NARS Lip Gloss in Spring Break Review + Swatches

Hey guys! Today I wanted to share a product that I recently bought. I originally went into Sephora wanting to purchase the Nars Larger than Life lip gloss in Born This Way, a light lilacy-pink gloss. I know full-on lilac lip stick probably won't work for me, but I wanted to embrace the trend on some level so I really wanted to give this a try! When faced with all the NARS glosses, I started to second guess my original decision, of course swatching numerous colors trying to decide which would be the best one to buy. Oddly enough, I ended up with a fairly basic nude gloss. What attracted me was the gold shimmer that I thought would be so nice for a summer!

If I didn't know any better, I would think this was the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer- it is the exact same packing and a very similar color!

What makes this lip gloss slightly different than most is the applicator. It has a short, stiff, paint brush as opposed to the doe foot applicator most glosses have. I actually like this because you can get a really precise application with such a small brush. The downside is you may need a few coats to get the nice, even coverage that you get with the doe foot.

This gloss has nice color payoff for a nude and I love the golden shimmer (although you can't really see it in this picture). The texture is quite sticky, which makes it last for hours, but I know can drive some people crazy. It doesn't bother me too much, and I love the fact that it doesn't rub off as quickly as some of the more "slippery" glosses!

Overall, I really love this lip gloss. You definitely pay for it with a price tag of $26, but I think having a few higher-end products can go so far when it comes to your makeup collection. And what better to invest in than a nude gloss that will never go out of style! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! When you are commenting down below I would LOVE to hear any suggestions for future makeup posts-or any types of posts-that would be useful! Thank you! XO
