NARS Lovin’ Lips, Hot Kiss, Erotic Adventure Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Lovin' Lips
NARS Lovin’ Lips Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The texture was lightweight, thin without being clingy, and was comfortable to wear. There was a smidgen of product that sat in my deeper lip lines, but it wasn’t noticeable in person and didn’t get worse over time. The lipstick wore nicely for four and a half hours and felt just barely hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$26.00/0.12 oz. - $216.67 Per Ounce
NARS has reformulated their core lipstick range, which now includes 72 shades across three finishes: matte, sheer, and satin. The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly and evenly with a light feel" that is "long-lasting" and "resistant to bleeding and feathering." The sheer finish has "subtle, sheer color that shines," while the satin finish has "creamy rich color" and the matte finish has "intense color with a velvety finish."
The matte finish has a very thin, featherweight feel to it, but they didn't feel clingy or too prone to dragging during application, though they were definitely a firmer texture in the tube. There was enough glide from the inclusion of dimethicone (first ingredient for the matte finish) that went on evenly, felt velvety but didn't feel as powder-like as some of the other more silicone-heavy matte lipstick formulas that have been released in the last couple of years. Most shades were pigmented and nearly opaque to opaque. The wear ranged from three to six hours with deeper, richer shades staying on a bit longer and leaving slight stains. They were comfortable to wear but felt more non-drying than particularly hydrating.
The satin finish has more slip, feels thicker (though not actually thick or heavy) compared to the matte finish, and of course, there was subtle to light shine/sheen. They applied smoothly, comfortably, and for the most part, went on evenly and didn't sink noticeably into my lip lines but there was some variance between shades. They were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage with four to six-hour wear that was lightly hydrating.
The sheer finish had coverage that ranged from semi-sheer to true medium coverage but most had some translucency to them, which gave them a sheerer finish. I found most of the shades I tried were buildable to some degree. The texture was a bit firmer, but they felt more emollient and "melted" a bit more against my lips than I recall the original line of lipsticks doing. Some shades applied well with even application and were flattering on, but there were a few that sank more noticeably into my lip lines. This finish tended to wear between three and five hours.
I don't have many of NARS' original lipsticks in my stash (I have mostly Audacious as they haven't been releasing many in the core range) to compare to. The matte finish was definitely thinner, more matte, and had a velvetier look on lips compared to the original which had a subtle sheen to it. The satin finish seemed a bit more pigmented and not quite as luminous/glossy as the previous formula, while the sheer finish was creamier, more emollient, and was easier to apply. It didn't feel like a vastly different formula, but it felt a bit easier to work with (smoother, more emollient but still lighterweight and thin, far less slip than any of the Audacious range) and was more comfortable to wear across the board for me.
I didn't notice any scent or taste, though there is "fragrance (parfum)" listed in the ingredients--it smelled neutral, not waxy but I just didn't get any scent.

Hot Kiss
NARS Hot Kiss Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly, but it didn’t adhere as well to the inner area of my lips. The consistency was very lightweight, thin, and firmer in the tube, so it dragged a bit during application if I tried to apply in one, fluid stroke. Despite that, it actually felt comfortable to wear as the thin texture didn’t feel clingy. It lasted well for four and a half hours and felt non-drying while worn.

Erotic Adventure
NARS Erotic Adventure Lipstick ($26.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, dark reddened plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was firmer in the tube and quite thin, though it didn’t feel clingy (almost weightless, actually), so it didn’t apply fluidly in a single stroke; it was best applied with shorter strokes. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, and the color went on evenly and didn’t sink into my lip lines over time. This shade stayed on well for five and a half hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.
