The set comes in this beautiful compact (pictured above) with a large mirror and a jumbo sized sharpener which is good as these pencils are not twist ups.
Luxembourg is described as a bright watermelon. Its a pinky orangey red and is a perfect shade for spring/summer. This is a satin formula. This has to be my favorite of the three and definitely makes me excited for spring.
Yu is described as a shockingly bold pink. Its a beautiful bright cool toned pink shade. I don't have anything like this in my collection and am very happy with the shade. This is a satin formula.
Provocative Red is described as a fuschia rose. Provocative Red is not a shade I would usually go for but surprisingly I am really liking it and is a perfect shade for winter. Its a plummy brownish red shade. Its a matte formula but not drying at all and feels really comfortable on the lips.
This is not a review post but more of a show and swatch post. Overall, so far, I am really happy with my purchase as I have been really wanting to try these pencils for a long time now. Individually these retail for 40 $ each. This limited edition set retails for 72 $ and is a good way to try these pencils.
Price - 72 AUD
Available at Mecca

I am trying them for the first time but absolutely love the formula and they stay on for a decent time too !
DeleteYu is seriously stunning, I love the look of that colour and have always wanted to try the Nars pencils (especially the matte formula, but the satin looks nice in your swatch too!)
ReplyDeleteSatin feels so good and I love the formula. If you are interested in Satin and matte both and are up for these colors you should have a look at this palette :)
DeleteWhen I read provocative Red, I genuinely thought it's a red color lol. Turns out, it's a brownish tone, yea? It looks stunning!
