NARS’ Tropic Collection for Summer 2009 may not have been my favorite I’ve been able to sneak a peek at this summer, but Belize lip gloss was prettier than I anticipated. I couldn’t tell you that I’d really recommend it, given it’s $24, but it’s worth considering if you like milky glosses.
See a lip swatch of NARS Outsider Lipstick!

Outsider looks kinda sheer!! Pretty, but I don’t think it would show up on me 🙂
It is sheer, but you might get a lil’ color out of it — but you’re right, it might not!
belize l/g looks so pretty. I want it!
Glad ya like it, Liana! Will you get it?
Belize just looks like Turkish Delight? One out of the list I guess… now I’m *lemming* the new bronzer, Scorching Sun and Tropic.
I don’t have Turkish Delight to compare, sorry 🙁
Outsider *does* look really sheer — it’s show up on me, though, because my lips have no color at all. Can you show us a swatch of Falaba, too?
I don’t have Falaba, sorry!
they look gorgeous and just pigmented. pretty!!!
Will you be getting any, Sophia? 🙂
Love the Belize lip gloss!
Enough to buy it? 😉
I loved how Belize l/g looked, and this confirms how nice it is, IMO 🙂
THANKS!! 😀
Will you be purchasing it, Teresa?
I will definitely buy Belize..
Awesome, Mary!
I tried outsider and it definitely show up on my pigmented lips. If I add salsa lipliner, I *almost* get a deep/reddish lip. Liner makes all the difference
Glad it worked well for you, Marina!
