$26 for two 0.09-oz. tiny NARS Powermattes
When my friend/red lipstick kindred spirit Alis cuts my hair and we get to talking about red lipstick, girl, time ceases to exist. I’m not kidding, seasons will change! We’ll spend 15 minutes deconstructing minute details, like the differences between NARS Red Square and NARS Dragon Roll Girl, or MAC Russian Red and MAC Red. She’s that person in my life!
She’s precisely the kind of makeup lover the new NARS NARSissist wanted Power pack Lip kit in hot Red was made for, because, at first glance, both of the red liquid lipsticks in it probably look a lot more or less the same to a lot of peeps — but they absolutely do NOT look the same to members of #teamredlips like Alis. If you’re a red lippie lover, you probably already observed that Cherry Bomb is cooler and bluer than Don’t Stop, which is warmer and yellower.

Really, they’re absolutely different!
Cherry Bomb (new, limited edition) and Don’t stop (a re-promote from the permanent line)
The $26 kit, one of three (the others are warm Nudes and cool Nudes), is coming March 18th to Ulta. Each one consists of two tiny liquid lipsticks from the groundbreaking NARS Powermatte liquid lipstick line.
Only thing is, these diminutive versions leave my lips feeling noticeably drier than the NARS reds in the permanent collection. I rock those all the time without any issues…
Don’t Stop, a geranium red
Cherry Bomb, a candy apple red

Still, the colors are drop-dead gorgeous, so you might not mind, especially if you’re a die-hard NARSissist. After all, Cherry Bomb is new, limited edition, and exclusive to this set.
