For the Holiday 2007 season, Nars launched its beautiful Siren Song Collection. I've been a busy bee creating different looks with all of the colors, but the one product I just can't seem to make friends with is the Lip Gloss/Lip Stain Gloss Duos.
I'm a lover of most makeup pairs because of their great value, and I certainly haven't met a Nars product that I didn't like, but my experience with the Indian Red Lip Stain side of my duo was a colossal disaster. While one side is your typical thick and sticky gloss, the other side has a drastically different consistency and frankly, I just don't understand it.
It's very liquid and slick, and you only need a small amount for full coverage. Don't make the same mistake I did and slather it on (it's a dirty little trick since it's got the same applicator as a gloss), because this milky lip stain spreads like wildfire. Having said all of this, please keep in mind that on the whole, I am not a huge fan of lip stains, so the richness of this product definitely plays a role in my opinion. For a description of the four color combination options, read more
- Metis/Vicoire: mulberry and plum
- Moon Fleet/Indian Red: sparkling gold and deep scarlet red
- Turkish Delight/Sayonara: sheer light pink and rose petal pink
- Sandpiper/Daredevil: Shimmering coral and scarlet red

Thatnks for the review!
1It's helpful
ooo i got the email about this..thanks for the review!
2I must say i walked by the nars counter several times and nope..never compelled to try it out (and i use alot of nars stuff)
It just looks gloopy and sticks and somehow wrong
3I got one of these from a friend who works cosmetics for a major dept store and I did not like the product. The colors are great but they are too runny. It was messy.
4Not a fan of stain...
5Yeah, I have the Indian Red stain, not in the duo version and you have to be careful with it. Definitely wear lip liner otherwise it will bleed. I top mine off with Vincent Longo's Rede gloss so it's not so clownish, but still gives a nice red lip.
6Thanks for the review, I'll take your word for it....I have full lips and would hate to have over stained them accidentally!
7I love Vincent Longo stains, but this sounds like a mess! thanks for the review.
8Yikes! I don't think I'd like it at all.
9I heard this was a real good brand...
10I don't think I'd try this, although I do really like lip stain. I don't really care for Nars glosses though. Think I'll stick with my Benetint stain and my C.O. Bigelow gloss combo
11Arrgh i can never use lip stain, i always end up with clown mouth.
12Think ill stick to my mac lipsticks :]
awful awful product.. was so excited to try it- but i will be sending it back... such a mess and crappy quality =(
