My Favourite Nude Lipsticks For All Budgets! | Maybelline, Bourjois, Collection

Having naturally darker pigmented lips makes finding a nude lipstick more difficult. Here are my favourite nude lipsticks for NC30-35 skin tones!
I would always recommend heading in-store to see what a shade of lippy looks like, these may not work for everyone.

Maybelline colour sensational lipstick in My Mahogany, 225
Maybelline moisture extreme lipstick in Pinky Beige, 721
Collection (2000) lasting colour lipstick in Lasting Rose, 13
Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in Rose Tweed, 04


As you can tell, I tend towards more browny-mauvey nudes, which compliment yellower skin tones.

All of these choices are very hydrating, slightly sheen and have an average wear depending on how much you eat and drink with them! They may seem very pink, but when worn they are quite a lot nuder!

Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Quads - Golden Goddess and Dolce Vita

Golden Goddess and Dolce Vita

Sorry about the picture, I can't find the rotate image button on Blogger.... #fail


But the orientation of the image still doesn't deter your attention from the amazingness that is the CT Eyeshadow Quads.

They are designed for Desk, Dusk and Disco looks (check out her website for tutorials!). So the are very multi-functional.

First, a light base/highlight colour in the top left, the going clockwise around the quad we have a base/possibly a crease shade, then a defintion shade and lastly a pop of colour for the centre of the lid (usually a glitter).

When I first used them I thought they weren't very pigmented, especialy for the price. However, I think that's the point. It's a gradual build up colour that is acheived with no effort at all. All the shades blend nicely, and I particularly have been enjoying the highlight colour of the Dolce Vita palette.

Overall, these are nice, travel-friendly, multi-functional palettes. I can get so many looks from just one quad! Worth the investment, especially if you can get 10% off like I did from Selfridges ;)

Have you tried any CT eyeshadows? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts and possibly a recommendation for my next one!

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Lipstick in Bond Girl

Quick review today of my favourite matte lip: CT's Bond Girl,

It's a mauve/red and looks beautiful on NC30 skin. Perfect for that "your lips but better" effect.

For a matte lipstick especially, it glides on and stays in place for a good 5/6 hours before needing to reapply. It's quite creamy for a matte lip, and surprisingly the ingrediants make sure to keep your lips nourished.

Another fantastic product from the CT range. I've also purchased a few CT quads, so watch out for those on the blog tomorrow.

Which CT lip products have you tried?
