You may be thinking these lip products look like the same colour, and yes they are all of the pinky/nude variety, but because of the slightly differing shades and finish, they are all very much needed in my life. Well, this is what I keep telling myself.
I am just obsessed with nudes and mauves and have been throughout the whole of Jan. They suit me much more than a bold lip ever has and therefore I tend to stay safe and stick to more neutral lips and more adventurous eyes and this is my kinda go-to look for night outs.

My favourite lip look has to be 'Tantalizing Taupe' by Maybelline paired with Mac 'Shy Girl' in the centre of my lip. This creates an ombre lip effect, that makes my lips have more dimension and look fuller.

Another Lip product that deserves a mention is the Wet n Wild Matte Lipstick in 'Bare it all', I got this from Amazon for only £2.50, as I heard it was a fab dupe of the incredibly popular 'Velvet Teddy' lipstick by Mac. Although I don't own Velvet Teddy, it does look like a very good match when compared to other photos and swatches I have seen and I am very very impressed, especially for the price! It's a lovely brown nude and has an amazing formula that is very pigmented with only one stroke. It has a creamy texture and is not as drying as other matte lipsticks I have tried.

Both the Chanel and Clarins Lip products are definitely more on the sheer side in terms of finish which I think makes them perfect for every day wear. They are however a lot more pigmented on the lips than on my hand, plus they feel super moisturizing on the lips, which is always a winner.


Are you a nude lip kinda gal? Has anyone else tried these shades?

  1. I love every shade, the colours look STUNNING from the swatch photo!! I don't really wear pinks/nudes, I prefer a dark lip as it makes me feel put together, and I can never be bothered wearing makeup, so a red lip is a great distraction from my tired looking eyes haha! However, this post has made me really want to start wearing nudes and pinks again, as they all look fab! xxx
