Sheer Nude Lip Glosses from Fresh Beauty and Smith & Cult
Nude sheer glosses are essential for easy summer makeup looks. I am already in love with the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments, so I knew their Sugar Shine Lip Treatments would be a hit in my collection. I wasn't sure what to expect with the new Smith & Cult lip lacquers, but I am already a fan of their polishes (see my post on them here) so I had high hopes.
1. Fresh Sugar Shine Lip Treatment in Rose, Honey and Nude - There are much bolder shades in this collection, but I was instantly drawn to these natural shades that are perfect for everyday wear. The Rose shade had the most pigmentation and looked like "my lip color but better" when on, while the Honey and Nude shades were very natural and a great layering piece. The texture is much thicker than I anticipated and did not have as much slip as I would like, but the way it made my lips feel and how well they stayed hydrated made up for it completely. It's nice to have a gloss option in my collection that can also double as a lip treatment.
2. Smith & Cult Lip Lacquers in Her Name Bubbles and Life in Photographs - As I said earlier, I already love the polishes (and the names - they always get me), and from the looks of the glosses in the tube they seemed promising. As you can see from the above swatches, they are VERY sheer. And both shades almost looked identical when on which was a bit disappointing. But the major selling point for me was how great they felt on my lips. They have a jelly-like finish and glide right on without disrupting any lipstick I may already be wearing. Since I have only tried these two shades, I cannot speak to how pigmented the brighter shades will be but it may be worth trying if you like bold colors with a sheer and wearable finish.

Sheer Nude Lip Colors
More nude sheer lip colors have been added to my collection - making my final total somewhere in the millions I would assume. (kidding, sort of) They are all new launches and are the perfect lip to welcome spring.
1. YSL Glossy Stain in 208 Wet Nude from the Pop Water Collection - This is my second one of the YSL Glossy Stains and they are growing on me. They are not my favorite lip formula of all time, but I do like how long they last on my lips along with the color range. I picked up this new release and thought it would be a beautiful coral nude for spring. It definitely skews a bit more pink on me than I anticipated but I still love the color on my lips. Typically I need to add a balm or nourishing gloss over top to keep my lips hydrated throughout the day, but the base color of the glossy stain wears at least 8-10 hours on my lips.
2. .mark All Butter Now Lip Treat in Bare All - The formula of this balm is nice because it makes my lips feel smooth and hydrated but also gives more coverage than similar balm formulas. This shade looks a bit more brown on the lips than pink or coral, which is nice change from what I typically wear on the lips. I've been keeping this in my purse recently to add on top of other lip colors to help extend the color while giving my lips a bit of moisture midday.
3. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Nude - If you are already a fan of Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments, then you will most definitely love this new color release. It's a nice sheer pinky nude that has just a hint of shine. One thing I did notice with this one was the stick felt a lot harder than the previous colors which was a welcome change. I love the sugar lip treatments, but they are so soft and can melt rather quickly if I'm not too careful about remembering to take them out of my bag. The Nude shade holds up a lot better in my purse and doesn't soften as easily.
4. Chanel Rouge Coco in Adrienne -There was so much buzz around this new Chanel Rouge Coco launch that I knew I had to pick one up just to quell my curiosity. I grabbed the popular nude shade called Adrienne and though it is a bit more nude than I prefer, the formula is creamy and moisturizing on the lips. I haven't decided if I love it enough to buy more colors, but am happy with the one I purchased.
5. Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector in My Pink and My Coral - I have never tried the other Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfectors, so I can't compare it to these, but that being said - I absolutely adore this formula. The texture is moisturizing and helps to smooth out my lips more than many of my other balm/lipstick formulations. I already have it in the Nude Rose shade and was excited to get the other two lighter colors in the collection. The My Coral is a nice punchy pop of coral on the lips and doesn't look too nude or too bright - it falls perfectly in the middle. The My Pink shade looks like my lip color but amped up a bit. I love using this over other shades to give a bit of shine and moisture or on the weekends when I am not wearing makeup but want something hydrating on my lips. These are a must have in my opinion and I really think Clarins knocked it out of the park with these.

