First impression - wow the packaging gives a luxury vibe, simple but so elegant. The applicator is curved doe-foot - really pleasant and easy to use. The shade i received from Nars Community to test is NYMPHO -it is a cool taupe brown - it looks much darker in the packaging than on the lips. Really natural but defines lips really nicely and I believe the shade would suits everyone! The effect is so beautiful - mirror-like shine but still the glow is not overpowering. It definitely gives you the instant feeling of hydration which stays for few hours. On top of that it really takes care of the lips - I love when the makeup products are working as skin products as well - and here thanks to great ingredients ( Pomegranate Flower Complex and Extract, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E infused Raspberry Seed Oil) - it keeps the smooth and hydrated. Highly recommended
