas in February I had to hit up a real live Sephora store (my town only has the dinky JCPenny version) and the NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Hyde Park ended up being one of the treasures I brought home with me.

Lipstick Queen Three to Captivate Review

Over the past couple of months, I have had a relatively unhealthy obsession with lip crayons. I am lazy and they are a step above tinted lip balm, but not as much upkeep as a lipstick. When I spotted the Lipstick Queen Three to Captivate set at Ulta, I immediately swatched it and then told myself I really didn’t need it.

And then I decided that $22 was worth putting my curiosity to rest. Continue Reading →

After my extremely positive experience trying Urban Decay’s Revolution Lipstick in Venom, I spent some time swatching other colors at Ulta because their lipsticks seemed very promising and I wanted to try more. I have a terrible habit of bringing home lipsticks that don’t flatter my face just because they look nice on my hand, so I held off for a while because I wasn’t sure what I wanted. Once all of the holiday gift sets start appearing, I knew exactly what I needed to do. Continue Reading →

Lipstick Queen Endless Summer Collection Review

About a month ago, I invested in a lipstick set by Lipstick Queen. While they turned out to not exactly be my favorite colors of all time, they were EXACTLY what I wanted in a lipstick. They were moisturizing, sheer, not sticky, and didn’t settle into the lines in my lips at all. They also weren’t lipstick flavored, or any other flavor. My dreams had finally come true. I found a lipstick that wasn’t like a lipstick. My tinted lip balm days are over! Continue Reading →
