I do think that Nars lipsticks are overpriced, but after hearing rave reviews for Pigalle, I got it. The texture is matte, nice but not drying. It did last through breakfast, with only a few touch ups throughout the day. I don't like the taste for the lipstick, though. It reminds me of plastic, not something I like on my lips. I don't use this lipstick as often because of the taste, but it's a great color that lasts for a while.
