Sephora Birthday Gift

After work on Friday I picked up my Sephora birthday gift: two mini Nars lip pencils, one in Cruella and one in Rikugien. I have never had anything by Nars so I was excited to try it out (and for free so I can still follow the beauty resolutions that I set for myself a few months back). I can't say that for a high end brand they are better then anything that I've bought at the drugstore (for example, my Maybelline creamy matte lipsticks).  While the colors are pretty, the staying power of these guys is not very good.