Review: Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colors
I'm a sucker for a new lip launch. Especially if that lip launch is a lipstick. Even better if it's a liquid lipstick. Full bonus if it's a matte finish. Thankfully the new Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colors encompasses all of these things into one product. *happy dance* I do love a matte lip even more than a glossy lip, but they can always be tricky when it comes to lip moisture levels. I've been testing these liquid lip colors for the past week or two and am pleasantly surprised with how they perform.
There are a total of 9 colors in this new launch - everything from pale nudes, to punchy corals and vibrant fuchsias and reds. I have tried a little bit from each category and the first thing to pop out at me is the intense color pay-off. They can be sheered out if only used sparingly, but when applied directly from the tube they will give an opaque coverage. Which frankly is fine by me - the more color, the better.
I have been testing four shades - Nude Rose, Petal Pink, Vermillion Red and Orchid Pink. Most are a cream finish but I believe there are one or two shades with a hint of shimmer. The initial feel on the lips is incredibly creamy - very different from the tugging and pulling of other liquid matte lipsticks. It's almost slippery, and you have to start slowly when applying bright or bold colors because it can get a tad messy. But since the applicator has a nice narrow shape, it enables me to easily line the lips slightly and then fill in so I get a more precise application.
My favorite by far was the Vermillion shade - a bright vibrant orange red. It takes a few minutes for the shade to dry down to a demi-matte finish but there is still a slight creaminess that stays on the lip which helped keep my lips comfortable and hydrated. No, not the kind of hydration that a lip balm provides, but surprisingly more than many of my regular lipsticks. With such intense pigmentation, you can be sure these will last long on the lips. Even after wiping off the arm swatches for this post, I had to break out a cleansing oil to fully remove them. These have some serious staining powering so be prepared. But overall they manage to blend the best of two worlds - the intense look of a matte lipstick with the creamy texture of a liquid lipstick.

My Lip Color But Better
I have amassed quite a collection (no surprise to anyone, I'm sure) and here is a run down of all the colors and swatches.
1. Cover Girl Lip Perfection in shade 210 - This was a complete impulse purchase, on a whim, not sure I even really wanted it - but low and behold I am loving this pencil style lip. Easy, quick and can be applied without a mirror.
2. Ilia in Nobody's Baby - Another shocker out-of-the-gate when I tried this product - it is technically a tinted lip conditioner but the coverage is just like a lipstick. Best of both worlds.
3. Dior Addict in Blush - A bit bolder but still wearable for any occasion - I love this when my eye makeup is a bit lighter and I need a lip to pull it all together. Plus the packaging is sparkly, shiny and mesmerizing. Sold.
4. Chantecaille Lip Chic in Anais - Whoa. Mind blown. I had read reviews of these lipsticks online and darn those Nordstrom reviewers can be so convincing - but thank goodness they were right. These lipsticks are everything - glides on with great coverage and lasts forever, but still manages to be sheer and nourishing on the lips. My lips actually feel they are getting better the longer I wear this. And this color - perfection - seriously. Not too nude, not too pink, not too brown - the best of all worlds.
5. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy - I like this color, I don't love this color. This has been the first product from Chanel that did not knock my socks off, and I was a tad heartbroken. The color is so sheer it's almost non-existent, so I tend to use it as a base and layer other colors on top. Oh well - you win some lips, you lose some lips.
6. Chantecaille Lip Chic in Daphne - Yes, the first was so good I had to buy a second. A much more vibrant peach shade, this looks beautiful with a brown smoky eye and bronzed cheek. Summer will be now known as the season of the Daphne lip.
7. Loreal Colour Riche Lip Balm in Nourishing Nude - I stare at these every time I run into the drugstore to get my daily Diet Coke during lunch, and finally snagged one on a particularly stressful day. I threw it on as soon as I got back to my desk and viola! Day made. The color is gorgeous as a rich rose-brown and the texture matches the name - nourishing. Do I need all the other colors? Most definitely I do.
8. Dior Addict Lipstick in LA - Aw man, I was really excited to get another one of these lipsticks and then I ended up buying almost the exact same shade. Womp, womp. But this color is a tad more sheer and shiny so it reads much less intense on the lips so in my mind I have made peace with the purchase.

Beauty Bits: Nude Lip Favorites
As a beauty blogger, I feel it almost necessary to be wowed and in awe
of all the bright lips running rampant in the beauty and fashion world
each season. But ultimately I find myself in front of the makeup
counter at Saks and what do I reach for? NUDES. Always and forever.
That being said, my collection (hoarders always think they are
"collectors", so humor me, would ya?) is never without multiple bold and
bright lip options, but boy do I love a neutral lip. So I figured that
I would try (it was a struggle) and narrow it down to my favorite (for now......) nude lip colors.
You may think I forgot to include my favorite nude glosses in here, but I typically prefer lipsticks over their glossier counterparts. The colors I have chosen run the gamut from full coverage to sheer, pink to brown based and matte finish to satin finish, but I love them all equally. Starting from the top (in clockwise order): Hourglass Liquid Lipstick in Canvas, Giorgio Armani Rouge D'Armani 102, NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita, MAC lipstick in Modesty, Flower Beauty lipstick in Petal Kiss, Burberry Lip Cover in Cameo, and NARS lipstick in Dolce Vita. Below I have swatched them all for your viewing (and possibly purchasing - you are gals after my own heart) pleasure.
