Dope packaging gets us every time

Nars dropped the Sarah Moon Limited Edition Holiday Gifting Collection for Fall and Holiday 2016. I wanted an electric guitar, but I was gifted with the Thousand Worlds Lip & Nail Set for my born day. So let's have some fun with it instead of sulking that I could be the next Jimi Hendrix.

The Product

All colors are limited edition using the Audacious™ line formula

Audacious™ Lipsticks: These go on smoothly when applied to dry bare lips

1. Codie = a brick red that hints at autumn leaves

2. Eva = a berry red that is as jewel-toned as a pomegranate

Nail Polish: These give high shine

1. La Dame en Blanc = a light not-so boring beige 

2. La Dame en Noir = a wine red that compliments any glass of bordeaux

Nars Sarah Moon Thousand Worlds Lips and Nails set hooks us up with 4 clutch and travel friendly hues

The lipsticks feel soft and glides on smoothly. BUT, don't dare eat or drink with these unless you are going for that nice halo-around-the-lips reminiscent of a 7 year old trying on her big sisters lipstick. The softness is the trade off to having Castor Seed Oil as the first ingredient, which makes the color spread onto skin. Definitely wear a trusty lip primer with this.

The nail polishes use the standard lacquer formulation, but need a few coats to get a no-streak finish. For the La Dame en Noir, by the time you are done applying enough coats to get an even finish, the color turns to a deep red (just like the bottle).

These colors can be mixed and matched. I like Eva lips with with Noir or Blanc tips. A Codie mouth works perfectly with Blanc nails.

Props to the mini sizes: they ease toting around touch-up essentials in a clutch for holiday party hopping. If you are looking to drop $49 USD on cosmetics, this might be a good pick. Dope packaging gets us every time.
