I am a sucker for nude lipstick. I am not quite sure why. I know it is not everyone’s ‘cup of tea’ but I think a nude lip is just great because it makes you look fresh and it also brings attention to your eye make up. For a while, I was using MAC’s Creme D’Nude. Creme D’Nude is a MAC Cremesheen, meaning that it is opaque and has an almost creamy look in your lips. Cremesheens are also really moisturizing. When I first got Creme D’Nude, I thought it was the Ultimate Nude. I was obsessed. But then ELF (www.EYESLIPSFACE.com) sent me their MINERAL LIPSTICK in NATURAL NYMPH and I feel in love all over again. NATURAL NYMPH is the ultimate nude. 

It, too, is moisturizing and opaque. I have noticed that it has much greater staying power than Creme D’Nude also. NATURAL NYMPH does not have that vanilla scent that MAC lipsticks have but I actually prefer that because the vanilla scent gets annoying and makes the lipstick feel heavy. NATURAL NYMPH is unscented, which I like. And the best part is that ELF MINERAL LIPSTICKS are only $5!! MAC lipsticks are $14, that is almost triple the cost of the ELF one!

I also tried the ELF MINERAL LIPSTICK in RUNAWAY PINK, which is a light nudish pink. It reminded me of MAC’s Angel but I definitely prefer ELF’s formula. ELF MINERAL LIPSTICKS come in sixteen lovely colors. I cannot wait to get some more!

Also a side note about nude lipstick. I recommend that after you apply a nude lipstick, you use a lip brush to blend the lipstick out around the edges because there is nothing worse than a nude lip with your natural lip color peeking out around the edges, therefore breaking up the sleekness of a nude lip.

The last ELF product that I tried was the MINTY LIP GLOSS. Online these look very very sparkly but in reality they are not so, and I was quite happy about that actually. I tried the MINTY LIP GLOSS in NASHVILLE, which is a nude color. It looks great over NATURAL NYMPH! The scent is lovely since it is only slightly minty and the gloss feels so refreshing on your lips. The formula is also great because it is not sticky at all! I definitely recommend this gloss. It comes in nine colors and all of the names of the glosses are names of cities. Isn’t that so cute?? Each of them are $3. Such a great deal! Go out and buy them! They are seriously amazing!
