Dolce Vita & Fast Lane

 Hello,

for the first post of the year I picked something bright and shiny. Hopefully it will reflect in my future :)

They are Nars after glow lip balms in Dolce Vita and Fast Lane.

They are both shimmer free and I like that, they would be nice with some sparkle but sometimes having just a glossy lip without shimmer is refreshing. First is coral shade Dolce Vita and second somewhat cool toned mauve pink is Fast Lane.

They are glossy lip balms with little pigment but when I put them on the lips, pigment is more visible. I don't know what kind of witchcraft this is but I swear that on my lips the colors are more pronounced.

I think I picked good shades for myself. Dolce Vita is bright and brings a little life back to my face and Fast Lane is that subtle mauve with a bit of cool toned pink to make my lips a bit different (not my natural red shade). 

I like the shine but I was expecting more gloss, nevertheless I still like them a lot and will use them up. I will see if I can find something similar since these are expensive to buy once these are gone.

The hydrating factor wasn't high enough and I had to switch to regular clear balm to nourish my lips.

So overall, not hydrating enough but shiny and colorful (more than what you would expect from the swatch) but still sheer enough to apply without a mirror. My lips looked nice after using them, I love the gloss and color ratio even though I would not complain if they would be even glossier. I noticed that the shine and color lasted a long time, close to one hour twenty which is impressive.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
