    This is a great warm red for those who thought Gipsy might be too cool for your skin tone. I don't see any orange in this and there is a touch of brown to keep it from being too bright. I find Nars...

    On me (NC30), this looks like a warmer version of Gipsy. I like Gipsy too, but this one is a bit more subdued and probably more appropriate for my coloring. I like this as a daytime red--great...

    On me Zanzibar is a brick/tomato red. Not bright red and not brown either. Unfortunately it doesn't suit me after all (I bought it sight unseen based on my own assessment, but turns out I was...

    This is a sheer red that works well with my skintone (NC30/35). However, I would not repurchase because although Zanzibar <em>works</em> on me, it is slightly boring. I can throw it in my purse and...

    I can see why everyone loves this color so much. I already own Fire Down Below(which is an awesome red in its own right), but I wanted a more everyday sheer red. This fits the bill PERRRRfectly. ...

    I have a hard time wearing reds - because of my coloring, they tend to turn magenta on me if they have too much blue in them. Zanzibar is perfect! It's more of a brown/orange red and it goes on...

    LOVE IT!!!!! The best warm brownish red for pale warm toned girls. I use a bronzey liner with it and it is stunning! I would but it at twice the price. As it is, I do not have a Nars counter...

    HG, plain and simple! Gorgeous warm red, like Mongolian Red with a sheer texture. No wonder it's always sold out, and so hard to find!

    A really beautiful cinnamon color (meaning brownish red). Its more what I thought Mongolian Red would be like.

    This is a great brown-based sheer red. Someone else pointed out that it is like a sheer version of Mongolian Red and I concur. I love Mongolian Red but I will probably get more use out of Zanzibar...

    This is the perfect red for me. It's a sheer brownish-red that is really flattering with my light/medium complexion, brunette hair, green eyes. I also love it because it isn't cakey or dry, a...

    Favorite all time red, goes on as a lightweight lipstick but gives a nice brick red shiny color. I am very picky about reds, do not like anything bight but this one is a keeper girls.

    This is my new favourite red lipstick. It is one of NARS' sheers, but is not nearly as sheer as I expected. It can be worn sheerly or applied more heavily for a very pigmented look.<p> The colour...
