I got this a long while back, totally forgot I had it and just re-discovered it. I don't know why I forgot about this in the first place! I LOVE these NARS lip lacquers...aside from the fact that I feel like they are a little "high maintenance" since I need to tote a little lip brush around. But it's worth the hassle. These are very tacky and really adhere to your lips. I also find these more moisturizing that some other lipsticks/lipglosses I've tried which is a plus. I also like the finish of these, not too glossy/slick/wet looking..just a nice natural sheen.
The color is a little intimidating in the pot..a corpse-like mauve-y silvery nude gray color. Once applied it gives my lips nice dimension, glow and makes my fairly pigmented lips a nice natural yet polished color. There's a decent amount of product in these as you only need a little. Make sure when you apply not to grab too much product on your brush because too much of vagabond does = corpse!!! Also dont worry if you feel like it's not spreading nicly as I think it needs the warmth of your lips to warm up for a second before it just glides onto your lips.

I am so sad that I can't find this at Sephora as they have taken this color out of the collection since they minimized it to bring in other collections. I am in LOVE with this lip lacquer and even more so with the texture, the color and the packaging. I think using a lip brush is the best way to apply any lip products so I don't mind that at all. I can't smell anything funky about this product so I don't know what everyone else is complaining about! I'll be buying a backup of this for sure!!

OK. Since the dawn of my lip gloss wearing days, I have adored Harlow by NARS, which is this same exact color, except in the lip gloss tube. This seems like it will last longer, and the formula is a little thicker. I don't see what the fuss is over the smell. You people must be bloodhounds to let a little thing like that keep you from the beautiful payoff of this gloss. It is divine. When I wear it, I feel a little Sopranos glam come out. This color is perfect for those with pigmented lips that want to tone down. Its reflective and luminous. Love it. (I also wear it over MAC Hue lipstick which creates a lovely babypink nude lip)

I like this color a lot. I understand the complaints about the smell, it is a bit gross, but it doesn't bother me to the point of being unable to wear it. The little tub is so cute, but not the most hygienic or easiest to apply in that format. I actually am returning it, but only because I discovered that on me, it looks very much like Bobbi Brown's Tinted Lip Balm in Champagne, which I already have, and I'm more likely to use the balm. But the color is great!

This is the most beautiful shimmery beige lip color I've seen, a not too pale pinked mocha with slight slight shimmer and awesome texture. Problem is the smell is DISGUSTING, walking around with this on your lips is like walking around with a stinky smelly mouth, I'm not sensitive to smells but this is so gross, such a shame cause I love the color so much.. If anyone knows of any dupes please let me know.

I really like this gloss. Definitley not alone but looks great over a lipstick or another gloss or by itself with a lipliner! I like it over eros to tone down the berry shade and give it extra shine!

This is a great light beige taupe color with shimmer that I admired at the counter for a couple of months before buying. But I'm glad I finally did as this color works for me. Its a cooler toned shade and I reach for it when I want to tone down my natural lip color or if I'm playing up my eyes; it balances things out nicely. It has decent staying power. The plastic-like smell some people mentioned seems slight to me and fades quickly once on. Its a little bit goopy, but I think its lasts pretty well for a gloss. And I love the little frosted glass pot with the traditional Nars black cap.

This is another NARS lip lacquer that I LOVE. I'm so surprised I don't hear more about it on the boards. This is a pink/mocha mix with a touch of opalescence (teeny tiny blue-green sparkles) shot through it. The lacquer is not sparkly at all and is definitely something you can wear to work. Don't be scared off by the teeny sparkles in it. You can't see them, they just serve to catch light and they do a good job of it!
Vagabond can be worn alone or over lipstick. It looks wonderful on my NC20 skin and I will definitely be repurchasing.

