By Terry Rouge Terrybly Narcotic Sienna & Nail Laque Terrybly Garnet Nectar

I was delighted when I opened my Christmas present from my husband and was greeted with By Terry boxes, then came the realisation that he would have chosen the colours himself and I have to say that scared me a bit.... and so we have Narcotic Sienna (£31).

Though I have admired the shade before its somewhat out of place with my more natural, your lips but better shades that form the bulk of my collection. In the tube its a deep red and looks like it has a brown tone.

Once applied however its a matte deep cherry red. Its a very intense shade and though I do really like the colour, I have to be in a devil may care mood to wear this one out. Swatched below with Rouge Terrybly in No.403 Bare Instinct, which was a bold a red as I thought I would go and as you can see Narcotic Sienna (on the left) takes it further.

In terms of the formula, though they are not moisturising I do really rank these highly as the smooth rich colour and long wear of these is almost unparallelled.
Ingredients:

I have been wondering about trying the Terrybly Nail Laque so was pleased to get Garnet Nectar (£21), which is actually the shade I would have gone for had I chosen myself.


I've read very few reviews on these but what I have read have been polar opposite. The colour is a deep plum with a red tone. It has a lush glossy finish.


I found it applies smooth and with good coverage, though I do not think it had a quick dry time and wear was average. For me the richness in colour and finish is the best attribute.
Ingredients:


My husband bought these from spacenk.com

  2. I didn't know that By Terry has a nail polish range. I agree that it looks very rich and smooth.

  4. That is a stunning red lipstick and the nail varnish is very chic colour too. I confess I was picturing your face on Christmas day as I was reading the first paragraph! One to save for Valentine's Day, maybe? ;) xx
