I received the NARS mini explicit lipstick in the shade 803 Body Heat as I am part of the NARS community. You receive 1.2g of product and it has a shelf life of 24 months once opened. The product is vegan and cruelty free. The outside packaging for the lipstick is predominantly black with white writing, which helps the product stand out and fits the NARS colour scheme. The lipstick is encased in a black lipstick holder making it sleek and “NARS” is written on the side which is reflective in the light. As this is the mini version of the lipstick it’s great to try out new lipstick shades and a perfect fit for your handbag or clutch.Upon opening the product, I noticed the lipstick has a precision-tip bullet which helps define and contour your lips for a sculpted look. Body heat is a tea brown colour which is the perfect shade for autumn/winter. The lipstick is soft, comfortable on the lips and has a satin finish. Also, the formulation contains smoothing Rosehip Seed Oil and Hyaluronic Acid to lock in moisture. There are 28 shades in the collection ranging from red to berry. The lipstick is lightweight and gives medium-to-full coverage depending on the look you are going for.I would recommend this product to my friends and family if they are looking for a lipstick that has instant colour pay off and is smudge resistant. There are 28 shades in the collection; suitable for all skin tones and ages, so it’s perfect for everyone.
