I *love* NARS' Pure Matte Lipsticks! I have them in two colors and they are amazing! The lipsticks are highly pigmented and last a long time but don't feel or taste weird the way that other long-lasting lip products can. The only caveat is you really have to make sure your lips are well-exfoliated before you apply this as the pigment will collect on any dry bits of skin and accentuate them. I get so many compliments when I wear these lipsticks, I want to buy every color!
The color I have is Bankok, I saw it advertised in a magazine. I love the consistency of this product. It stays on a long time and is beautiful refreshed with a gloss. I get alot out of one application in the a.m.. I wish the price was better and I would buy it in all colors.
The lipstick color named Tashkent is very unique, matte finish and long lasting. The shade is very conservative , nude and goes well with smoky eyes make up. Feels very "tashkenty".
