NARS Soft Matte Concealer Review

If you are in the mood to buy some new makeup, I highly recommend buying a the NARS Soft Matte Concealer. It is the most versatile concealer I have ever come across and lasts for ages. The pot that it empty, I purchased in December 2021 and it has only just finished! I made sure that I used every last ounce of the concealer before replacing it. 

                                         

For me, NARS is a brand that has iconic products/staples. Foundations that everyone loves, a blush shade that everyone owns in some form ... if you love the brand or want to try the brand, make sure the pot concealer if first on your list to buy. 

Makeup of the Moment #1

One of my resolutions for this year is to use my makeup to the fullest, whatever the price tag. In a bid to remember to use it and keep track of the resolution, I've decided to do 'Makeup of the Moment' posts, hopefully it will showcase different products that I own and a different look (kind of).

NARS Lip Haul

It happened. I finally bought something from NARS. And of course they were going to be lips products but I am an addict after all. I went into the Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar in Liverpool which is glorious. Three floors of beauty, everything from MAC to Tom Ford it was like a dream come true. I wondered around for a little bit staring at everything but hearing my bank account cry at the same time - it was a struggle. I then came across the NARS counter and my heart was melting. Everything looked amazing the lovely assistant Shaolynn asked me what I was looking for today and I replied with 'A nude lipstick that doesn't wash me out'. 10 Minutes later she had applied a lipstick and a lip-gloss on my lips and they ended up in a shopping bag.

NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anita £24.00 - Harvey Nichols 

The NARS Audacious lipsticks are talked about a great deal and I finally understand the hype around them. First of all the packaging is out of this world, its a sleek black tube with NARS embossed on the outside and the lid is magnetic, which you could just play with for hours. Then my favourite bit is that the actual lipstick is engraved with the word NARS on. The feel of this lipstick is lovely, very creamy and luxurious.Shaolynn used a brush to apply it and I think I will be as well, just so that I don't use it all up.

NARS Lip-gloss in Chihuahua £19.00 - Harvey Nichols

After saying I will take the lipstick, she asked if there was anything else I wanted. I could have replied with 'everything' but instead asked her what she would recommend and that's how a lip-gloss became my second purchase. Its a colour that compliments the lipstick really well and both together don't wash my lips out instead make them look fuller and plump without the 'whole Kylie Jenner lip lining' that's what Shaolynn said not me. And she is 100% right, my lips looked glossy and gorgeous.

Even though it cost me £43 for just two products I couldn't be happier with them both, and I am on the rewards scheme so more points for me!

If you are ever in Liverpool go to the Beauty Bazaar it is every beauty lovers dream, I will definitely be popping back soon and looking at all the other brands they have on offer. For high end makeup I always got to HC because of the service and the very cute bags.

Sephora NARS Birthday Gift

I turned 18 last month and I am not even lying when I tell you that getting emails around/on my birthday offering me a special birthday treat gets me excited. This year one from Sephora got me really giddy, and I wasn't even expecting it! 

Sephora now ships to the UK and since the news broke out a while back I signed up to their mailer but had no idea what I was letting myself in for apart from the odd email about their latest products. Then on the morning of the big day I got an email saying that my NARS birthday gift was waiting for me! How could I resist a birthday gift from NARS? 

Be warned you can't just claim the gift you have to put actually buy something and I wanted to get the 'cheapest' yet nicest item possible so that the cost of shipping didn't scare me as much. I opted for a matte lip cream which is yet to be used, so have a look out for that very soon. I didn't pay for express delivery just the normal one and it cost me £10 on top of the lip creme that I had to buy in order to get the birthday gift, all I kept thinking was 'do it for the NARS Parie'. 

About a week later it turned up and I have fallen in love with both pencils ever since! When you hear people rave about the lip pencils from NARS they are not lying about how amazing they are, the formula, the colour pay off and the look of them is just luxurious. The lip pencils are only mini, but considering that it is a free gift I am not complaining in the slightest. I believe that they change the gift every year, so if you have a birthday in the next 5 months then you are in luck and can sign up to receive this gift, if your birthday has passed let's hope for an amazing gift next year as well!
