Gloss of the Day: NARS Strawberry Fields.

Many lines are going matte this fall, including NARS with the introduction of it's new Pure Matte Lipstick collection. I, as I will forever be a glossy girl, am thrilled that they have also introduced two new lip glosses this season as well. This beauty is one of them. This is NARS Strawberry Fields.

Don't think bright cherry red here. Think a ripe pink strawberry shade, and that is what you get with Strawberry Fields is. There is no glitter or shimmer here, just a full mouth of opaque shiny gloss.

Price: $24.00
Availability: NARS counters, NARS online, Sephora - both in store and online
