Into the Nude

Disclaimer: All thoughts herein stated are entirely my own.

When it comes to lipstick stash, I think I got the reds covered. My titas (aunts) knows my penchant love for red lipstick so I constantly receive all kinds of reds from them, the recent one I've got is a Dark Wine shade from B's mom.

But there are days or occasions when I feel I wanted to tone down my look. And the lightest shade I have in my stash is the Vintage Pink from Rimmel, but I've consumed more than half of it already. So my hungry lipstick self decided I wanted a nude. After days (yes, it took me days) of searching for different shades of nude and reading a number of reviews, my next problem was whether to get it online or personally go to the mall so I can test them all first. You see, I am having some quite of hesitations whether that particular shade would suit me.

When I realized that going to the mall isn't going to happen because of our tight review schedule, I decided to sign up at BeautyMNL. I chose L'oreal's Beige Sienna. I have been a lucky girl because after I placed my order, that particular shade became sold out. But I think I was even luckier to find out that BeautyMNL offers 20% off on your first purchase. Isn't that such a deal? *happy dance*  You girls will be happy to know that they offer a 10 % rebate on succeeding purchases.

Personally, I like how this shade turned out. It may be too light for some, but it achieved what I was looking for in a nude lipstick. It's like it's there, but not really. That's the point, right? It's perfect for when you want to focus your look in some other features of your face. The lipstick also has this creamy, luxurious feel that doesn't make my lips dry. Plus, it's affordable too. When it comes to its lasting power, I didn't think it lasted for over three hours (I've had coffee and water in between those hours). But I don't mind re- applying it so I guess that's really no problem for me. Would I purchase it again? Yes, definitely. But I would also like to try on other nude shades as well.
