Pros
It's a complete life-saver! It's convenient to carry, high-quality, and applies beautifully.
Cons
It's not that sharpening is a hassle, but when the lip gets shaved down, my heart gets shaved down too.

Pros
The quality does not feel inferior to the price, and I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. I'm particularly pleased with how smoothly and creamily it applies while still having decent staying power! I recommend it. The Cruella shade is a muted burgundy color, but for some reason, it applies much more lightly compared to similar shades in other lipsticks - you have to layer it several times to get the full, deep color. Yet despite the deep color, it applies evenly without any patchiness, making it seem like the star student of lipsticks. I think this is a perfect product that checks all the boxes - color, texture, and staying power. The texture is truly remarkable - when you apply it with your finger, it has this soft, cloud-like glide, unlike the typical 'swish swish' of regular lipsticks. I'd say this is the kind of lipstick you have to try at least once in your lifetime - it's just that impressive. I'm of the mindset that as long as a makeup product is good, the scent doesn't matter to me. But in case anyone's curious, it has a vintage rouge-like fragrance that reminds me of playing on my mom's vanity as a child - a perfumed scent that I personally enjoy. I'm planning to repurchase this.
Cons
Since there's no staining, if you're expecting a long-lasting stained type, you may be disappointed.

Pros
I bought the darkest pencil at the duty-free shop as requested! However, it seemed a bit too cool-toned. But it's actually quite nice - it's matte yet hydrating, and doesn't emphasize flaky skin as much as I expected.
Cons
The downside is that I had to buy a pencil sharpener separately. And I accidentally bought a cool-toned red, which doesn't suit my warm undertones :( When it wears off, it leaves a burgundy-ish stain.

Pros
The lip pencil has a slightly cool and deep pink-red color. It's an attractive and uncommon red shade.
Cons
The downside is that it's a pencil that needs to be sharpened, which makes it inconvenient to use.

Pros
I liked the sophisticated deep red color. The coral color was not too dull or too vivid, so I was satisfied.
Cons
The Nars lip pencil is a renowned product, but I found that I needed to apply another lip product as a base when using this one. It was a bit disappointing (too matte).
Tip
For those with warm skin tones, it's also a good idea to apply a slightly coral blush rather than a pink blush. That way, it won't look too overpowering.

Pros
The dark and deep red creates a moody and atmospheric look. It applies very smoothly and blendably.
Cons
While it applies smoothly, it also wears down quite easily. As it's a product that needs to be sharpened, I feel bad having to sharpen it each time.

Pros
Among the 3 red-toned Nas lip pencils I have, this Cruella color is the most vibrant red. This matte lip pencil applies smoothly and evenly for a natural, soft look. The pigmentation is not too strong, but can be built up for a more intense color. For those who want a stronger, bolder look, you can apply it a couple of times. This is a color I use often on its own. When fully applied, it gives off a chic, sometimes even sexy vibe. I prefer the pencil form over regular lipsticks as it makes lining the lips easier. I think this color looks better when applied all over the lips rather than using a gradient effect.
Cons
The hassle of having to sharpen it... Feeling heartbroken when seeing the color getting shaved off along with the pencil.

Pros
The pigmentation is great, making it perfect for daily use! It has a matte yet lightweight feel, which is right up my alley ;)
Cons
The need for a separate pencil sharpener is a bit inconvenient ㅜ If my lips are dry, there is some tugging, which is a shame ㅜ The matte formula can be drying..?
Tip
Apply a lip balm before putting on the lipstick, and you'll get beautiful lips💋

Pros
The product is certainly expensive, but it applies smoothly without feeling sticky, which is a nice feature!
Cons
It has almost no staying power :( Even though the color is quite dark, it wears off almost completely when I eat.
Tip
Applying Dolce Vita and then just on the inner part of the lips looks lovely!
