i really hope that one sweet daaaaay nars will do like a mini lip set or set of any kind with these lippies! its so hard to choose just ONE!!

That would be dope. An orange, red, pink, purple set. And maybe add liners and glosses?

Firstly the formula is a one swipe and go formula. Full coverage and opaque!
They are not drying and never bleed. They feel very soft and silky on the lips.
Expensive yes, but worth it in my opinion.

In short.... EVERYTHING!!!

They are pigmented, moisturizing and basically everything you would want from a lipstick. Now other lipsticks at similar price points cannot say the same thing. To me the NARS lipsticks are the 100% deserving of the price.

These lipsticks are so perfect!
Oh and they do not have a scent either! Which makes them even more perfect.

Totally agree that these are worth the price. Correct me if I'm wrong but I also remember these containing more product than an average lipstick. (In terms of grams)

I have all sorts of lipsticks, from MAC (at the low price point) to Tom Ford. 9 days out of 10, I reach for one of these! Unscented, long-lasting, moisturizing, pigmented (as someone with highly pigmented lips, I am thrilled at being able to wear any of these 40 shades!), and have a flawless formula.

They're the best performing out of any lipsticks that I've ever owned. Period.

I expect someday to own almost all of them, I bet!

NO lipstick is one swipe for me, I'm sooo sloppy I generally must line first and if I'm having a good day I may not have to clean up the edges with concealer haha... Any must have shades??? I saw a really interesting shocking pink yesterday... Thanx

They are advertised as one swipe and go lipsticks. You can apply as many layers as you want babe. I do lol Depends what you like as far as colors go. If you love pinks Michiyo and Claudia are very pretty. There are so many choices

Thanks for the input! I would think that ordering online is the safer way to go too. Then I talked to a friend and she said she's received things 3 different times from Sephora online that were clearly used...so ew. Now I'm again thinking of just exchanging it, even though it's probably perfectly fine. Your comment about it "paying on your mind a lot" is my issue exactly.

I decided that it kind of looks like there's an extra layer of skin...an uncircumcised lipstick, if you will. If I end up going to the store tomorrow, I have half a mind to say to whatever poor soul ends up helping me, "Excuse me, but my lipstick appears to still have its foreskin." I can only imagine the reaction I would get...

That is gross, surely the Sephora items ordered online were plucked from a store and sent?! Three separate times though

Did you end up going to the store? LOL at your description

Considering how expensive these lipsticks are, you should have a perfect one! Even a cheaper item should be in tact, but the fact that these are not cheap makes it worse IMO.

Even if you get someone telling you it came from the manufacturer, just tell them you expect it to be perfect considering the price you paid and not have a missing chunk.

I will say, Chanel lipsticks are the best quality I have had, however once I bought one and thank goodness the sales woman checked as it was totally broken at the base and sitting up in the lid.

I have had quite a few lipsticks which lean forward too close to the inner tube casing and get all cut up when used over time, and that annoys me- especially when they break off.

Anyways, you should be 100% happy with your purchase- you're the one who will be using it for quite some time until you finish it, so don't worry about telling them how you feel!

Here's my swatch of Greta. I love it so much!

Stunning - it is sold out at my local store, but on my radar!

You need Liv oke:

 

[Vandekamp]

You need Liv

Even if I wanted it I do not recall seeing that shade at Sephora this weekend. However, I could have checked out Nordstroms. I totally forgot that they now carry Nars. Oops.
