    I ordered this from the NARS website where it's listed as a "retro" color - perhaps because it was discontinued, then brought back? Either way, I like it, and I do think it's sort of a "90s" color....

    I LOVE this lipstick -- I went to the Nars counter yesterday to try on several Nars lipsticks that I had read good reviews about -- I pulled out a few tester lipsticks to try, and out of all I...

    Another beautiful lipstick from NARS. This shade is a pretty plum with a super subtle gold shimmer. It is from the "sheer" category of Nars lipsticks. It goes really well with my dark brown hair...

    i really like this color, but it is apparently discontinued. i have fair warm skin, and it suits me very well, a light brownish purple with a tiny bit of shimmer, not drying at all. looks more...

    This is a sheer, neutral, plummy brown-red color that works really well with my olive skin tone. It has a tiny bit subtle gold shimmer that adds some extra dimension to the color and is very...

    I love this color on my lips - it gives them a natural rosy boost - but it is too drying. I had to pile on the lip balm, but after 4 days, my lips were like sandpaper.

    A beautiful lipstick witha velvety finish. It's a red-brown, depending on the light more red or brown. One layer is fairly sheer but gives emphasis and balances dark eyes. Great for a full...

    I truly love this shade. It's almost in a tie with my all-time fave brown, Clinique Double Fudge! Vera Cruz is a beautiful, medium-toned rosy brown against my NC15, olive skin, one of the few...

    I was expecting this lipstick to have more brown tones in it. On me, it looks like a sheer plain red with very slight gold shimmer. Nothing too special, the shade is quite generic. Quality of...

    This is a lovely sheer cinnamon just as described on the Nars site. It gives me a nice healthy color and some shimmer to my lips. It is not drying at all and goes on very smooth.

    This shade is a lovely sheer cinnamon, and with additional layering it can become a deep cool red. This shade would look great on pretty much any skintone, but the downside is that it's drying &...

    Generally, I agree with everything said below. "Vera Cruz" is a soft, deep cinnamon red (meaning it's more warm than not) with a touch of brown and subtle gold shimmer. It reminds me a lot of my...

    This colour is a sheer cinnamon red on me (NC 44 dark brown hair & eyes.) It adds a nice subtle pop of colour when I wear it. Th formula is sheer so the staying power is not that great but for what...

    Disappointing for me. The color is beautiful but the formula of the lipstick has no holding power and disappears quickly. Tried wearing lip primer underneath with no luck. Darn!

    Vera Cruz is described by Nars as "Sheer Cinnamon"--and while it looks like a dark reddish cinnamon in the tube, it goes on as an ever-so-slightly-brownish sheer red with a hint of gold shimmer. I...

    Ok, so this is a nice lipstick but I personally wouldn't repurchase it just because it's too cool for me. It is a cool sheer red with shimmer that turns fuschia on me. The shimmer is hardly...

    Another great lipstick from NARS. This is a YLBB color for fall and winter. The MA swatched Vera Cruz and several other l/s on her hand to show me that it is quite neutral. On me, it's a medium...

    Vera Cruz is one of the the new NARS lipsticks for winter 2005. I ordered it without seeing it because of the description on narscosmetics.com: "sheer cinnamon". It's definitely sheer cinnamon...
