Someone on Instagram asked me earlier if I could recommend a non-matte liquid lipstick, and the first thing that popped into my head were these NARS Velvet Lip Glides.
The Velvet Lip Glides are part of the NARS permanent collection, but these three — Suck (why is it called that…?), Bait and Disruptor — are LE Nordstrom exclusive shades from the Pop Goes the Easel collection.
I think the Velvet Lip Glides are just generally BOMB. They’re super saturated, comfy, and they don’t bleed my lips dry, unlike so many other liquid lipsticks that are ridiculously drying. The formula stays a little wet on your pout. It doesn’t dry all the way down, and did I mention that they’re REALLY comfortable? They feel kinda like a moisturizing, long-wearing gloss (non-sticky), except that they last much longer.
I was wearing red Disruptor yesterday afternoon when I went to Costco to get diapers and baby wipes (WHAT-WHAT! #momlife), because that’s how I roll. I put it on right before I left the house around 5, did stuff, came back, had dinner, did more stuff, and by 8 it had faded to a subtle red stain.
These are $26 each, so they’re kinda expensive, but at least they’re fabulous.
Heck, all of the Velvet Lip Glides are fabulous! And these three are too.

I am not a fan of a matte finish, so these sound right up my street. And wearing red lips when out to do mommy stuff is a must, otherwise my red lips would never get an outing.
Nice job, fancifying Costco! 🙂 NARS is possibly running out of non-sucky names for their Lip Glides. HAHA! Seriously, though, it must be challenging not to repeat within your own lines and your competitors’ (with collections coming out non-stop).
What’s the wear time like with these? I don’t really like super matte liquid lipsticks, because they feel drying on my lips and crackly, but then glosses are either too sheer or don’t stay on my lips long enough!
Disruptor is a very pretty shade.
my easel must NEVER go pop!
;o
Disruptor is looking AWESOME!
