I think at some point or another most lipstick lovers like myself have had the arduous task of scouring the makeup isles in search for the perfect nude lip shade. Often the lipstick labels can be deceptive and what appears to be a perfectly tanned nude to match your complexion, turns out being too pasty and ends up looking like frosting on the lips rather than a subtle nude.
When I finally came across the perfect nude lip shade to suit my skin tone, I was surprised to find it was actually a budget brand and one that certainly doesn’t break the bank. I finally found my perfect shade of nude with NYC’s Expert Colour Last Lipstick in shade Love My Latte. At only £1.99 I could not believe my luck. Yes you read that price correctly. After countless times of mixing lip liners and lipsticks together in order to make my own unique shade, I’d finally found the exact one I’d been endlessly searching for.
I don’t think I need to sell you anymore on this one, as if you’re reading this post I’m guessing you’ve already found what you were looking for and at a price you can’t say no to. But I shall add that this lipstick has a creamy texture, so it glides onto the lips easily and does not dry out. I also like how the lipstick is matte so it gives an natural appearance on the lips.
The only downside I can give to this lipstick is that the lid often falls off and as the lipstick doesn’t twist down fully into the base, it can be a bit of a nightmare if it falls off in your handbag. But if you’re aware that this may occur, you can carry it in a small makeup bag to prevent any handbag mishaps. Overall I’d give this lipstick a big thumbs up and taking the price into consideration I would defiantly recommend it.
