Hola Bonitas,

How’s everything your side?

IMBB is a blessing truly…. \m/ I am thrilled to share this beautiful cardinal red lip pencil inspired by famous the famous royal park in Central London – Hyde Park.  Please read on further to know more about NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Hyde Park.

Packaging:

This silky cardinal red lip color comes in a crayon pencil packaging with a safety cap. It does not have a sharpener included and requires sharpening after 5-6 uses.  Overall, it’s quite an user-friendly, hygienic and travel-friendly packaging.

My Experience with NARS Satin Lip Pencil – Hyde Park:

Hyde Park is a deep berry red color with hints of brown.  It gives me slightly reddish-brown translucent finishing on the lips. Needless to say, it compliments my fair skin tone very well without screaming loud on my lips. I wore it most of the time during my trip.  I hardly used sharpener in these 6-8 days even after using it for every single day at least once. I totally adore its crayon packaging over other fat chubby pencils like Bobbi Brown Art Stick.

The texture of the lip pencil is another plus point as it easily slides on my lips without settling in the fine lip crevices. It seems a semi-glossy gel like lip pencil which does not look creamy from any angle and is extremely lightweight on the lips. Moreover, it does not bleed nor feather around my lips, hence it was my most-loved lip product throughout the vacation.  However, I noticed that it is slightly translucent in nature unlike other intensely pigmented shades in this range. I mean it does hide the light black patches on the lips effectively, but I have no idea how it will fair on deeply pigmented lips.  Though it is easily buildable in 2-3 swipes without any cakey or bleeding effect, I guess its color payoff and finishing will depend on pigmented lips. As per my personal experience, it gives buildable color payoff in 2-3 swipes with nearly opaque finish – not complete though.

I love it for its deep berry red tint which looks slightly glossy for 2-3 hours in just 1-2 swipes.  After that, it leaves a stain which stays for good 4-5 hours. Overall, this lip color stays for 4-6 hours on my lips if I skip heavy meals. It easily fades away after heavy meals though it manages to stay after several tea/coffee breaks and light snacks leaving behind a soft stain which is easily removable.

This satin lip pencil is optimally hydrating – neither intensely moisturizing nor drying on my lips. It won’t accentuate dry lips though it’s always good to wear these translucent lip products over well-scrubbed lips.  I can wear it as a soft glossy tint in one gentle stroke for natural look while it can be worn with 3-4 swipes without looking cakey during day time for intense bold look. Overall, it’s a shade worth trying.

I would recommend this shade to every fair/medium skin tone gal for its soft, gentle yet intense color payoff. I just wish the packaging was retractable as I will think twice before getting it again just because it needs sharpening.

Let’s sum up the pros and cons:

Pros of NARS Satin Lip Pencil – Hyde Park:

  • Beautiful deep berry shade with subtle hint of brown which will compliment almost every skin tone.
  • Smooth and silky texture which glides effortlessly even on dry lips and feels extremely lightweight.
  • It can be worn as a sheer lip tint with one swipe and also can make it bold and intense in 3-4 swipes.
  • It does not look cakey even if we swipe it several times on the lips.
  • It does have glossy, gel-like texture.
  • Gives a pretty glossy translucent finishing in a few swipes without settling in fine lip crevices.
  • Does not bleed or feather on my lips.
  • It is slightly translucent as compared to other deeper shades in the satin range, still it conceals light pigmentation up to a good extent.
  • Manages to stay for good 4-6 hours with several tea/coffee breaks and light snacks.
  • Gets easily removed without any mess.
  • Attractive and travel-friendly packaging.

Cons of NARS Satin Lip Pencil – Hyde Park:

  • Staying power could have been better.
  • Requires sharpening and a lot of product gets wasted while sharpening.
  • I wish at this price, they could have included a sharpener as well.
  • The lip color might be tricky on pigmented lips.

Well, since this shade is easily dupable or at least available in other brands, I don’t think I would get this pencil again for I prefer mostly retractable packaging. But if you are fine, then this shade is a must-have in your kit.  I wore it almost every day during my trip and I love it though I won’t consider it again for my future shopping trips! I would like to give it 3.8/5 for its average staying power and overall performance.

So, guys our last day was dedicated to historical Philadelphia city which holds great significance in America’s freedom movement. Every sculpture, every building has its own story – be the liberty bell, carpenter’s hall or Independence hall. I am glad that nearly all historical museums are easily accessible with minimal or no charges for general public which makes it easier to learn about their historical background and routes. There is so much to learn from this old city, wow!
