The NARS holiday-ready range is playfully named 'Unwrapped' and is available for a limited time at outlets such as Hudson's Bay, [Nordstrom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-color-melton-glosstick), and [Shoppers Drug Mart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advent-calendar-nuxe-2023). The makeup brand's award-winning Audacious Lipstick is part of this stylishly festive drop. The Unwrapped Audacious Lipstick guarantees a bold, saturated color and full coverage. Its creamy and weightless texture feels superb on the lips, while the micro-sized lipid spheres and Portulaca Extract work to plump and hydrate the lips. Individuals can snatch two coveted shades—the best-selling Mona (Mahogany) and Augustine (Taupe Nude)—in a meticulously detailed ribbon-wrapped design and a holiday-edition metallic silver packaging.
