Era / Decade
2020s (Modern/Active Product Line)
Material
Pressed powder pigments in a rubberized plastic compact; Lip balm contains moisturizing botanical oils in a rose gold metallic tube.
Condition
Fair to Good. Both items appear used. The balm is uncapped and shows surface wear; the bronzer surface is slightly uneven, indicating a brush has been used.
Demand Level
Low for resale. Used cosmetics have limited demand due to hygiene concerns, though luxury brands like NARS still move if priced low.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$15.00 - $25.00 for the set
Estimated Retail Value
$68.00 - $75.00 (Balm: $28, Bronzer: $40-45)
Comparable Sales
Used NARS compacts typically sell for $10-$15. Used lip balms without caps are difficult to sell individually but can add value to a bundle for $5-$8.
Description

Key Features
High brand recognition; Laguna is the brand's most famous and best-selling shade; Luxury rose gold packaging on the balm; High-quality pigment payoff.
Authenticity Indicators
Distinctive NARS logo fonts; the unique rubberized 'soft touch' texture of the compact (which often gets sticky over time); rose gold square casing of the Afterglow line. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Items are used, which significantly impacts hygiene and resale value. The lip balm is missing its cap. Fingerprints and makeup residue are visible on the compact exterior. Hygiene risk is the primary concern for buyers.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, Poshmark, or Glambot. Mercari is generally more lenient with gently used cosmetics compared to eBay.
Selling Tips
Sanitize the powder by lightly spraying with 70% isopropyl alcohol before photographing. Wipe the compact clean of all fingerprints and dust. Disclose clearly that the balm cap is missing. Use keywords like 'NARS Laguna Duo' and 'Sunkissed Glow'.
