Huh! I almost just called this shade “Dragon Roll,” and I do that every single time I wear it…
Why!?
Contrary to what my brain thinks, this is not a delicious sushi roll. It’s a lipstick from NARS called Dragon Girl.
I guess I just really love sushi?! (I do.)
Dragon Girl is in the NARS permanent line of Velvet Matte Lip Pencils — ya know, the ones that look like a crayon that you sharpen.
They have a matte finish, but it’s not just any old basic, flat matte finish. It has a kick to it — a light stain that gives it a softness that you don’t get from truly flat mattes. I think it makes it more approachable.
But that’s not even the main reason I’ve been all about this shade for years. Seriously, it’s my favorite NARS red, and NARS is well-known for their reds.
I’m just sayin’. There’s so many good ones!
Dragon Girl is a chameleon color because, depending on what I’m wearing on my eyes, cheeks, and even my clothes, it can look very different. Sometimes it’s a blue-red. Sometimes it’s a pink-red, or an orange-red, or sometimes it’s got a berry tone. It’s a red that works with everything, and for a desert island challenge, if I had to pick just one NARS red to wear ’til forever arrived, it would be Dragon Roll —
Girl! Dragon Girl. I did it again… 🙂
Yeah, it’s super smooth. Opaque, too.
Great, now I’m craving a dragon roll…
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I LOVE Dragon Girl! It’s one of my top reds! I’ve been wearing it for years!
A sushi roll was not really what sprung to mind for me. More Khaleesi, hehe. Love your little dragon girl in training there, what a beautiful photo. And the red looks stunning on you, of course, it does look really smooth and velvety.
Yes, Sushi! But like Melissa said I do think of Khaleesi and GOTmore than of food when I read the Name. And that shows how much I love that Show…
I’m not a fan of reds. I don’t know why but whenever I wear one, I think I look clownish.
Whwnever I hear anything with dragon, I think of GoT too.
I can’t believe how big the baby’s getting. She’s adorable!
Oooh Dragon Girl look gorgeous! Such a statement red! Connor looks so adorable.
Also, now I want a dragon roll!
GAH SO CUTE!!! OMG she’s a sweetheart!!
And that lipstick is AMAZING on you 😉
And in reference to your Caudalie post and shower tears….My youngest is 4 now and we had a very stressful pregnancy with her. I still remember when we got some very concerning test results from our ultrasound and it brings tears to my eyes to this day. One of those things that i’ll never forget and never get over but it makes me love that little spark plug SOOOO much.
Ohhh Karen thanks (LOL). I just realized this is one I need to pick up and I STILL don’t know why it isn’t in my arsenal. I remember trying it on. I remember loving it. I don’t remember why I don’t have it. (I always think of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo lol.) Happy Countdown to National Lipstick Day. 😉
What a little doll Connor is! And she really resembles her mom, too! Great picture of you both!
I was in such a grouchy mood this morning until I saw the photo of you in Dragon Girl red and Connor. She’s just so precious and adorable. Thanks for kicking me out of my crabby mood.
I love everything about NARS lip pencils, except that you have to sharpen them. Really wish they were twist up.
Conor looks adorable. And I love you in red (both lips and tee).
Thanks, Marina. She’s no longer my teacup baby, wah! But we’re having a lot of fun. I hope everything on your end is great! How’s your summer been so far?
It’s awesome! Thanks for asking, it has been great but very busy so can’t wait to go on a holiday next week x
Oooh, where are you going?
