Sephora Star Lipstick in S24 Impertinent Nude


I love the Sephora collection from Sephora because you can often find high quality products at a cheaper price.  The Lip Attitude Star Lipstick line is supposed to be the perfect mix of lip gloss and lipstick. Most of their lipsticks don't have the name on the package but you can find them on the website. Impertinent Nude is a lot like Creme de' Nude but only it has some sparkle to it. It is somewhat sheer but you can easily build up the color if you want to. Impertinent Nude doesn't have a scent to it, which I really like because some lipsticks I have bought have an overpowering scent to them and then it causes me not to wear them as often. The Lip Attitude Star line lipsticks are super moisturizing and I wish that they hadn't been discontinued. When they were available they retailed for $12.00. Sephora now sells a Rouge Shine Lipstick, which sounds like the formula will be similar to the Lip Attitude Star formula.

Maybelline Wet Shine Fusion in Coral Kiss


I picked this up at the Dollar Tree for only $1.00 a while back and I am glad that I did. They had a couple of colors, but the one that I picked was Coral Kiss. I am pretty sure that these are discontinued, but you might be able to find them online on Ebay or other cosmetic outlet websites. Coral Kiss is a sheer golden peach. The Wet Shine Fusion formula is solid and looks like a lipstick but it is suprisingly very moisturizing. It has a golden shimmer to it, so if you don't like shimmer I wouldn't suggest buying this. The shimmer isn't chunky or too noticeable, it's very nice. It is very sheer but still buildable.

LA Splash Cosmetics Lip Divinity Lipstick in Heavenly Nude


I hate to bring you guys a product shade that is no longer available, but I just had to because there are still other colors that you can purchase. The LA Splash Lip Divinity Lipsticks retail for $7.99 but on Cherry Culture they are only $6.99. Cherry Culture is the only place that I can find them for sale at the moment but I do see them on Ebay every so often. Heavenly Nude is really that, a heavenly nude lipstick! Heavenly Nude is a pink nude shade with a hint of shimmer. Once applied on the lips though you really don't see any shimmer. This lipstick does have a hardness to it where it's almost like the consistency of a lip liner. One thing that is nice about the consistency not being super creamy is that this lip stick lasts longer and doesn't bleed.

L'Oreal Lipstick in Sultry Raven's Pout



Picture Source: MoonlessNight14

When L'Oreal released their Project Runway collection last year it sold out very quickly so the only item that wasn't sold out when I finally found it was the Sultry Raven's Pout lipstick. I quickly grabbed this lipstick because it looked like the perfect my lips but better shade for me, and it definitely is. When I got home and was going through my lipstick collection I noticed how similar it is to Fairest Nude which is also by L'Oreal. They are very similar but not exactly the same. Not different enough where if you were unable to get Sultry Raven's Pout that you have to worry. Sultry Raven's Pout is a flesh toned nude with pink undertones and like Fairest Nude I absolutely love it!

MAC Politely Pink Lipstick

MAC's Politely Pink is one of the two frosty pink lipsticks in my collection. The only other one I own is Angel. Politely Pink is a Lustre finish so it is somewhat frosty but not as much as a Frost finish would be. It has more of a glossy finish than the Frost lipsticks would. It is a more cool toned pink and it would suit pretty much any skin tone. Since it is more sheer you could use this on top of another lipstick that doesn't have shimmer to add to it.

MAC Creme d' Nude

MAC's Creme d' Nude is one of their top-selling lipsticks. In fact, it was the first MAC lipstick that I ever purchased. Creme d' Nude is a Cremesheen finish lipstick and one of my favorite formulas by MAC. Since it is somewhat sheer you can either wear it sheer or build it up for a more pigmented finish. MAC lipsticks have a great vanilla scent to them which I really love. I hate how drugstore lipsticks often smell almost like a chemical or an old lady. Creme d' Nude is a light nude with peachy undertones. This is my go to lipstick when I want to wear a nude lipstick.


