4 Fab Drugstore Nudes

The nude lip is something which has, among other things, taken the beauty world by storm over the last 6 months.... did you notice?
 With Kylie Jenner being the role models we all look up to ... obvs, subtle nudes/browns and awesome lipliners have been flying off the shelves!
90s nudes were something I thought I would never see me rocking but with a few practice go's I've decided I love the look and alongside my favourite MAC baby Velvet Teddy I've invested in some newbies and dug out some old classics! Here's 4 of my favs!
Left to right :

Bourjois Velvet Rouge Edition - Nude-ist
I love this gorgeous matte colour! Compared to the others it looks more pinky/red but on the lips it is a gorgeous dark nude colour. These bourjois liquid lipsticks stay on SO well, for hours and hours without any re-application! If you looking for a product with great stay-time this collection is brilliant.

Maybelinne Colour Drama - Nude Perfection
This is currently my newest lip product I've bought. I have been looking at it for MONTHS now and at only £4.99 I have no idea why I haven't picked it up sooner. I have to say out of the 4 this is probably my favourite for quality and colour. It's a little darker than velvet teddy but if you're looking for a cheap alternative for a good new - this is the one.

Barry M Lipgloss - Toffee
The classic now.... I could not tell you how many of these I've been through since I was a teenager. This used to be my everyday lip colour, I was obsessed and probably applied it 90 times a day! It smells amazing too, it's about time I bought a new one. It's perfect to use of the top of Nude Perfection aswell.

Rimmel Apocalips - Nude Eclipse
The lightest of the four now. This one, for me, is definitely one to wear with a lipliner underneath. I think without it, it's slightly too light for my colouring but with it makes a gorgeous everyday colour! I love the rimmel apocalips and basically own them all, the best cheap liquid lipstick, they last and have an awesome range of colours!

ApocaLOVE ApocaLUST - APOCALIPS


So, if you have read my blog recently you would have noticed I have mentioned the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer's a good few times.... ( To be exact 4 different posts! - Beauty Buys Of The WeekJune FavouritesDay To Night in 4 Steps & What's In My Bag?) so when I saw that Rimmel were holding a competition on their twitter to win the complete collection I was all over it in a millisecond! (and guess what.... I only went and blooming won!)
Obviously this had me VERY excited and I also thought - what a great blog post to do!
 So many people on twitter have been asking me about them and the different colours and this is the perfect way to showcase all of them and what they look like! 
They honestly are officially my new favourite lip products out there on the market at the moment! So thick, pigmented and they last for ages without being sticky, tacky or drying out the lips!
I'd been dying to try all of the shades and I am happy to say that none of them have disappointed  such a good variety and I have finally found a red lipgloss I LOVE with Big Bang! (Been looking for what seems forever!)

                  
There is literally a colour here for all occassions and I can't wait to wear them all! Normally on a day to day basis (and when I go out in the evenings!) I wear a lipstick with a gloss over the top to get a good opaque colour, shine and to stop my lips drying out but with these I don't need to do that! 
They are all that in one in jut one tube and I love it! I can't recommend them enough!
Sorry the photos below aren't the greatest quality but hopefully you get the gist of what they look like on! (Big Bang is alot redder in real life but you can see that in the arm swatch!) 
Have you tried any of the Apcoalips? Which one/s are your favourite? Did you find this post helpful? Please let me know below and if you liked this post and my blog make sure you follow via GFc & Bloglovin (links in sidebar!)
