Lipstick lovers and holiday gift shoppers are in for a treat because today's post is all about bold, vivid color
that will knock your socks off! NARS has outdone themselves with the new
Metropolis Mini Audacious Lipstick Coffret and if you haven’t already added it
to your holiday wish-list, you should!
What makes this set so special is the range of irresistible color
and the trendy keepsake coffret (a French word meaning box or container). The
chic, frosted case is etched with the NARS logo and a pair of pouty lips that looks beautifully decorative atop your vanity.
The sturdy lid has some weight to it and slides open to reveal
8 cult-classic Mini Audacious Lipsticks in rich reds, vibrant orange, burgundy,
wine and neutrals – basically all the shades I’m obsessed with! Created by Francois
Nars and Fashion Photographer Sarah Moon, the holiday range sets the tone for
the season and explores every facet of femininity with brazen, unstoppable pigment.
Although the lipsticks are mini they pack a bold, saturated
punch of color and the size is ideal for smaller handbags. The luxurious, buttery formula is pretty much everything I look for in a good lipstick- smooth, creamy
and easy to apply with full-coverage, intense color that makes lips look sexy
and alluring. They glide on light and lush with a comfortable, hydrating
texture that keeps my pout supple and smooth.

The lavish finish appeals to both matte lovers and shine fanatics
because it falls somewhere in-between. It has a gorgeous satiny radiance that
emits subtle luminosity with no feathering or bleeding. With the exception of
the two neutral hues (which may not be the right nude tone on all complexions)
the pigments compliment all skin tones and are perfect for fall. The selection
of deep festive red with varying undertones makes it possible to go glam,
bright or subdued to suite all occasions, moods and outfits.
In terms of lasting power these lipsticks are good! The
pigment isn’t one of those 24 hour formulas but they hold up well and fade quite
nicely. Some of the deeper hues do tend to leave a bit of a stain but it's nothing a little makeup remover can’t handle.
This limited edition set retails for $150.00 and is available at select NARS
retailers (including Sephora, Hudson’s Bay and Holt Renfrew).
