The Best Nude Liquid Lipsticks on the Market

Liquid lipsticks have taken up a storm for the past 2 years and we're not complaining. As huge liquid lipstick enthusiasts, we are always on the lookout for the next best formula and color. Today we are talking about the ultimate nude liquid lipsticks. Finding a true nude liquid lipstick can be very difficult especially since each color can look different on each skin tone, but we think we found some great ones!

From left to right: Venus, Bow N Arrow, Truffle, and Stripped

The liquid lipstick we want to talk about is the newest of them all, the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick. The shade swatched above is the color Venus. Venus is described as a deep taupe-nude and it can't be more spot on. We absolutely adore this color. Now what about the formula? Huda Kattan kept us waiting for a very long time for her Liquid Matte Lipstick launch making amazing claims such as "the most comfortable, long-lasting liquid lipstick." So you know we had to give it a try! We snagged Venus as soon as it hit Sephora's website.

Consistency: The consistency of this lipstick is more on the liquid side compared to the other liquid lipsticks swatched above. If we were to compare it to other liquid lipsticks consistencies, we would say it is more similar to Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks as well as Lime Crime's Velvetines. It most definitely does not have a mousey consistency like the Dose of Colors and Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipsticks.

Comfort Level: Every liquid lipstick is bound to be drying, but the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick is more comfortable than other liquid lipsticks we have tried. It is, of course, recommended to prep the lips by exfoliating and adding lip balm and/or lip primer.

Wear Time: You can go for a good 6 hour wear time with this liquid lipstick, but once you start eating (especially greasy food) the liquid lipstick may begin to fade especially in the inner rim of your lips.

Reapplying/Layering: You can reapply this liquid lipstick with minimal crusting. It layers beautifully and is easy to reapply if you see the color fading.

Transferability: There is absolutely no transfer once dried to a complete matte.

You can buy the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick at Sephora and Huda Beauty's Website.

The dry shampoo that changed my life!

Dry shampoo is like magic! If you get your hands on a reliable one that does the job and smells great, it changes your whole life (okay, maybe just your hair care routine)!

A few months ago I came across Drybar's Triple Sec 3-in-1 which is a volumizer, texturizer, and dry shampoo. I wasn't too sure if I'd like it since I'm not much of a dry shampoo user, but this product is definitely a keeper.

It does exactly what it says, which includes giving your hair texture, absorbing out the oil in your hair, and volumizing your roots. It doesn't matter if I'm curling or just blow drying my hair, I spray the Triple Sec 3-in-1 a few times throughout my hair and it takes my hair to the next level!

Washing my hair everyday is usually not an option since it can leave my thick, curly hair feeling very dry and flaky, so this is when dry shampoo comes in. Also, on days that I don't have time to wash my hair, this product is a LIFE SAVER. I spray it at my roots and blow dry it quickly and it literally looks like freshly washed hair or even better. When my hair starts to flatten down as the day progresses, I just scrunch up my roots with my fingertips and it's back at it!

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the best part, the smell of it. It smells amazing! It has a vanilla scent that just smells like pure perfection. The only down side is that (like most other dry shampoos) your hair starts to feel pretty dry if you use it multiple days in a row, but let's be honest it's probably time to wash your hair at that point! 

If you're not ready to commit to the full size bottle there's a travel size one for half the size!

Urban Decay Concealer!

I've been wanting to try out Urban Decay's Naked Skin concealer for a while now and I finally gave 

in and bought it! So where do I start off...

Consistency: The consistency is the perfect medium of thick and thin. It's not too thick or thin. It doesn't feel to heavy or too watery on the skin like other concealers.

Blendability: With just a few dabs my Beauty Blender, the concealer blends out evenly whether it's under my eyes, on my forehead, blemishes etc.

Coverage: This definitely gets the job done for me. It's really pigmented so I find that a little goes a long way. It provides really good coverage and evens out the hollow space under my eyes.

Creasing: This concealer leaves me with a flawless finish under my eyes! It creases just a little bit right under my lash line (which is inevitable and like every other concealer I've tried), but looks seamless everywhere else applied.

After I blend out the concealer with my Beauty Blender I immediately set it with a powder, and it looks A M A Z I N G.

I would recommend this concealer to anyone who needs a good concealer for everyday wear. It can also double up for nighttime wear due to the amount of coverage it provides. If you would like to try out the concealer for yourself, check out the link below!
