Love it: NARS' new Satin lip pencil collection

If you’ve ever tried NARS' famed Velvet Matte Lip Pencils—Dragon Girl, Walkyrie and Bettina, especially - you’ll know exactly why I’m obsessed with them. They give you the application of a lipstick combined with the convenience of a pencil in a jumbo crayon design. The colours are gorgeous, the pigment density is insane, and the stuff does NOT move. The long-lasting, non-drying formula is enriched with emollients for a creamy texture as well, and they can be used for lining, all-over lip colour, or pairing with another lip product. No handbag should be without them!

After all that raving, to say that I was excited would be one hell of an understatement. They are equally as flawless, perfectly pigmented and long wearing, but give you a glossier, slightly shinier look than their matte sisters whilst keeping things elegant, cool and totally NARS. They are available in thirteen beautiful shades (see above), with Rikugien being my first - and definitely not my last. NARS you never disappoint!

NARS Satin lip pencils are instore now at the glorious Mecca Cosmetica - I recommend a visit ASAP.
