The Holiday season has finally arrived! I always love wearing reds on my lips when it’s cold outside – I always feel 10 times more chic and put together. My adoration of NARS lips products has been rediscovered with their new Audacious line and reformulation of glosses.

Layer lip products is a must for long-lasting wear. I like to purchase different shades so I can create multiple looks. For the Velvet Lip Liner, I chose a shade just a dash darker than my natural lip color. I completely fill in my lips with this before moving onto color.

The Audacious Lipstick glides onto my lips and is packed with pigment. You don’t need to constantly go over your lips to build up color. I chose Grace because I know it’s a shade I can still wear in the spring or when I’m not in such a fall/winter mood.

For Lip Gloss, I really wanted a deep rich shade. I knew I could easily layer it over the liner, lipstick or wear alone so I went with a color as dark as I could handle. Quito was what I was looking for. It’s been a while since I’ve used a gloss, let alone NARS, so the smoothness surprised me at first. I’ve always had a problem with my lips peeling, but they didn’t with this combo. Overall, I’m extremely impressed!