I like the lacquers! I really have problems with scent in lipglosses, but I really do not identify the plastic smell at all! Although I'd rather have a wand gloss, the pot does not bother me at all. This is a really nice bronze color, although I did have a bit of a problem because this is a very frosty shade! It seemed to flatter my skin though, and I will repurchase. (LLL skin with semi-pigmented lips)

I really enjoy the NARS Lip Laquers. i have several and have not had a problem with the scent at all and i am very sensitive to scent! The burnt plastic smell people complain about is just a slight plastic scent that fades within seconds. Retails for $20 and comes in an annoying pot which demands a lip brush. I much prefer a squeeze tube. But anyways, the consistency is thicker than most glosses but not overly sticky. The color is also a lot more pigmented. Lasts several hours and through a light meal. Vagabond is a cool beigey bronze color that is very much accentuated with the lipliner you choose. Can be more pink with a pink liner or more brown with a brown liner, etc. Its a very chameleon like shade! I love these and will continue to purchase.

Actually was brave enuf to try this out of the pot in the store (KOOTIES!)Not sure about this one on me its like a clear gloss with some shimmer to keep it from looking flat. Worn alone it does nothing for me (NC20) but mixed in with another color could tone down a too dark color or give boring shade some ooompf. A good natural clear gloss for someone with pale coloring -- if you dont mind paying $20.

I RIS, and I am glad I didn't buy it. This is the 2nd NARS Lacquer I have gotten and disliked, and probably the last. First of all, the color is too light and frosty for anyone I can imagine. It's a shimmery taupe with a hint of green that looks very pretty in the pot. The pot is also a little annoying too. But my major issue is the TASTE. It tastes so cheap and plasticky, and when a gloss is this expensive, you expect more. I will probably end up swapping this away.

This gloss is great! :) it's a shimmery beige but on my lips it's very very sheer. it looks like a sheer wash of beige and i can still see my lips underneath. very gorgeous very glistening.

I saw this on the MA and really liked the natural, yet glistening look it gave to her lips. So I went ahead an bought this. And then I swapped it away! I hated how this stank so bad, like plastic, and also how it really didn't do anything....it really is a lacquer! I like to be able to put my lips together and feel a creamy lipgloss, versus Lip Lacquer where you can't move your lips at all! A nice colour if you have pigmented lips, but other than that can look a bit washed out IMO.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lip gloss. The texture is fine with me, in fact I like it a little sticky. ;-). I do need to get a small portable lip brush for on the go, its not fun to apply it with my fingers. This color is wonderful, I also have this lacquer in sweet charity, but I prefer this color. The smell taste doesn't bother me like some, in fact I don't smell or taste it at all. This gives my lips such texture and luscious shine! I apply it with my cargo lip base, and it lasts for hours...which is a feat for me since most lip colors doesn't last more than a half hour on me. I gave the packaging a 3, just because I would prefer a wand or something to apply it.

i absolutely loved the color and consistency of this product. the only problem was, for me, the smell and taste of it was AWFUL! that's really the only reason i wouldn't buy it again. but if that doesn't bother you, then this is an awesome gloss.

a MA put this on me in april when i was out with a friend, and i loved it. it is not a color i would have tried on: 'lighter than lip' colors usually wash me out. but it was so beautiful on me. i would have bought it then and there, but my friend was being kind to me and quickly reminded me that not only do have 4 other nars pots, but i also have dozens of lipglosses that have been banished to the back of some drawer in my apt. but after 3 months of craving, and trying it on over lipsticks as well as on its own, i bit the bullet. it now lives very happily in my bag and is well used every day. the color has a light brown base with cool silvery-lilac-green shimmer in it. definately makes ppl look at your luscious lips.

YUUUUMMMMYYYYY color!!!! I almost passed this one without thinking twice because I'm PPP and usually like to stay away from anything bronzey. But this is so beautiful, it cuts the pink a little, making it the most seductive neutral I have ever seen. I snatched this up pronto!

I love this color because it is very shimmery and worn alone is almost a clear with crystals color, and over another lipstick or liner offers great shine. I only wish it was in tube form and not the pot b/c I hate bothering with lipbrush or using fingers, but if it were in a tube, I'd rebuy(also its $$$$)
