One thing that is a staple in my makeup collection and that I have a hoard of are nude lipsticks, personally I don't think bright and bold lip colours suit me and that my skin tone is more suited to natural and nude shades so over the years I have come up with a list of 5 of my favourite nude lip colours that I know suit me. 
1. The L'Oreal Color riche in Jlo's nude - This lipstick is absolutely beautiful and is the perfect blend of brown and pink to make the perfect nude for my skin tone, the lipstick applies with a glossy finish and is lovely and moisturising and has a rose scent ( a little like Parma violets) which I think is made by rose oil in the lipsticks formula to make it moisturising. The lipstick is reasonably long wearing but because it's not a matte finish it doesn't last as long but still has a good wearing time for the type of lipstick it is. The lipstick it's self comes in black matte packaging which the L'Oreal logo in gold and Jlo's signature in gold further down showing it's her lipstick as well as the name and shade stuck to the bottom so if you put it in a lipstick stand you can till see which lipstick it is. But overall this is my favourite of all the lipsticks I'm going to talk about and if at a reasonable drug store price that makes it available for almost everyone; I've almost finished my current one and will definitely be re-purchasing it! 
2. The forever 21 lipstick in oatmeal - This lipstick is a beautiful nude brown shade, a little darker than the L'Oreal one and is once again a glossy finish. It also quite long lasting for a glossy finish lipstick and is not drying although not as moisturising as the L'Oreal one, the lipstick doesn't really have a scent and just smells like regular lipsticks. The lipstick come in gold reflective packaging and has the brand further down the packet with the shade on the bottom once again so works for lipstick holders. Although the only problem with the packaging is that the lid can come of sometimes when it's in my bag or makeup bag, although the price of the lipstick makes up for it because of how cheap it is. So overall this lipstick is amazing for the price and is a beautiful shade which I would say is definately picking it up. 
3. The Benefit lip gloss in Fauxmance - This is one of my favourite nude lipsticks and is in a beautiful dusty rose shade which again helps to compliment my skin tone. As it is a gloss it has a glossy finish which does mean it doesn't last as long, the lip-gloss comes out very pigmented and doesn't have a sticky formula or finish but if it is windy I wouldn't recommend wearing it with your hair down! The packaging the lipgloss comes in is absolutely beautiful just like the rest of the Benefit packaging and has a retro circus look about it with a clear plastic top so you can see the lip colour and a white twist lid. The applicator is just a basic plastic one which is attached to the tube and isn't really anything special, the glosses sent isn't really anything shocking and does just smell like a lip gloss. Overall I do love this gloss as it is absolutely beautiful and isn't your classic nude although; as it's from Benefit it isn't the cheapest at the higher end of the teens but I would say it is worth it if you have to money to spend! 
4. The Soap and Glory sexy mother pucker in Rose and Shine - This again is one of my favourite nude lip-glosses and is more of the classic soft pink nude. I would say the colour is a soft, dusty pink, isn't the most pigmented and isn't as much as the Benefit one ,but, is also a softer colour. It also isn't a sticky formula and just has a beautiful glossy finish which isn't too much but just adds a little something to your lips. The thing that makes this product stand out the most though is the plumping action that it has, this could also be a reason as to why people may dislike this product and I will say if you don't like tingly lipglosses you definitely wont like this as it does tingle a lot and definitely plumps my lips. Personly I would say it is one of the most tingly lip glosses I have had but it does improve the fullness of my lips and this is definitely one of the reasons I like it so much. The lipgloss comes in glass clear and black packaging so you can see the products with the logo and name on the clear glass part and the shade on the bottom once again making it perfect for storage, the product is also very affordable as it's a drugstore lip products. Overall I really like this lip colour and if you want a more traditional nude lip gloss I think this would be perfect for you.
5. The Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain in 001 honey - This is a beautiful crayon nude which I have been a fan of since they came out a few years ago because of the easiness and speed of the product. It is also really long wearing because of the crayon application it despite still having a not completely matte finish. The product is a beautiful rosy pink shade and is a little bit of a darker nude and means you can switch it up even if your not a fan of bright lip colours. The product has a very smooth application and comes with a lot of product, it has a slightly minty scent to it although it not being a tingly on your lips, the product comes in a long crayon shaped tube in a similar dusty pink shade to the actual lip colour showing the shade and did come with the name written on it in white although it has worn of over time although it also has the shade on the bottom. Once again this is also one of my favourite nudes especially if I don't want to go for a traditional nude. Lots of Love
