I took some time to swatch some lipsticks this summer and went through a lot of what I have. One of my favourite finds was this Nars Toledo lipstick. Tried it on and I thought that it might be similar to my favourite Nars Velvet Matte Lip Crayon in Intriguing so I had to swatch them side by side.
Take a look. They are pretty close. Toledo on the left, Intriguing on the right.
Toledo is creamier, more pigmented, and the colour is a little deeper. Intriguing is a bit more peach and has a drier texture. Intriguing will last longer on the lips and Toledo will be more moisturizing. I don’t think that I could really substitute one for the other, but I don’t like to throw Intriguing into my purse because I need a sharpener to use it. Toledo will be what goes around with me, but I’ll use Intriguing at home.
