Brand: Nars
Range: Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil
Shade: Hopi
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• A glossy hydrating lipstick in a jumbo crayon pencil that gives lips a glazed finish
• Texture is lighter than a lipgloss, but tackier than a lipstick.  Contains Vitamin E and moisture-rich hyaluronic spheres for a lustruous finish.
• Available in 6 shades.  Hopi is aptly described as a honey beige with subtle golden shimmers.
• You’ll need to get a jumbo sized pencil sharpener as it gets blunt very quickly with frequent use.
• Link love: Check out Lipglossiping’s swatch of shades Hopi and New Lover.
• Verdict: This is the product for you if you’re tired of your hair causing “streaks” of lipgloss on windy days.  Also recommended for those with very thin lips, as the pencil tip helps to give extra definition and the glaze finish will accentuate your pout.
• A great concept, but personally I find it a bit too high maintenance (sharpening) and dry-kinda-sticky for my liking.
