Hate the new product. They had one previous that was so awesome and now I cannot find it. Tried this one and the moisture lasted minutes, the color much less. Very disappointed and dissatisfied. Will not be spending my money on it again. Why the change?

Perfect, perfect, perfect. I LOVEE this for everyday. Nothing else needed makeup wise if I ever had to choose one product other than spf. It would be this. No peeling off or gathering at the corner

I splurge for this because it truly moisturizes and dives right into my lips rather than sitting on top like a wax film (I hate that) and it’s a little tint of color for a healthy makeup-free natural look. Ireal scent

Reformulated product, horrible customer service
This product changed dramatically and is super drying. And when I went to return it, I was told that I was 2 days past the return window and there was nothing they could do. What a waste to lose a long time customer over a $30 defective product.

What happened?!
I loved the old formula of this lip balm, I have it in four shades (Laguna, Fast Lane, Torrid, and Dolce Vita), so imagine my surprise when I notice the reformulated product in-store.
First off, where is Wicked Ways? Why have brands become so lazy, no longer making cool-toned pinks, true mauves, and plums? Everything is peachy-pink and brown now. Second, why is a LIP BALM so drying? Above all, who decided it'd be a good idea to reformulate this?
This is yet another case of NARS "fixing" something that was never broken. I am severely disappointed. First you ruin your blushes (and yes, you CAN make a good talc-free blush without completely changing the blush shade, if you actually cared to try), now you ruin the lip balms. With how disappointing NARS has become - uncalled-for reformulations and zero innovation - I doubt I'll continue purchasing its products.

A different product after the reformulation
I’ve used the original formula every single day for years it was my signature lip shade and the only thing I used to get my tan lips to a nice natural shade of pink. This version is more hydrating but for that you give up the color payoff. I wish they would come out with two versions one with the hyralauronic acid and one without.

Definitely a no
I tried this balm in several colors. It’s supposed to be hydrating but I felt that it didn’t last long and my lips felt dryer after using it. Also most colors were almost completely sheer. Only the red color had any color payoff. This feels like a complete

Had to return it.
I was so excited to use it, as I used the other Nars lip stick/lip balm but hated the texture. I saw this and bought it on the Sephora sale. My lips were drier after using it every time. Ended up returning it.
