NARS Killer Shine Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.18 fl. oz.) is a new, limited edition gloss formula that is supposed to be highly pigmented with a “vinyl-finish.” The glosses were fairly pigmented with high-shine, very glossy finishes with good wear and were comfortable to have on. The formula is lightly to moderately tacky, and there didn’t appear to be an added scent, but I detected a slightly plastic-like scent in the tube/when initially applying but the scent didn’t seem to linger. These have a very tiny, brush-type applicator, which I bet is great for those with thinner lips, but it’s harder to use for me, personally, due to the size of my lips. The formula is neither drying nor hydrating over time.

NARS Fast Life Killer Shine Lip Gloss ($28.00 for 0.18 fl. oz.) is described as an “iridescent dusty rose.” It’s a medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a heaping dose of fine pink, gold, and beige micro-shimmer. It had mostly opaque color payoff with a smooth formula that applied evenly. The consistency was somewhat tacky over time, though not goopy or uncomfortable to wear. This shade wore for four and a half hours and was neither hydrating nor drying. Anastasia Metallic Rose (-, $16.00) is less shimmery, darker (90% similar).

The texture was light-medium in weight, comfortable to wear with moderate tackiness after an hour of wear. It lasted for four hours in total.

It had mostly opaque color payoff that applied evenly, and the gloss lasted for four and a half hours on me. It was neither drying nor hydrating.
