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
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
Wow! The color tone is perfect for autumn warm tones-! Before discovering this product, I would use the NARS Dolce Vita as a base and then layer a beige/coral-toned lip from another brand on top. But after finding Valkyrja, I've been just applying this color directly without a base, and it's been great-! The color is a perfectly toned-down beige-brown mix - so beautiful! The texture is also super smooth and glides on effortlessly, and the lasting power seems quite good too-!
Cons
There's not a single thing I'm disappointed about - the color, lasting power, and pigmentation are all exactly what I love!

Pros
The phrase 'lipstick of life' is used in this context. I usually apply lipstick very carefully as I feel that only bold lipstick suits me well, but this one is not too much and it's just right! Everyone has been asking me what it is, saying it looks pretty. The staying power is really good, and I'll use it until I die!
Cons
My lips are a bit too dry, but given this color and the staying power, I can overlook that flaw~
Tip
You should take good care of your lips and apply it properly to make it a bit less drying

Pros
Wow, this is the lip I was looking for! It has a deeper brown tone and a more mellow feel than Dolce Vita, but it's just so nice. It's on the matte side and has decent lasting power!
Cons
The Nars sharpener is a bit rough ^ㅠ^ And the black body seems to accumulate a lot of product.
Tip
It applies well both as a full-lip color and when blended out for a gradient effect.

Pros
This is a life-changing rating! It's between a fall muted~warm tone, but no one will say it's not pretty when you wear this. It really brings out the vibe, has a retro feel, and the color payoff is amazing. It's the best lip product I have in terms of longevity - I can wear it in the morning, eat a meal, and drink beverages without needing to reapply.
Cons
The fact that you have to sharpen it often! I tried to sharpen it with a Bobbi Brown sharpener, but it almost ruined it, so I went to the NARS store and bought their dedicated sharpener.
Tip
Since it's a pencil, it's quite matte, but if you make sure to exfoliate your lips and then apply a lip balm before using it, it works even better ^^

Pros
I rarely wear makeup, as I have atopic skin, so the overall complexion of my face is largely determined by the lip color I choose. This product is considered my 'life-changing' color! I don't usually like glossy lips, but my lips are so dry that I often end up buying lip products and then discarding them after using them less than five times because I don't like them. This matte product has shown me that matte products don't necessarily cause flaky lips. The color payoff is great, and it lasts well. After eating a meal or drinking, a quick reapplication helps keep the color looking fresh.
Cons
The pencil format can be a hassle to sharpen, I know. But the convenience of not needing a brush also has its advantages compared to lipstick. However, in the summer, there's a tendency for the product to become a bit crumbly when applied. And the price is quite high considering the amount of product you get, plus there's the risk of the unsharpened portion breaking if you drop it.
