NARS x Erdem Strange Flowers Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches (Part 2)
Moon Orchid
NARS Moon Orchid Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft pink with cooler undertones and a soft shine. It had a milkier quality to it, and there was noticeable color that slipped into my lip lines from the get-go (and continued to worsen as time went on). It had semi-sheer coverage (as expected based on the brand’s description) that covered fairly evenly in a single layer. The consistency was lightly emollient but adhered well to my lips and did not feel slippery while worn. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating, while the color itself lasted for two and a half hours on me.

Voodoo Lily
NARS Voodoo Lily Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, light-medium rosy mauve with warm undertones and a glossy finish. It had sheer coverage (as intended), and on my natural lip color, it lightened it more than anything else, so I expect it to look quite different from person to person. It had a lightweight, lightly emollient texture that glided across my lips without tugging but did not feel overly slippery during wear. This shade wore well for two and a half hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating on me.

Wild Flower
NARS Wild Flower Lipstick ($28.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep purple with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had medium color payoff, which did not build up well, and it seemed to settle into lip lines while also bunching up in places and looked almost grainy on my lips at times. The lipstick was lightweight, thin without being clingy, and had enough slip not to drag when applied. It wore well for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating, though the color settled further into my lip lines over time.

I’m interested in Voodoo Lily, I love the color of the bullet, but I don’t know how it will pull on me. My lips (and skin) are really pale but seem to pull the pink out of everything (this is the bane of my makeup existence). It could end up bubblegum pink on me so it might not be worth the gamble.
Well my money is saved on these!!I don’t like most sheer lipsticks and the way Wild Flower applies and wears sounds horrible.They should have released the shades from this collaboration in the Audacious formula!
Voodoo Lily and Moon Orchid look beautiful in the tube, but when lipsticks cost that much, they need better performance.
These look awful. They’re so sheer.
Ugh wild flower look so good from the tube but the swatches say otherwise …
what’s the point of a sheer lipstick if it’s not hydrating or serving as an interesting topper? 😛
Will you be reviewing the lip powder palette?! Dying to see what you have to say and waiting to make the purchase!
These three just aren’t rocking my boat. Nope. I really wish that Wild Flower would’ve had even pigmentation, because then it may have been lovely.
