Spring Corals

I'm usually one who doesn't go crazy with the lip color, but lately I feel as though I should take the plunge.  I've been experimenting with a lot of corals.  I know- you're probably thinking- Coral, Jasmine really, that's a plunge?  I'm typically one who plays up my eyes and leaves my lips a little subtle or nude.  So for me, it's slow progress.  Although, I have been known to randomly bust out a flash of red lipstick here and there (not my mom's favorite look on me). I thought going coral would look gorgeous with the bold colors and floral prints coming in this season! If you've seen or know me, you'd know I'm quite lame when it comes to color in my wardrobe.  A bold move for me was buying eggplant purple toned pants. I know- I'm LAME. In terms of my Indian clothing- I guess I'm an array of colors. After analyzing my closet, I decided to venture out and attempt to add some color to both my wardrobe and lipsticks.

So I bought some new products from NARS- I love this stuff! The reason being, I find it moisturizing, especially in Alberta's dry climate.  Lip balms are a must have for me, especially in winter! But the weather is gorgeous and so are my lips!

Last week, I purchased 3 new products from NARS Cosmetics:
1) NARS Satin Lipstick in Casablanca- This lipstick has a lustrous shine to it and is the definition of coral. The lipstick itself is $30 and available at Sephora, The Bay, and Holt Renfrew (some locations).  It was "Best Overall Lipstick” 2010 & 2011 InStyle "Best Beauty Buys”. Super moisturizing.
2) NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita- How can I describe this color? Well it's a bit of a dusty rose mixed with a tinge of coral and smidgen of red. So this matte pencil goes on very smooth and doesn't feel dry.  The vitamin E in the product provide nourishment, and the silicons keep this product on. It's also $30 and well worth the purchase.  But you will need a pencil sharpener large enough for this lip pencil! 
3) NARS Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Gold Digger- This a sparkly peach shimmer lip gloss and also $30. NARS Cosmetics actually just released this new line of lip glosses.  Essentially, this lip gloss has an anti-aging component that also plumps.  I'm cursed with itty bitty little lips, so I definitely need something extra for a larger pucker!

I applied the velvet matte lip pencil first, then the lipstick and lastly, just a bit of the gloss.  Those are the 3 products I've used to get my coral look! So far, I've heard good things about my lips.  Please comment- let me know if you've used these products or are tempted too. Hope everyone had a Happy St. Patrick's Day and has recovered from the hangovers! The most green I wore was on my nails. I know- LAME! Take care.