GOSH Lipstick in Darling


Photo Source: HRH Collection

GOSH is a cosmetics brand that is not easily accessible in the United States. It is primarily sold in Canada and the UK. I found out about GOSH Darling lipstick and how it was the must have nude lipstick through YouTube. I was bound and determined to get my hands on this lipstick and eventually I was able to swap for it. GOSH Velvet Touch lipsticks are packaged in a sleek matte black tube and a shiny band where the brand name is imprinted. The formula of these lipsticks is very creamy. Darling is a light beige color and I have fairly pigmented lips so it almost sinks into any creases and dry spots. If you have pigmented lips I would suggest using a lib scrub or some sort of lip exfoliating product first.

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Icy Nude


Photo Source: Style For Dummies

Icy Nude is one of the newer ColorBurst shades that Revlon has released. It is a warm caramel nude with a subtle silver shimmer. I love the ColorBurst lipsticks and nude lipsticks so I definitely couldn't resist picking this one up. I do have to say that Revlon has definitely stepped up their game with the packaging of this line of lipsticks. On one side its a matte diamond pattern and the other is just a plain shiny plastic. I do like that they have the Revlon name brand imprinted into the lipstick as well, which you normally only see in the higher end lipsticks. I believe that the only actual store you can still get this at is Kmart but you should be able to easily find it online. 



L'Oreal Lipstick in Fairest Nude

This would probably be my favorite drugstore nude lipstick that I have in my collection. Fairest Nude is on the pinkier side as far as "nude" lipsticks are concerned. This shade is one of those "My Lips But Better" shades, which I absolutely love. Fairest Nude is just a touch darker than my natural lip color. This is the only lipstick I own from the L'Oreal Colour Rich line, but this one seems to be very moisturizing. This lipstick is very pigmented and has a somewhat shiny finish. If this were a MAC lipstick it would probably be under the Cremesheen category.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in #14


Photo Source: Lipstick Love

First off, I have to say how much I love the packaging for the Rimmel London Kate Moss lipstick line. This line of lipsticks almost reminds me of the MAC Viva Glam packaging when they have a celebrity endorse them. I say this because they have the simple black packaging and then Kate Moss' "autograph" printed in Red. So much better than the standard square purple packaging in my eyes.  #14 is a nude color with brownish pink undertones. The lasting finish formula of this lipstick is very creamy and lasts a good amount of time. If you can still find these lipsticks in stores, I highly recommend picking one or a few up.

Revlon Fashion's Night Pout ColorBurst Lipstick


Photo Source: Shakeup Your Makeup

Revlon's Fashion's Night Pout was originally released in 2010 as an exclusive to Rag & Bone only on Fashion's Night Out. In 2011 they re-released it, still as a limited edition, at Walgreen's. It might have been available at other drugstores, but I bought mine at Walgreen's. Some people have been comparing it to MAC's Viva Glam Gaga2, but to me it is completely different. It has the same brownish shade to it but it's not as opaque and a little bit lighter. This lipstick is the perfect nude for me and it would go with pretty much any skin tone. Since this was limited edition it is no longer sold in stores, but you might be able to find it online on E-bay or Amazon. As of right now, AllCosmeticsWholesale.com does have it listed for sale but I am not sure how many they have available.

Urban Decay Lipstick in Naked



Picture Source: Fashionable Heart

Urban Decay's Naked Lipstick is my absolute favorite nude lipstick. This was the first product I owned from the Naked line. For me this is the perfect MLBB (My Lips But Better) lipstick. It does lean more towards the pink side versus the nude side. It has a golden shimmer to it as well as a somewhat shiny finish. Naked lipstick originally sold for $22.00 but is now discontinued. You might be able to find it on Ebay or Amazon but I am sure you would pay an outrageous price for it. I am now regretting not picking up a back up of this product. 


The packaging is what originally interested me in this lipstick but I quickly learned that it is more of an annoyance than anything.
