So let’s talk about my favourite
nudes, pinky nudes, dusty rose, mauve- that family of colours is what I wear
everyday but rotate different shades so they look quite consistent with
whatever look I go for. I know sometimes these colours can look very similar
in the bottle but I can assure you that each of these colours are different and
definitely look even more different on the lips so I’ve definitely not been
just collecting the same shade from different brands.
#1 Colourpop Ultra Matte in Chi –This one’s from the Karrueche’s range which
had three liquid lipsticks – Chi, Kae and Rooch and this is the lightest shade
from them. 'Chi' is a very grey-nude or ‘Greige’ which is very popular at the
moment. A cool toned shade and definitely something that took me a little time
getting used to. I hated it in the beginning but it grew on me eventually. This comes in the Ultra Matte Formula and if
I feel like it’s looking too grey/ dead looking, I layer a little moisturizing
lipstick on top to warm up the colour as well as keep my lips from feeling
super dry. It definitely looks much better on my warm skintone when I mix it in
with another shade and I am loving it ever since. Staying power is decent but
disappears after a meal and since it’s a fairly light shade doesn’t get messy.

#2 Limecrime Velvetines in Pumpkin – These liquid
lipstick are super pigmented and opaque. They are totally transfer proof and dry down true to the shade in the tube. They do last through meals too and won’t
come off easily either even after 12 hour days. I have to seriously scrub it off with an oil cleanser. This stuff once on is going to
last you all day. They come in tons of shades but this one in particular is such a unique nude – a warm, brown, with hints
of burnt orange. It’s a great fall colour but also good as an everyday shade
for warmer skintones. It is definitely something I’ve never owned before, not
even in lipstick form. Also, the packaging is super cute with the roses on the
cap and an opaque glass bottle. This is a heavy duty lipstick so it can be a little drying sometimes but the staying power is the best out of all. Major love for this one!
Net Wt: 2.6ml for $20 (but you can get them at much lower prices during sales)
#3 NYX Liquid Suede in
Sandstorm, Soft Spoken
This is one of my favourite
liquid lipstick ranges and has been ever since it came out. I can’t do without
these two shades in my collection and will quite possibly repurchase if I ever
run out of them but it’s quite impossible to be honest.
Sandstorm looks extremely similar
to the colourpop one but it’s actually true to the colour in the tube while the
colourpop turns a little darker as it dries so they’re totally different
colours on application. It does have the similar greige look but slightly
lighter and looks wonderful with darker eye looks or smokey eyes.
Soft Spoken is one of my go-to
everyday shades. It is a beautiful dusty rose that suits pretty much everyone.
I can see it goes with a lot of complexions and the one that I reach for the most in my collection.
These NYX liquid lipsticks have a velvety texture and are actually very comfortable on the lips and don’t
dry them out and also disappear without a sign.
Net Wt: 6ml for $7
#4 Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid
Catsuit in Rebel Rose
A new addition to my collection
because this range from Wet n Wild has taken the beauty world by a storm for
being incredibly affordable but comparable to high end brands in quality and
staying power. Rebel Rose is a deep, mauvey colour is so so beautiful on the lips and
gives a completely matte look that dries down under a minute. I love how it
feels on the lips, very comfortable. It isn’t as easy to wear like the nyx ones
because you will definitely feel like you have something on your lips but if
you wear these long enough, you end up getting used to the feeling. I love the end result and the staying power. Love that the packaging is tiny but you still get the same amount of product as the other ones.

#5 Essence XXXL Longlasting
Lipgloss Matte in Soft Nude
Essence has since re-packaged and
come out with a completely new range of liquid lipsticks but I’m still
using this Soft Nude one because there’s a lot of it left. To be honest, I
don’t wear it on it’s own because it has a mousse texture that doesn’t dry
down. It’s not a true liquid lipstick in that sense but more like NYX Soft lip
creams in texture. However, it's fantastic for layering over other liquid
lipsticks and this shade is so beautiful with a hint of warm pink in it. I love
wearing it over the Colourpop Chi and NYX Sandstorm to warm them up slightly. This range is also
incredibly moisturizing and feels like a lip balm on my lips so definitely
helps in making extremely dry liquid lipsticks like the 'Ultra Matte' more wearable.

#6 MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Laquer in
Dash
Lastly, this lip laquer from MUA
is an old favourite and I’ve featured it in posts before but it’s the
ultimate dark lip for me when it comes to a day look. It’s a deep, berry mauve
and a nice option if you’re not willing to go full on bright red in the
daytime. Also, it smells like grape candy. At least that’s what the smell reminds
me of and I do quite enjoy it. It does crack after meals and needs some
touchups, reapplication which is why I don’t wear it too often but still it’s
too beautiful to let go of. It looks fantastic if you're just out for coffee or small snacks but won't last through a meal.
Net wt: 6ml for £3
