Tis' the season for make-up gift sets, and I've had my eye on the NARS Digital World lip pencil coffret ever since it came out, I simply couldn't resist the wait until Christmas and decided to treat myself. It comes displayed in a beautiful acrylic box which could be used for further storage, and placed inside are five of the cult NARS lip pencils. 2 Velvet matte and 3 original satin finishes.
The lip pencils themselves are soft and buttery. They glide onto the lips, are rich and opaque in their colour deposit even the matte pencils don't leave your lips like a prune. With this moisture in the original pencils though comes a longevity issue and though they don't end up smeared across your face in a matter of minutes they don't last hours like their matte stick sisters. Depending on what activity you're partaking in they're going to need an hourly-ish mirror check. *Added bonus they taste lovely on the lips*
Perfect for anyone on the go, as the pen like applicator gives a precise outline for the perfect pout finish. They are so cute and dinky, fitting perfectly in your purse. However at 9.5cm you still get a vast amount of product considering a full sized pencil can set you back £18.
Colour wise I'm in love, for a make-up addict it is the perfect gift and for anyone building up their collection it has every essential colour. (Yes, essential)
Starting from left to right from the bottom picture, is Descanso a pinky beige which is the typical 'your lips but better' shade.
Torres del Paine is a beautiful peachy pink with orange undertones.
Iberico is a matte orangey red (very similar to MACs Lady Danger) and would look amazing in summer.
Yu is a hot pink with blue undertones.
Cruella is a dark berry matte shade which is a winter essential and again has blue undertones to make your teeth look super white.
Exclusively to Space NK and retailing at £32 I personally think that the set is VERY worthwhile. Because you can never have too many NARS Lip Pencils in your life, right?
