Afterglow Lip Shine Gloss
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
NARS Afterglow Lip Shine Gloss has pretty shades but an oily, slippery texture that doesn't bond well to the lips, according to Kackie Reviews Beauty. Laureen Uy, however, likes it and is shown wearing it for a natural look. The formula divides opinion — it may work for those who prefer a non-sticky gloss, but others will find it too slick.

- “They released five new colors this year. Beautiful. I saved all five colors in my like declutter”23:15–23:29
- “These two formulations are the best lip gloss formulations I have tried at Sephora and both of them I tried this year. Fantastic. Absolutely love them”23:29–23:34
- “Again, they feel like a balmy, watery balm on the lips. They have a nice longevity even though being a gloss that's not sticky or goopy on the lips”23:34–23:47
- “They are semi sheer. We can add more. They definitely have a distinction between all the colors that I've tried. And they just look and feel wonderful on the lips. Absolutely an incredible formula”23:47–23:52
