I'm not wowed by the audacious lipstick. Its good and has a great variety of shades- you can definitely find a shade you like but for the price, its not worth it. Its $44 per pop over here in...

Love the color of "Anita." It's the perfect MLBB that is pinkier than NARS' Dolce Vita but has a satin finish that leaves a stain. The color is a deep dusty rose with good staying power that...

I really wanted to love this lipstick, I was hoping unlike all the other formulas that NARS has put out that this would *not* oxidize. But it did. I bought Audry and lovely plum red, very soft and...

I'll get the bad out of the way first, since it's the most obvious and only negative aspect of this lipstick - the price. At $32, it is extremely pricey. In fact, I had initially held off on...
