The perfect nude

If you love (or even just slightly interested in) makeup, then you'll understand when I say that the quest for the perfect nude lipstick can seem like an uphill battle most days. Finding that illusive beauty item that will suit your complexion and not look like a dead person seem so hard. The only real solution is to try them out in person, and to keep trying until you find THE ONE.

For the longest time, my perfect nude lipstick has been MAC's Fresh Brew. I was obsessed with this lipstick that it felt like cheating when I would try to find another one.

Alas, I think Fresh Brew has been replaced not just by one but by two lipsticks, and cheap ones at that!
 These Essence lipsticks cost $2.49 Cdn each...awesome, right? Best of all, they have a creamy texture, and does not have a funky taste which some brands unfortunately have.


To add a bit more shine, I put on top this Essence gloss in Nude Kiss, which I believe costs $2.99Cdn.

Essence is a German brand, but you can find them in Canada in Shoppers Drug Mart. In the US, I believe they're available in Ulta.

Have you found your perfect nude lipstick? Do tell:)

I was into pink for a while, I still am I guess, but at the same time turned a bit towards nudes, hence bought 2 Rimmel (012 Guest List and 206 Nude Pink) which seem to be on top of my list these days..

PS. I don't think we have "essence" in Finland, but I'm going on holiday to Austria in one week, and maybe I find them there, I've heard they are good and cheap.

These colors look really pretty. For some reason I 90% purchase soft pinks for myself.

I love finding bargain beauty bits! I've never worn a nude lip before, it's bright or nothing with me xxx

I'm also in love with the fresh brew, that's what I wear when I don't feel like using color on my lips, this new lipstick looks good would definitely try it & the price is right...

finding the perfect nude depends on the pigmentation in your lips. mine are not very pigmented, so most look awful on me. i use a brown lip liner, ala the 90s, to fill in the lip, and then i can wear most anything. pinky-nudes look the best on me.
I love essence glosses! I don´t normally use lipstick, but I use glosses quite a lot. Kisses! <3<3

Love sushi and fashion
