Nude lippies

For the past few weeks I've been on the quest for the perfect nude lippie.

It's kinda hard to find the perfect one for my skin since most of the nude lippies (when you approach the salesladies) are better suited for skin tones a couple of steps darker than mine and well I'm too pale for any of them. When I do find a lippie that's sort of "nude", they will recommend the pink lippies and the first few tries were always the baby pink type of nude (MAC's Angel and Revlon Lacquer Balm in my previous post).

As seen above, the effect is nearly the same but MAC's is a bit brighter and more baby pink in better lighting.

So I set out to find more nude lippies aside from my L'oreal, Revlon Lipstick, and Revlon Colorburst one. So to recap: 

1) I have Revlon Creme 125 Nude Velvet and it's nude-ish with pink but it's still a bit dark to be the nude that I am looking for, but "nude" enough to be great for everyday use! The look it has on me is a bit more brownish compared to the next L'oreal one

2) I have the L’oreal BP401 Beige Sienna and the effect is a brownish peach good for everyday looks. 

3) I have the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter 095 Creme Brulee although I don't have a picture of wearing it alone yet. And the effect is a little too tan for my taste and the color's very sheer so I swipe it across my lips a lot to get a somewhat opaque color.

So I still haven't found THE nude lippie and--

I finally found the lipstick!

This week I got to buy 2 lippies and one of them is what I think is my nude lippie.

The two lippies are:

Misslyn 06 Mannequin

Misslyn costs P559.00 in Watsons, and it is available in selected SM Dept Stores and Watson branches.

Very creamy formula and has a sheer shimmering finish and can be built up to have an opaque color but, like the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter, it needs a lotta swipes just to get the opaque color. 

The finish is nude-ish and perfect for everyday but the color's too close to my lip color (which you will see later) so I couldn't dub it as THE nude lippie I'm looking for. 

GOSH 134 Darling

 I personally dub it as THE nude lippie I am looking for.

GOSH Lipstick costs P599.00 and is available in selected SM Dept Stores and Watson branches.

Very very creamy formula, much like the NYX lipsticks and I sort of bent it when I was applying it on my lips so be careful should you chose to buy this lippie.

Has a matte-ish finish.

Some people will find it too pale and make them look sick but since I'm very very pale, it doesn't have that effect on me (imo). I can probably recommend this to people with my skin tone.

For the swatches: (Misslyn on top, GOSH below)

Below are pictures of what it looks like when worn. I refused to take a full face pic since my hair looks horrible-- well, I look horrible.

So for the before look: No lippie!

Here's Misslyn in Mannequin:

And here's GOSH in Darling:

It looks a bit awkward in the photo but over-all I like the effect on me :) I think it's the lippie I'm looking for and I look forward to finding out how long it'll last when worn.
