This product goes on smooth and dry! It takes around 15 - 20 mins to set, and then leaves no transfer, what so ever!
The colour and pigmentation are spectacular. My number one favorite is Dragon girl. I do also love dolce vita and cruel. I love that it works both as a lip liner and as a lip stick. The best part is that it drys matte and does not dry out my lips at all.

This lip pencil/stick goes on very creamy and is really pigmented. I'm impressed with how long it lasted too! I was able to eat and drink with it on and it still looked amazing afterwards. Another bonus is that it didn't leave my lips feeling dried out, which is what usually happens when I wear matte or long lasting formulas. This is pricier than most lip products but worth the splurge!

I received this in the Sephora Beauty Insider Birthday Gift. The shade I have, Cruella isn't something I would have had the guts to buy for myself before, but I'm SO glad to have it now!
This lip pencil has an amazing formula. Even though it's matte it feels creamy and soft. It's definitely velvety, and very comfortable to wear, unlike some matte lip products. The pencil format makes it easy to apply perfectly, even without lip liner, and it's convenient for throwing into your purse (it does have to be sharpened though, instead of twisting up).
The shade Cruella goes on smoothly and very pigmented. It seems like a pretty universally flattering red, and it's definitely one of those shades that makes me feel more confident!
I absolutely love the scent of this - it reminds me of red Lifesaver candy, kind of tart and sweet. It isn't too strong and I don't think it's flavoured, but the scent alone made me love this product as soon as I opened it!
I haven't worn this for more than an hour without removing it myself, but during that time it wore beautifully. It did transfer a tiny bit, but the colour stayed strong on my lips. When I removed it, it definitely stained my lips a tiny bit, so I have no worries about wearing this out and relying on it to look good!
Every NARS product I've tried so far has become one of my loves, and this is no exception. The Velvet Matte lip pencil is definitely worth the price, and I will for sure be trying more of them in the future.

This is my favourite lipstick. I don't have many but out of all of them I wear this one the most. It's a matte red that has a long lasting stay to it. I could go out and at the end of the night it still looks like I just put I on. I do, do touch ups if I'm eating or have a drink but other then that it's an amazing lip stick.

Received this from Sephora as a Birthday gift. Very hard for me to find a good lipstick that actual stays on.. And this does the trick. I have looked at the price of this to purchase, and it seems reasonable.. Will re purchase when I run out

I received Nars velvet matte lip pencil in Cruella at Sephora for my free birthday gift and I am in love!

I have never tried a NARS product as I am a huge MUF and kat Von D fan.

I have to say this goes on smooth like butter and stays on the entire day. The only matte that doesn't dry out my lips, make them crack, peel or bleed.

I am very impressed!

Now I just need to save all my pennies to buy a tube! Until then, I will use this for special occasions.. Very high end look! Love it!!

Love this lipstick! It goes on so smooth, and the colour has really staying power. I received 2 colours from Sephora for my birthday . the colours I have are Rikugien & Cruella. Rikugien is is sofp pink/brown colour and is very creamy. Cruella is a red shade and it is a stain, but feels very nice and the red is actually a very complimentary shade!!! I will be buying these !

I got two freebies for my Birthday from Sephora and I'm very impressed. So smooth and stay on pretty well.

This is my favorite lip stick! I love the range of colors and don't like when my lips are shiny and sticky so this product is perfect. It lasts a long time and I only need a single touch up throughout the night, if that.

I love these matte lip pencils. Sex Machine is my favourite one of all. It's easy to use and nice creamy texture with beautiful pigments. I have Paimpol as well, don't recommend it since the light pink colour doesn't really show up much and I need to put lots of layers.
