Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil: The Great Kiss Off 2010

Today, bestselling author, Lindsey Kelk (cough, me, cough) reviews for us. Aren't we lucky? She is truly one of the most talented, wonderful and beautiful women alive. Even if we do say so ourselves. Which I suppose we kind of are doing.

So what are you reviewing for us today, bestselling author Lindsey Kelk?
I am selflessly giving my lips up to Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Roman Holiday

Tell us about its fabulousness...
Well, first;y, it's Nars which means I am predestined to love it deeply. I love Nars products in a big bad dirty way and this chunky lip pencil was no exception. As it's a pencil, it's super easy to apply but unlike a lot of other pencil colours, it isn't so drying - for the most part of the day, I was lip balm free. The matte finish is smooth and the colour lasts for a long time. I wore Roman Holiday which is a bright pale pink but a lot more wearable than you would think at first glance. Purdy.

And how does it handle itself in the smooching stakes?
It was OK. I did find that my lips started to get a little dry towards the end of the day (and after some kissing) so I had to apply some balm which had a not-so-great effect on the colour and staying power of the pencil. So I would say this is more for a night out with the girls than a night in with yo' maaaan.
