This summer has been a season of nude lips and bold brows. I have found myself more amenable to brown lip liner, paired with a nude (or colored) lipstick. Mainly, I have been using my new Bare Minerals Mineralist Lasting Lip Liner in Calming Cocoa with an oldie but goodie: Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria. It turns out to be the…

I often wonder when the beauty industry will call “nude lipsticks” for what they are: beige. I’m guilty of it too, if only by social construction. However, it turns out, my lips are not beige; they are actually almost the same color as my face. So for me, a true nude lipstick is going to be something in the brown…

I remember when this shade came out. I didn’t buy it right away, but it was on my list. Finally, I got around to purchasing it, and sadly I was disappointed in the shade. Be warned: Beeper looks absolutely nothing like it does on the lips swatch on the ColourPop website. Absolutely nothing like that on my skin tone. This…

This post is all about nudes. Lipstick Queen nudes to be exact. I wanted my foray into Lipstick Queen to be a worthwhile one, so I picked up the nudes from the Nothing but the Nudes Collection ($24.00). There are three shades in the collection: The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth. Now I am a huge…

I’ll say that again. The Sephora Cream Lip Stains ($14.00) make me want to abandon all other brands of liquid lipstick. You heard that right. Now will I actually do it? Nah. I like shiny new things too much and I’m way too impulsive of a person for that to happen but these liquid lipsticks are the BOMB. My skin type…

Hello everyone! Today I posted some nudes 🙂 Well, a video, on nudes… Mmmkay. Today I posted a video of 10 nude lipsticks for dark skin. It’s hard out here, trying to find a good nude lip! If you can’t be bothered watching the video, I posted the lipsticks below, all of which I have reviewed, minus J.Cat Beauty Fantaboulous.…

Here is another great option for darker-toned ladies! It’s the NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Buttery Nude ($5.99). Now these aren’t new at all, but when I can find a lip product that actually does look like a nude lip on me, I definitely keep it! This is more of a gloss than a lipstick, but it’s just as pigmented…

This is the third one of these Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo ($12.00) in my collection and I hope they continue to make more (I say that every time). I also have Violet/Palomino and Tangerine/Ligonberry. I like both and this one isn’t really an exception, although it is different; this one is the nude duo of the bunch. Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick…

Hey all. I just wanted to share with you another nude lip in my stash (for dark skin). Sometimes, I like to go for a really subtle lip, especially for work. I usually use a nude lip when I do a smoky eye, or when my eye makeup is a bit overwhelming so as not to appear as if I…

So far, I am very pleased with Topshop’s cosmetics line. I was looking for a new nude lip product and Topshop’s Lips in Mink ($12.00) does the trick for me. For me, this is a true nude. I usually apply lip balm before I put anything on my lips, but I tried this lipstick with and without lip balm and it…
