NARS Rikugien Satin Lip Pencil

After the purchase of my first NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Hyde Park, I knew I need more of these lip pencils because the pigmentation and formula is just amazing. Since I have got a deep red shade from Hyde Park, I decided to get a neutral shade this time round and it's Rikugien.

Rikugien is a muted rose shade which looks almost neutral on my dark toned lips. I love how it makes my lips look natural but better when I want something that doesn't scream attention.

Upon close examination, I thought it look pretty close to another favourite shade of mine from NARS, Dolce Vita. So here I am comparing the swatch of Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien and Sheer Lipstick in Dolce Vita.

Top: Dolce Vita, Bottom: Rikugien

I find both shades close but not exactly the same as Rikugien has a more pinkish tone.

I'm not sure about you but here I am thinking what to get for my third Satin Lip Pencil! (opppsss...... drawer full of lip products staring right back at me -_-)
