Last month, I was all about that deep, intense, holiday red lip. This month I’m back to what I love the most: pretty and natural nudes.
Switching up your lipstick color is definitely one of the easiest ways of changing up your look. I usually rotate between a few colors every couple of weeks, but I also have some all-time favorites that I always reach for, whenever I’m in doubt- like MAC Modesty or Brave. Most of the time I also prefer matte formulas, but I definitely do not use them exclusively any longer- and especially not during winter when matte formulas can be a be a bit drying. A good lip scrub and an intense lip balm are definitely a must for me.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet La Merveilleuse (347)– this lipstick has the most amazing formula. Despite being such a vibrant color, it doesn’t feather out or bleed. This is the only bright-colored lipstick I’ve been reaching for lately. It has a beautiful, luminous matte finish.
Dose of Colors Stone– I finally got my hands on this lippie after months of seeing it all over Instagram. When I first used it, I was actually a little disappointed, because rather than a dusty mauve, it looked brown on me. I then tried applying a very thin layer, and got the exact color I wanted. The formula is pretty amazing: matte and long-lasting. I’m definitely planning on getting more of these.
Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Melted Nude– love the formula of these original Melted Lipsticks. Melted Nude is one of my favorite colors that’s great for an everyday wear. It’s long-lasting and I absolutely love the applicator.
Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color in Seduction– I talked abou this product a few times over the last couple of weeks and I’m still loving it. Although the formula isn’t exactly matte, I still love it. It’s non-drying, very comfortable and Seduction is definitely my favorite shade out of the few that I’ve picked up.
MAC Modesty– there are a few MAC shades that I reach for whenever I’m not sure which color to go for, and Modesty is definitely one of them (I also love Brave for those occasions). It’s a nice and natural color that goes well with pretty much every makeup look.
Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lipstick in Petal Pink– this liquid lipstick also has one of my favorite formulas. It’s ridiculously long-lasting (even through eating and drinking) and the color is pretty and very girly. Usually I use colors like this only during warmer months, but I’ve actually been reaching for it quite often lately.

January 27, 2016 at 4:55 pmI didn’t like the melted lipstick i got a sample of, but i think it was down to it being pink (and i hate pink,) but this one looks right up my street! Need to swatch asap x

February 1, 2016 at 8:10 pmI’m the other way around haha :) I was surprised at how much I loved that Chanel color though, because usually I’m not into such bright colors.

January 27, 2016 at 5:18 pmThe Chanel looks gorgeous! I have Melted Nude and it’s so different for me to what I usually wear but I like it more than I thought! I’m not a huge nude wearer though!

January 27, 2016 at 5:24 pmThat Chanel lipstick looks gorgeous and actually reminds me a lot the Nyx Matte Lipstick in Bloody Mary which I am currently obsessed with :) DOC Stone Mac Modesty look like my kind of nudes, beautiful! x

January 27, 2016 at 5:42 pmI absolutely love nude, I am convinced they are the only shade that really flatter me. I love to use MAC lip liner in Boldly Bare, it makes me feel like Kylie Jenner! hahaha The Laura Mercier lipstick looks absolutely gorgeous, I’ve never tried any of their lipstick but you made it sound fabulous! x

January 27, 2016 at 6:43 pmI still reach to my berry, burgundy lipsticks most of the time; I just can’t get enough of it I guess. Chanel one is such a vibrant colour, it would definitely brighten up the whole look!

January 27, 2016 at 7:29 pmThese are such pretty nudes, especially Stone from Dose of Colours which I am eager to try this year and Laura Mercier Petal Pink which I love as it has a pink undertone x

January 27, 2016 at 7:30 pmi definitely prefer more wearable shades of lipsticks/glosses. Although occasionally I do like to opt for the bright lip. I love the too face melted lipsticks. I have the shade melted peony. Although I would like to get the melted nude shade as sometimes I feel the peony is a bit too much. Unfortunately, I don’t need any new lip products so will have to try and restrain myself.

January 27, 2016 at 7:34 pmMac Modesty and the Too Faced Melted Lipstick both sound really appealing to me. Day to day I love reaching for nice natural shades that I can pair with whatever eye makeup I’ve gone for. For that reason Mac’s Patisserie will always be a firm favourite of mine.

February 1, 2016 at 8:41 pmI like going for nudes/natural colors for the same reason- they go with pretty much everything!
SavBanav
January 27, 2016 at 7:39 pmThose all look amazing! I’ve heard that MAC’s Honey Love lipstick is a great nude shade as well. I’ve honestly been loving pretty much everything right now- the Victoria’s Secret lip glosses are some of my favorites, plus various Sephora lipsticks as well. The Chanel lipstick looks absolutely gorgeous!
