A Copper and Amber Duo: Featuring BareMinerals The Playlist and NARS Joyous Red Lipstick

          Today being a National Holiday for the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., I among many have this Monday off work. I decided to spend part of my morning doing a second look with the Playlist Palette by BareMinerals. I combined the eye look with NARS Joyous Red Lipstick. Unfortunately both items (The Playlist and Joyous Red) have been marked as Limited Edition products. I have included a quick review on Joyous Red with photos and swatches.

NARS Joyous Red Review

What it is: NARS Lipsticks are described as "a pure, creamy lipstick formula for bold color. They have a large variety of colors and finishes from sheer, satin and semi-matte. Joyous Red is described as a "semi-matte amber red". 

Verdict: When it comes to Lipsticks, I can be a bit picky. I am always on the look-out for formulas that feel and wear comfortably. Of course it is always an added bonus if they are particularly moisturizing. I can only judge NARS lipsticks by this shade because it is the only one I own- which is a semi-matte finish. Joyous red has a light-weight feel on the lips and for the most part has a comfortable wear. The creamy texture allows for easy application. Aside from the color being an amber red, there are subtle gold flecks in it. The wear is about 3 to 4 hours. Joyous red is not moisturizing but can be topped off with a lipbalm for more comfort and gloss.
