[Review] NARS Gipsy lipstick

Sorry for the über long hiatus. It seems I lacked the discipline to run a make up review blog.

I was busy pouring out my feelings at my other private blog. So let's get on with the review, this time around, I've decided on a lippie by NARS again, Gipsy. This shade has been often misspelled as "Gypsy".

The shade and packaging
As I've previously mentioned, the lipstick packaging for NARS is simple. It comes in a black and matte tube.

Gipsy is a warm berry red. It's a sheer lipstick, so it's forgiving on chapped lips and leaves the lips looking healthy and luscious.

Application and longevity
It's a breeze to apply. When I'm in a hurry in the morning (which usually happens often) I would whip this baby out and apply it with ease!

It doesn't last very long, I'd give it 2 to 3 hours maximum. That's without eating anything!

Final thoughts
This is my favourite lipstick to wear for work. It's makes my dry lips look healthy, the shade matches well with my NW25 skin tone and it doesn't have that "in your face" factor, unlike some of my other brighter lippies. I'll most likely buy this again, as I haven't found a dupe yet.

I bought my Gipsy lipstick at a NARS counter at Sephora on Istiklal Avenue, Istanbul.
