Hello lovely followers!
I've been on the hunt for the perfect nude lipstick now for SO long. My problem is, i have very pigmented lips (from living in dubai for 23 years, the sun will get ya!) and a very warm complexion.
My skin is very yellow, and due to the pigmented lips, a lot of nudes make me look either sick or dead!
So i scoured the internet for hours, looking for the perfect wearable nude. It took a while, but i found these two!
Unfortunately, they are MAC lipsticks so they retail at £14 each. But i had £5 of points to spend (at debenhams) and instead they came to £23!
I know Debenhams is also having 10% off all beauty so currently their lipsticks are £12.60!

I decided on getting two different shades of nude. Blankety and Velvet teddy (both mac, obviously)
First up: Blankety
Described by MAC as a 'soft pink beige', it is literally my perfect nude lipstick. The finish of the lipstick is amplified so its quite pigmented, and almost a little drying (but that's because i have dry lips normally). It really is one of those 'your lips, but better' shades. I'm in love!
Next up: Velvet teddy
This lipstick is a matte lipstick, described as a 'deep tone beige'. This also is very much like my natural lip colour. The tone is deeper, with more of reddish tone as opposed to a pink tone like blankety. I really love this for more of a classier look :)
Here's swatches of the two :)
