Review: Nars Jungle Red Lipstick

Hey Hey Heeeeyy

So, if you ever read my old blog you'll know already that I'm a bit of a Nars addict. Okay bit of an understatement; I'm a huge Nars obsessed freak. My love affair with Nars began when I bought their blush Torrid back in 2009 and now my Nars family has become...well big. I only own three lipsticks from them but I use them aalll the time.
Jungle Red is a hot red (obviously) colour that has a slight orange tint to it, but this orange tint does not translate onto your lips..well it doesn't for me anyway. Without further ado....:

Please excuse the horrible creasing concealer under my eyes and ofcourse my ridiculous poses (once again)

LOVE:
 - How bright the colour is and how pigmented....this was only one application
 - How long lasting Nars lipsticks are...considering the colour, I only had to touch up 2-3hours later!
 - Very smooth consistency
 - The packaging. As usual, Nars packing is sleek, elegant and non-fussy = lovee!
 - How many compliments I get when I wear this! Is such a statement colour!

NO LOVE:
- Is smooth but can be quite drying as you can see from the pictures. Apply balm before this!
- Colour slightly cracks around the edges of my mouth but this may just be because my lips are quite dry naturally!
- The price tag. At £17.50 is quite pricey, but I think it's worth it!

Overall, I lovee this lipstick and recommend it to anyone who dares to go red! I would recommend doing a lip scrub (sugar and olive oil are all you need!) before you apply it though as you dont want it look crackley.

Have you tried any Nars lipsticks, what do you think of them? What are your favourite red lipsticks?!
