NARS roped me in with this lip pencil when I received it as a sample from Sephora for my birthday last year. I wore it on Canada Day for the first time and it lasted through a couple of meals, rain, and running around with very minimal touch ups! The colour Cruella is universally flattering and classic. I was so enamoured with the colour that I bought the full sized pencil when I ran out. It is on the pricier side, but worth it if you want your colour to last.

I love this lip stick a lot. It goes on so smoothly and lasts a really long time and it doesn't bleed out of the lips. Even though its matte, its super comfortable and doesn't dry out the lips.

These nars lip pencils are amazingg! They have a variety of colours with great formulation. Doesn't leave my lips dry or emphasize the dry areas. Love it

This Lip Pencil is really expensive, but it's good. It stays on forever (at least this colour because I have a different shade besides this one and it doesn't last as long). This shade is too dark though but if you wan to go for a bold look then this is a must have. It also dries your lips a bit :/ but you can feel free to drink and eat anything and it won't smudge or come off. :)

I got this through a friend. I am very fair and for me, it was bold. I did like the formula. There was no stickiness or fade. The colour comes on strong. The cap is loose so beware you might be digging through a drawer to find it.

Super expensive if you ask me, but so soft and smooth and so much more precise in applying than a lipstick! I use it as a lipstick and it's really nice. The only thing is I find it dries out after a while. I'm still experimenting with combing it with chapstick to avoid it. But, lovely product. Beautiful deep red color.

J'ai toujours été une fan des lèvres rouge, mais ça ne va pas bien du tout. Excepté pour ce crayon que nous recevions en 2015 pour notre anniversaire chez Sephora. La couleur est parfaite... Même pour quelqu'un qui comme moi, a de la difficulté à porter les lèvres rouge! En plus, la formule est exceptionnelle; c'est doux et léger! Je l'adore!

I received this and another colour as Sephora's birthday gift last year. Now, I'm not a fan of red lipsticks (I'm a mauve/rose girl), but I surprisingly like this colour! I think it would look great with any skin tone. I don't lay it on thick because it is a very dramatic colour -- I add it lightly for a small pop of colour. And because of that, I think this deluxe sample will go a long way. I find that the formula is quite creamy, goes on evenly, and wears evenly. It is long-wearing which I love. I think it's definitely worth its original price. I likely wouldn't purchase this colour again, but definitely other NARS lip pencils.

I received this along with another NARS lip pencil from the 2015 sephora beauty insider birthday gift. The colour is extremely gorgeous, bold and matte. The lip pencil glides on so easily and you do not really need to pack on so much because of how vibrant the product is!! I love the matte finish as I feel it adds a lot of elegance or edge depending on the type of look you are going for. Very easy to use, this lasted pretty long in comparison to other lip products I own.

I also like that you can achieve a soft natural lip colour with this lip pencil if you lightly stroke it on your lips and blend with your finger; a natural or bold look can be instantly achieved. I think this colour will suit absolutely anyone no matter what their skin tone is.

I got one of these as a birthday gift from Sephora last year and it's amazing. It's so easy to apply with the precision tip, it's smooth to apply and has a super rich colour. It's also pretty long lasting. It's a little pricier than my usual lipstick but it really is great.
