5.0 out of 5 stars The best lip color, PERIOD. November 27, 2010

By K. Vandall

Color Name:Sex Machine

I first read about NARS Cosmetics in an internet article (maybe from Allure?) - one of those "best beauty finds" stories. It mentioned the NARS Matte Lip Pencil. The recommended color was "Roman Holiday" so I ordered one from the company. I was truly surprised! It's just a big, fat, lip crayon (NOT a liner). Very sturdy, and the color glides on and covers like lipstick, but has a velvety texture like...well, almost like ChapStik. It will last for many hours and DOES NOT "pill" like lipstick (which I have grown to hate over the years). The ingredients must be gentle because my lips feel soft even after the color has worn away. The "Roman Holiday" color is a shiny, pale pink. I decided to try a different color (darker) so I ordered "Sex Machine." Nice color, but too "mauve" for me, no shine. These pencils are a MUST-HAVE for any gal's make up bag. And NARS customer service is one the best EVER to work with! Yes, they may be a little pricey, but I think it's worth it.

I did read a review from someone who gave this product a low rating because they couldn't get the pencil sharpened. NARS sells a multi-product sharpener ($6) that sharpens 3 or 4 of their different pencils. The wrap of the Matte Lip Pencil is VERY thick, and must be sharpened slowly or it will be ruined. Keep this in mind when it's time to sharpen your pencil. And don't forget to remove the adapter that's stuck in the hole for the lip pencil!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny January 9, 2007

If you like the look of matte lip color, this is for you! It's not dry as many matte lip colors can be and the crayon form makes it a snap to apply. I found this after Clinique stopped making their "Chubby Stick" line, if you're also looking for a replacement, look no further!
