I am always looking for the perfect shade of nude lipstick. I feel what might read as “nude” on  the tube may really come out as “mauve”, “pink”,or just plain “muddy”.  So, the other day when I needed a quick pick-me-up for my lips I decided to grab a random Maybelline lip-plumping lipstick that said it was “In The Nude”, I thought, “if its too pink, I don’t care because it was cheap anyway”.

Well, to my surprise it was actually what it said it was, NUDE.  Who knew? And as an added bonus it had a slight tingle, that gave my lips a little plump.  It moisturized them nicely too, and in the winter that’s a major plus.

So, thank you Maybelline for being affordable and honest, and for doing right by my lips!
