Justme blogged about a sale that Nars was having so I thought it would be a great idea to try a new lipstick color.
This afternoon I receive Scarlet Empress. Can we say express shipping!
My first reaction was GASP!! I should have ordered a blush instead
The color is BOLD!
The color is BOLD!
When I applied it, I fell in love with it!!
It is so fierce!!
Below are a few pictures...(note to self: I need to learn how to smile without showing all my teeth)
I am not wearing any make up and I can't even imagine how gorgeous it will look with some eyeliner and blush...
What are some of your favorite NARS lipsticks/ lipglosses?

It looks gorgeous on you!!! Love it.
thank you my dear :)
I was inspired by Brittany from clumps of mascara, her recent post on black women can also look fab with red lips
ohhh..you look amazing.. love nars.. the strength of colour is why i buy the lip colours...
i apply straight from the stick.. no brush..
i have had many over the years..
growing up 'cosmetically' in the sade era - i have always had a good red in my bag..
am rocking shanghai express this winter...
aaaw.. marci it is so nice to hear from you. I loove me some Sade and excited that she is releasing a new CD. Which other lipsticks from NARS do you recommend? I also applied it straight from the tube.
I am adding shanghai express to my list :)
amina i like it! i can't believe it got there so fast! i am so jealous!
i hope i like mine. since i ordered that bright jungle red set that will be a big step for me as well. i will take pics
same here :)
I can't wait to see what you hauled...
I am trying more non MAC products :)
Je ne porte pas de Nars alors je ne peux commenter. Par contre, j'adore ton rouge. En passant, as-tu une recommandation pour un blush mais de couleur peau? J'aime bien mon Raizin mais l'autre jour j'ai improvisé en mettant mon fard à paupière irisé sur mes joues et j'ai aimé.
merci Karine..donc cherches tu un blush qui est un peu plus discret que Raizin..as tu essaye sweet as cocoa ou bien sunbasque?
et je fais aussi souvent cela i.e utiliser un fard a paupieres comme un fardd a joues :)
Gorgeous!
the color looks great on you! i don't own anything nars, but i was eyeing a nars lipgloss set from sephora.
Merci! Off to check those out...
