  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

  As expected, the velvety smooth lip pencil from Nars is the best. The color is somewhere between red and burgundy, which is a perfect match for fall and winter. Whether you do a gradient effect or a full lip, it looks beautiful and creates a different mood - it's a real winner.

  Cons

  Since it has a velvet-like texture, if you don't apply it with lip balm or a moisturizing lip product, your lips can feel like a canvas. It's incredibly drying. And if you forget to sharpen it, you have to put the pencil into your lips to apply it.

  Tip

  If you apply it heavily on the inner part of your lips and do a gradient effect, it looks really pretty. It transforms a color that could otherwise look harsh into a sophisticated look.

  Pros

  The deep burgundy color is beautiful and has great lasting power. It's a holy grail item.

  Cons

  It's matte, so you have to apply lip balm before and after. The pencil sharpener is expensive.

  Tip

  After the lip balm is absorbed, applying it gives great color payoff.
