A few weeks ago I randomly decided to pick up Nars “Heat Wave” after a few laps around Sephora convincing myself $24 was acceptable to spend on something that could potentially make me look like a clown. I have been seeing it everywhere but hesitant to try it because most mornings all I want is a serious lip treatment for chapped skin. What I love is the texture and matte finish and how you can apply it right from the tube, or with a lip brush for a lighter version of the shade. I have been experimenting with it mostly for glammed up nights out, but today it felt fun to wear no makeup except for the bright pop of color before doing some errands around Coolidge Corner.
