glossy pout

My sister and I both bought this in Happy days which is a coral color with a light shimmer. These are similar to Clinique's chubby sticks but a little bit more pricey. I believe they are about twenty four dollars at sephora. I like to throw this in my purse and apply it throughout the day. It goes on smoothly and leaves my lips nice and soft with a nice gloss. It also gives a good amount of p...read moreigment. This color is perfect for the year of tangerine tango and would look good on a number of people. Great product. I only wish it would twist up instead of needing a pencil sharpener which isn't always readily available.

Easy to apply

I received a free sample for my birthday and decided to use it instead of a lip balm. I was amazed on how smoothly this product pencil applied on as a crayon and the color which is Mysterious Red really shows on a medium brown African American woman not dull or over powering. I also notice that the product does not screw up but you will need to sharpen it to increase more lipstick. That is the only negative I have with this product. I really enjoy wearing the color

I love this stuff!

I must start by saying that I wish you could find this product in more stores. I had to look everywhere to find it and only found it at Macy's. Accessibility of the product sucks. Now, onto the positive: The makeup artist who did my makeup for me on my wedding day used this on me - and she used the color "never say never." This is a pinkish color that I NEVER would have selected for myself (being...read more that I am a natural redhead with brown eyes - AKA ALL warm tones). But, it looked fantastic!! I ended up getting another stick or that color as well as a stick of a more neutral color - once I FINALLY found it (on Amazon). It's a bit on the pricey side, but the stick really does last for a very long time, so IMO, it is worth it. I LOVE the pencil as opposed to a tube. It comes off just like a soft creamy lipstick, but you can define more accurately with the pencil. It's not thin like a liner pencil, so you don't have to scribble to fill in. I have been using the same stick for months - although not every day - and I haven't had to sharpen it yet. One stick really goes a long way. It lasts on the lips for a fairly long time without drying them at all. In fact, it adds a bit of moisture. I wouldn't necessarily call it "gloss," however. It comes in a great variety of awesome colors too. I would definitely suggest giving it a try :)

Love the product; hate the package.

I would buy these in so many shades if NARS improved the packaging. This is not a twist up pencil as some other brands have but one you have to sharpen. Here is the problem 1) you waste a TON of product and 2) who carries a lip pencil sharpener with them in their clutch?

"Damned"

The texture of this lip pencil is good. I used a clear lip liner. It really is too dark for me, but it was used by Kristin Bauer (Pam) in TrueBlood which made me want. Just another cute product for the drawer!
