30 Days of NARS: Greek Holiday Lip Gloss, Day 1

April 10th, 2014 by Karen 25 Comments

NARS Greek Holiday

Biiiig kiss!

Say hi to Greek Holiday (“Hi, Greek Holiday!”), a sparkling pinkish peachy gold, and one of the 30 recently reformulated NARS Lip Glosses ($26 each) coming soon (April 15 to NARS Boutiques and narscosmetics.com, and NARS counters and Sephora stores May 1).

I like it 1) because it’s sparkly (duh) and 2) because it’s isn’t gritty. 🙂

SUPER PRETTY, especially when worn all by itself in casual looks, where the sparkle keeps things interesting, ya know? I think it also looks fab on top of nude pink and peach lipsticks.

When it comes to gloss, you really can’t go wrong with sheer and glittery.

orphan-poster-season2P.S. Orphan Black?

I started watching it this week. I’m only on episode three, but so far, wow. Pretty good! And great acting. I’m really impressed by all of the accents.

Uh…how many characters does Tatiana Maslany get to play anyway? That must be a dream job for an actor.

      It would make a great weekend gloss, don’t you think?

      Happy Friday!

    Looks a lot like buxom Celeste. Maybe Celeste has a little more sheen (and it’s from their plumping line) whereas this is more straight up sparkles. Both super pretty! I wore Celeste over Pink Poodle today with a hint of Gabriel’s Maple Shimmer. Brought the hot tone down to casual and springy!

      Your lip combo sounds pretty, Amy! Is the weather springy in your neck of the woods right now?

        Still piles of snow here in northern New England. You can still go skiing! But the temps are getting up there, hallelujah… :))

        p.s. I just noticed Andalou products are made in Novato, maybe you should do a review! I like their sunscreen 🙂

      Hi Casey,

      I’m on episode three, and I’ve already lost count of how many times I’ve yelled “TWIST!” out loud.

      I kind of want to hang out Felix, LOL!

    Sparklerific!! I’ve only seen bits and pieces of Orphan Black but it seems like a good show. I’m about halfway through Season 2 of Dexter right now (I know, talk about WAY behind the times) and it’s pretty good. 🙂 Did you ever watch Sherlock? I really like it!

      I’ve never watched a single episode of Dexter, so you’re way ahead of me.

      I’ve only seen one episode of Sherlock. Do I need to keep watching?!

        Oh, good! I don’t feel so bad. 🙂 I think the first Sherlock ep is pretty representative of the series so if you liked it, definitely watch on! Both settle into their roles a bit more in later eps but the gist is the same.

    This gloss looks perfect for simple makeup days, so pretty! Are you really going to wear a different gloss from NARS for 30 days?! That’s so exciting.

      Hi May,

      Ahhh! It’s close, but on me Get Rich Quick is slightly darker and more bronzy. They’re both great colors!

    I’m not the biggest fan of sheer shimmery glosses but I think you just converted me lol. This is so beautiful on you! I think it’ll look so pretty over a nice nude lipstick

    ORPHAN BLACK IS AMAZING! The show gets way more intense! Tatiana is such a great actor. She plays so many different characters and they all seem like completely different people. I forgot their all her playing them sometimes. Keep watching! The new season starts April 19th on BBC!

    This looks like a nice glitter gloss and I’m definitely in favor of it not being gritty. Also I’ve been really liking orphan black!

    Not sure I’m feeling this one. Glad it’s not gritty but I’d probably use it as a lipstick topper and not alone!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
