NARS Tech Fashion Lip Gloss Set: Mini Review and Swatches

Hi there! I should probably either be sleeping or studying or a combination of the two. Instead though, I thought I would do a blog post!

I recently got a completely awesome gift from my friend. The NARS Tech Fashion lip gloss set! I was definitely seeing stars when I saw it. *u* I don’t believe this is sold at Sephora which I was surprised about. You can get it from NARS counters though. They retail for about $40 bucks on the website. Seems steep, but not really for NARS I guess.

I thought I would do a mini review and a swatch set of these glosses.

L-R: Shade 1, Shade 2, Shade 3, Shade 4

The first funny thing I noticed were the completely unoriginal names. Cause you know, that really looks like a ‘shade 1’ sorta colour… Here are the descriptions on the NARS website:

Shade 1: Shimmering peach sorbet
Shade 2: Shimmering sheer fig
Shade 3: Shimmering sheer raspberry
Shade 4: Sheer ruby

I took 2 different pictures. Both are in natural light, but I think the first one came out truer to colour than the second one. I do think that the second one shows a bit clearer the different between Shade 1 and Shade 2.

I have only had these glosses for a bit so that’s why I didn’t want to do a full review. Shade 4 is my favourite of the set. Awesome pigmentation and looks so pretty on the lips with not as much glitter as the others. I would say that the colour in the tube is not the true colour on lips. That could be good and bad I guess. I’m glad that Shade 2 isn’t true to the tube though, as that would be way too brown!

Overall I think these are very good lip glosses. I noticed that for the lighter colours after fading for a couple hours, the colour would disappear but the glitter remained. It looks a little funky, but nothing a reapplication didn’t fix. Something else I really liked about these glosses was that they were very hydrating. I wouldn’t use them in place of a balm, but I think they do pretty well to soften the lips.

Anyhoo there we go! Hope you enjoyed it, have a great day!

  1. Oh I know exactly what you mean. I have realized that most of my makeup collection actually is made up of minis. I don't think I've EVER finished anything other than a lip balm before, so minis make it worth it for me!

  2. Hi Katja, thanks for the follow, very much appreciated! Hope you enjoy your time on the blog! I haven't been looking to do a swap anytime soon, but thanks for the offer anyways!
