Hello everybody,
This review will be on the NARS lip gloss in the shade “Belize.”
Product Description:
A moisturizing lip gloss that supports anti-aging and imparts long-wearing, sophisticated shine and stunning color for subtle, everyday glamour. NARS Lip Gloss assists with anti-aging and lavishes lips in a full spectrum of shades. Nourishing ingredients moisturize, leaving lips smooth and soft. The doe-foot applicator glides smoothly with comfort and precision for long-lasting wear.
Price: $26

My Experience with NARS Belize Lip Gloss:
Packaging: A classic see-through tube with a black cap with NARS printed all around it. It has a skinny doe-foot wand which makes application very easy on-the-go. You can see the color of the gloss from outside, hence that makes it very easy to find the shade you are looking for if you have a couple of different glosses from the same range.
Shade: The shade “Belize” is described as a pink mauve with golden flecks of shimmer. The shimmer does not feel gritty on the lips, on the contrary, I can’t feel them at all. They are not very notable unless someone looks at your lips very closely but they do help give the gloss a beautiful 3D shine.
The gloss itself isn’t very pigmented. It applied sheer hence you can still see the shade of your lips through it which may be a problem for pigmented lips. The shade looks mauve in the tube, but applies dusty warm pink on the lips. I do feel this shade of pink looks very natural and flattering on light-medium skin tones. It goes well with most day-to-day looks and natural no-makeup looks. It makes the lips look healthier and smoother.
The texture of this lip gloss is not very thick and not too sticky too. It sits comfortably on the lips and my lips feel hydrated throughout the wear.
Staying Power: The wear time is average for a lip gloss, 4-5 hours in total, but after 2-3 hours, the shine wears down considerably.
Fragrance: It does not have a noticeable strong fragrance.
Overall, I do find this shade to be very flattering with my skin tone and it is good for everyday gloss. It is a little on the expensive side as most NARS products are. I do like this gloss enough to recommend it.
Pros of NARS Belize Lip Gloss:
- Lightweight on the lips.
- Non-sticky.
- Flattering everyday shade.
- Shimmer is not gritty.
Cons of NARS Belize Lip Gloss:
- Expensive.
- Not very pigmented, applies sheer.
- Average wear time, nothing outstanding.
