NARS Lippy Love; Mayflower & Carthage

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all having a good weekend? I'm having a pretty relaxing one and loving it! Just wanted to quickly share my love for two new NARS lippy's! Both are part of their 2011 Summer Collection and I have been wearing them lots. One lovely natural shade and one bold hot pink one! Check them out:

♥ NARS - Mayflower Lipstick (Limited Edition) - £17.50 

Mayflower is described as a sheer raspberry lipstick, that delivers subtle colour with a shimmery finish. It’s semi-sheer, so while it doesn’t deliver opaque color (nor is it supposed to), it does still add color to the lip, giving lips a subtle, rosy raspberry color with a lightly shimmered, glossy finish. The lipstick has a lovely creamy texture that is quite moisturizing.  Mayflower is the perfect all day lipstick for a day at the office but also great to go with a bold dark smokey eye for a night out!

♥ NARS - Carthage Pure Matte Lipstick - £18.50

Carthage is named for the string of cities that line the Gulf of Tunis and is described as a matte, hot pink hue that saturates lips with rich, bold color. It has a slight sheen to it so I wouldn’t say it’s completely matte, and its a really rich, vibrant fuchsia pink with blue undertones. The colour coverage is excellent and its very long lasting, about 4 hours on me. The pure matte lipstick creates a sophisticated, eye-catching statement that’s both timeless and modern.  I love wearing this with simple natural eye makeup with some black liquid liner and lots of mascara! Because the lipstick is so bold, it makes any simple outfit and makeup a stand-out look :)

Have you tried any of these lippy's? If not, I definitely recommend checking them out online or at your local NARS counter! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :) xoxo
