Pros
🎡 Honest Review from My Own Pocket 🎡 ️🙇🏻‍♀️ Before reading the review, please be aware that this is the highly subjective opinion of a non-expert ❗️ As people may have different views, please keep that in mind when reading ❗️🙇🏻‍♀️ If you're a fan of MLBB (My Lips But Better) colors, you'll definitely love this product. The color is incredibly satisfying. The application is very smooth. It goes on creamy but dries down to a matte finish. For those of you who prefer matte lipsticks but are concerned about emphasizing flaky lips, this product won't be an issue! I personally really enjoy this type of application.
Cons
Having to sharpen it is a bit of a hassle. And each time I sharpen it, I feel like I'm losing a bit of the product, which is a bit frustrating considering the price point of this item.

Pros
This is definitely the most suitable shade among the MLBB (My Lips But Better) options. It would be especially great for fall. The application is also smooth.
Cons
I wouldn't recommend this for those who find sharpening lipsticks to be a hassle. It might also be a bit irritating for those with very dry lips or excessive lip flakes.

Pros
Uncommon and beautiful color tones, matte and cleanly applied finish The pencil-type format allows for more delicate application, which I like.
Cons
Since it's a sharpened type, the more you sharpen it, the more of the product gets used up, which is disappointing.

Pros
It has a nice glide and the color payoff is great. It applies smoothly and evenly. Plus, the longevity is good. If you're looking for a more hydrating, satin-like finish, you may want to avoid this as it is quite matte. Exfoliating your lips is a must~
Cons
The price is a bit on the higher side, and the quantity is relatively small. Most importantly, despite being a lip product, the ingredients are a bit disappointing. That seems to be the case with many foreign products, unfortunately.
Tip
I like to apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly on top. In the winter, the extreme matte finish can feel a bit drying on my lips.

Pros
I purchased this set from the Sephora in Hawaii, which included the Dammed and Valkyrie mini sizes. The application is smooth and nice. It's not too matte, which I like. Interestingly, even though they're from the same line, the Dammed seems a bit more matte. It doesn't emphasize flakiness much.
Cons
This is a color for the fall/winter. I'm a summer light, and the Valkyrie is an autumn deep, haha. But me as the Valkyrie... This color makes me sigh the moment I apply it. Honestly, even after getting my color tone diagnosed, I still end up buying the colors I like. My personal favorite lip colors are mostly in the winter dark range.^^ But this color is really... no. This is truly an autumn-y color, making me look at least 17 years older the moment I put it on. I feel like I've seen my 40-year-old self in advance.

Pros
If I had to pick just one life essential, it would undoubtedly be Valkyrie. It has a slightly dark MLB vibe, but it's a perfect fit. Whenever I wear this, I always get compliments on how pretty my lips look. The color payoff, application, and longevity are all great. Out of all Nars products, this is my absolute favorite.
Cons
The ingredients aren't the best, but if you start scrutinizing the ingredients in color cosmetics, your options become too narrow. It's a pencil-type, so you have to sharpen it. As a high-end product, it's on the pricier side.

Pros
It applies smoothly and comfortably The scent is also not at all irritating.
Cons
The color is more difficult than I expected. It's really a brown color So I apply this on top of the Dolce Vita base and only on the inner part of my lips.

Pros
Applies smoothly and is frequently used In my opinion, the color payoff is prettier than Dolce Vita and it's suitable for using as a gradient base or for daily wear.
Cons
I often use the Nars lip pencil, but I don't particularly like the form The pencil shape is a bit disappointing...

Pros
Smooth application For first-time users, applying too much pressure can cause it to go on heavily. Gently dab it on while tapping lightly. The color is a mix of dried rose and brown tones, but if it seems a bit too much, you can lay a light pink base first and then apply the main color on top - it looks so pretty!❤️❤️
Cons
As everyone knows, you have to sharpen it when it's all used up^^.. I wish it just came out without having to do that........
