Customer Reviews

Overrated, I think, and it smells horrible
I kept hearing about how great this lip lacquer was that I researched and researched (makeup alley, other sites) and finally sprang the 23 bucks for Chelsea Girls.

Despite the fact that some Latina girls said it was okay for medium olive skin, it is NOT. It is way too pale for what I would call medium Latin skin tone. Made me look bloodless.

The color might be fine for a much fairer olive tone, though.

I didn't find that the texture was pleasant, and the smell is positively offputting. I don't expect lip gloss to smell like a field of flowers or bubble gum, but I do expect something that goes ON MY MOUTH and will get IN MY MOUTH, inevitably, to have some sort of appealing smell/taste. This was just chemically and nasty. Your significant other will be quite put off by this smell, I would imagine. Or anyone else that you'd want close to your lips.

Also, if you have long hair that hangs anywhere near your face, it will stick like glue to this product. Wear your hair smoothed a bit away from your lower face, or expect goo on your strands.

Not impressed, but am willing to try other NARS products, just hope they all don't smell like this.

UPDATE: I caved and bought this again in "Diablo." The smell this time wasn't as offensive--more neutral, not bothersome. Did they change the formula? The color is rich and gorgeous--a red that got touched with wine, deep and pretty, and very flattering to medium-dark olive toned skin (ie, mine). I'd buy "Diablo" lacquer again, and I would consider another color. Still not my fave gloss (I prefer MAC's lipglasses), but I thought I should mention a positive experience with a different color.

Worth the price
I love this gloss! It's thick (that's why it stays on for hours), sheer enough for a lady-like look (or you can simply put on a little more for a brighter look). Yes, it does smell different but it's not that bad (and really, I don't care about the smell). I love the shine, I love the color (I have it in Baby Doll), and the staying power. It stays put on even after I've had my lunch! It looks better if I wear it alone (no lipstick).

Lacquered Lips
I really like the look of a lacquered lip. It goes on smoothly and holds on better than a very glossy gloss and has just the right texture. "Chelsea Girls" is a color that goes with anything and gives a beautiful polish to the lips, while not having to worry about it being perfectly in place. "Klute" is a perfect purple, a neutral but pretty mauve on the lips. Nars lipsticks are the best but when you want a slighly more casual but slick look these pots of lip color are great.
