Hi there! I should probably either be sleeping or studying or a combination of the two. Instead though, I thought I would do a blog post!
I recently got a completely awesome gift from my friend. The NARS Tech Fashion lip gloss set! I was definitely seeing stars when I saw it. *u* I don’t believe this is sold at Sephora which I was surprised about. You can get it from NARS counters though. They retail for about $40 bucks on the website. Seems steep, but not really for NARS I guess.
I thought I would do a mini review and a swatch set of these glosses.
The first funny thing I noticed were the completely unoriginal names. Cause you know, that really looks like a ‘shade 1’ sorta colour… Here are the descriptions on the NARS website:
Shade 1: Shimmering peach sorbet
Shade 2: Shimmering sheer fig
Shade 3: Shimmering sheer raspberry
Shade 4: Sheer ruby
I took 2 different pictures. Both are in natural light, but I think the first one came out truer to colour than the second one. I do think that the second one shows a bit clearer the different between Shade 1 and Shade 2.
I have only had these glosses for a bit so that’s why I didn’t want to do a full review. Shade 4 is my favourite of the set. Awesome pigmentation and looks so pretty on the lips with not as much glitter as the others. I would say that the colour in the tube is not the true colour on lips. That could be good and bad I guess. I’m glad that Shade 2 isn’t true to the tube though, as that would be way too brown!
Overall I think these are very good lip glosses. I noticed that for the lighter colours after fading for a couple hours, the colour would disappear but the glitter remained. It looks a little funky, but nothing a reapplication didn’t fix. Something else I really liked about these glosses was that they were very hydrating. I wouldn’t use them in place of a balm, but I think they do pretty well to soften the lips.
Anyhoo there we go! Hope you enjoyed it, have a great day!

i love the shimmering sheer raspberry!
So pretty on the lips too! Perfect berry for the holidays. 🙂
What an awesome gift! My favourite colour is Sheer Ruby!
That's my favourite colour too! A pinker red which I love!
I think Sheer Raspberry is my favourite. I've only ever tried NARS blush and bronzer but these glosses look so pretty!
Agreed! I've only used one, I got Orgasm from my Lip Favourites Sephora kit. Really impressed that they lock in moisture! 🙂
I love these minis! I never finish full-size glosses, so these are just perfect. My favorite shade is the raspberry shade.
Oh I know exactly what you mean. I have realized that most of my makeup collection actually is made up of minis. I don't think I've EVER finished anything other than a lip balm before, so minis make it worth it for me!
Following you now,
maybe doing swap? 🙂
let me know,

Hi Katja, thanks for the follow, very much appreciated! Hope you enjoy your time on the blog! I haven't been looking to do a swap anytime soon, but thanks for the offer anyways!
I'm really not a gloss girl, but I looove mini value sets for sure! Shade 4 is also my favorite here!
Oh I know! Minis are the bomb! 🙂 Yeah the 2 darker shades wear soooo nicely!
What a lovely gift to receive! The ruby red shade is my favourite too 🙂
Thank you Jennifer! I love them so far, but the darker colours definitely wear the best. 🙂
