NARS Paris Follies Larger Than Life Lip Gloss Review

I was browsing in Fenwicks the other day and as always, i decided to have a look at the makeup section and in particular, at NARS.

I instantly saw a lip gloss that was the most beautiful shade of coral and when the makeup artist tried some on me, i knew i wanted it!


Paris Follies is the ideal spring/summer shade to wear and it is a very flattering shade for all skin tones. Once applied, it makes your face look brighter, healthier and more glowing. Weird i know! This shade is described as a "flamingo pink", which i think is spot on.

The formula is much better than the regular lip glosses. It is more hydrating, plumping and very comfortable to wear. It doesn't have the plastic-y scent like their other glosses. The lip gloss is pigmented, but i would say it is semi-opaque because there is enough colour to give a punch but it isn't overpowering.

The Larger Than Life Lip Glosses don't have the standard doe foot applicator and have a very small brush, which is meant to enable precise application. However, sometimes this can be a bit time consuming but, this does allow you to define your lips and give a more fuller, plumper appearance.

For me, this is going to be my go to lip gloss for summer. I am just in awe with the colour, as i love coral shades! This makes my skin just glow (without even having to try!).
