NARS Paradise Found Oil-Infused Lip Tints Reviews & Swatches
Laguna
NARS Laguna Oil-Infused Lip Tint ($26.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a subtle, brown-tinted base with copper and gold pearl throughout paired with a high-shine finish. It had sheer to semi-sheer color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly across my lips with good shimmer/pearl dispersion.
The texture was smooth, almost cream-like but quite lightweight, and wasn’t tacky, which made it easy to work with and comfortable to wear. The gloss didn’t emphasize my lip lines, which is always appreciated. It stayed on well for two and a half hours and was hydrating over time.

Formula Overview
$26.00/0.17 oz. - $152.94 Per Ounce
The formula was described as a "sheer wash of color" and that it gave a "hint of tint." It was a sheerer-coverage product that ranged from sheer to medium, buildable coverage with noticeable shimmer and tint but the natural lip color definitely came through.
It had a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that felt like a slicker cross between lip balm and lipgloss (that "oil" coming through). It was non-sticky, comfortable to wear, and hydrating, though the wear was between two and three hours.

Reef
NARS Reef Oil-Infused Lip Tint ($26.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a light-medium, rose-tinted base with lighter pink and reddish-copper pearl throughout paired with a high-shine finish. The gloss had a smooth, lightweight texture that felt non-sticky, creamy without being thick or heavy, and spread the shimmer and color across my lips evenly.
It had sheer to semi-sheer coverage, which was in line with the formula’s claims, that lasted well for two hours but was nicely moisturizing over time.

Laguna is lovely! Perfect for a more casual summer lip…. providing we even have any real summer this year. But this would be nice for even just sitting in the house.
Lovely shade, perfect for summer.
Laguna is a lovely shade, perfect for summer.
Although I really like them, they seem very similar whan applied. I think I have the Orgasm version. Not sure if it’s the same formula. I will have to look.
These look alright, but I feel they are too expensive for what they accomplish.
