Nude Obsession?

It's safe to say that I  tend to gravitate to the nude lip look more often than ever. I love a good nude lip, its just simple and easy to whip out and goes with just about any look you have on. Sometimes i can just reapply my lipstick without even having to worry about looking into a mirror.

Now a few of these shades may seem a little on the darker nude side and some people may not even consider then nude. But with my NC40 skin tone these few shades are just complimenting of my warm undertones. Looking dead is not cute, so nude shades with more darker brown hues or even pink undertones suit me perfectly. Everyone is different and depending on  your skin colour  as well as personal preference your choice of nude lipstick shade will vary.

Anyways enough with the rambling, these are the *cough* few nude lipstick shades I carry around in my makeup bag. How did i accumulate all these lippies is beyond me, I guess you can never have one too many *spoken like a true beauty junkie*

The First 3 To Go

I did it!  I  finished 3 beauty products and boy am i happy about it!!! As i mentioned in a post sometime ago HERE, i have been making a conscious effort to use up some unloved products, and voila i have!!
3 down a billion more to go;)

Here are my mini reviews of the items i'm done with;


Benefit BadGal Lash - I really like this mascara, granted this is a sample but i have previously owned the full size and enjoyed it. It mostly elongates the lashes,not much volume is added but it does a decent job. Now, i recently purchased the Benefit They're Real mascara, but i have yet to open it. You know the whole * I'm trying to use up what is opened and making my way through the ton of mascara I have somehow accumulated*  Is this a repurchase, yes but not at this very moment.

Smashbox PhotoFinish Light Primer and  Rimmel Fix and Perfect - I'm on the fence with primers. No i lie, actually I  don't see a difference with using them. It's just one additional step in my daily routine that i could actually do without. These 2 did not wow me. I didn't notice my makeup staying on any longer neither was there any oil control.  So not a repurchase for me. I do have others to try and i'm currently using Benefits Porefessional but i'm still very much on the fence.

 Have you finished up any products lately?
