The Hardwired-ness continues. To keep the new Hardwired Eyeshadows company, NARS is also releasing a new Hardwired lipstick formulation, with three new lipsticks ($26 each) in glistening cream Adriatic, crimson Deadly Catch, shimmery brick red Femme Fleur (also has gold pearl).
First impressions…
The feather-weight formula feels great, and I can barely feel these on my lips, but they don’t seem to last as long as the Audacious formula. These may be a good fit if you don’t like to feel like you’re wearing a ton of product on your pout.
Vertical lip lines can also breathe a sigh of relief, in general, as the two shimmery shades, shimmery Adriatic and Femme Fleur, don’t settle into my fine lines. The finish looks really smooth and expensive (reminds me of Guerlain’s Kiss Kiss lipsticks).
Now about that wear time…it’s not my favorite thing about these. Adriatic only lasts 2-3 hours for me, while Deadly Catch and Femme Fleur manage 3-5.
These unflavored, unscented lipsticks will be available along with the rest of the 13-piece Laced With Edge Holiday collection at NARS boutiques and online October 15, and at department and specialty stores beginning November 1.
P.S. I am so overjoyed right now. 🙂 Got some takeout Pasta Pomodoro for dinner (capolini tre colore with shrimp) and Gilmore Girls playing on the TV. Oh, yeah… Good times. I hope you’re having a good night.

Femme Fleur looks pretty! So how far into Gilmore Girls are ya, Karen? 🙂

I’ve been lovin’ all the Deadly Catch swatches I’ve seen! I’ve only swatched the new lipstick formula in Charlotte and Audrey and they felt a bit heavy on my hand so I might like the new and improved Hardwired better!
Rachel Runyan says
All of them a beautiful, but I think Adriatic would be better as a layering lipstick rather than on it’s own. But I’m really pale, so it might look great on someone with a nice tan. 🙂
Dana says
These look amazing. Everything within their holiday collection, just looks delightful!

Deadly Catch is stunning!
Sylirael says
Deadly Catch is my favourite, but there’s something about Adriatic that makes me want to use it for makeup art looks…
Kim says
There seems to be a lot to like about these lipsticks – Femme Fleur is particularly pretty. 🙂
Ah, carb loading. Definitely the thing I’d like best about your training regimen! HAHA!

Adriatic looks like it’d be flattering on a corpse, and that’s about it.

Adriatic looks really interesting and different. PS, Gilmore Girls- total throwback and never gets old! The writers for that show were geniuses!
