A few weeks ago I decided I
Love the quirky, true to form Soap & Glory packaging ... with a nice shiny chunky tube ...!
Some good things going on in there ...
Cute S&G hallmark stamp in the bullet ...
Swatched ...
Described as a 'satin finish' it goes on smoothly without the need for lip balm underneath and does feel quite moisturising. I sometimes struggle with 'the nudes' but, colour wise, this has turned out to be one of the most wearable lippies for 'everyday' that I own as it's not too light, dark, pink or brown - my perfect nude? As far as longevity is concerned, if I apply, blot and reapply etc then it lasts a good couple of hours, as long as I don't eat anything - which practically never happens! Will have to see how long it lasts with a lip primer - any recs for a decent one? It does just fade away evenly but because this colour seems so close to my natural lip colour maybe the only thing to do is to buy another stronger/brighter shade (they all look lovely to be honest!) just to check up on the pigmentation? ;)
Don't even ask about that facial expression. Smiling didn't work that day and I can't pout to save my life so I'm afraid it's the 'spaced-out' look or nowt! Seem to have a plethora of open pores showing up too but hey-ho it was warm!
Anyway - back to the lippie - I am liking my Naked Beige for a natural look and have been wearing it constantly for the last few weeks. It's not a 'lip popper' but 'your lips but better' and is definitely one that I can just stick on quickly whilst running out the door (and since I'm usually late for everything this is a regular occurrence)!
Soap & Glory products are on 3 for 2 offer at Boots at the moment so may be a good time for me to try out another couple of colours? Have you tried out the Super-Colour FabuLipstick - which one did you go for?

No but I am on the lookout for a new lipstick. My perfect nude is Tenderheart by Clinique. Mine is so old, it should be binned and I should buy another - if they are still making it that is.
ReplyDeleteBTW, nude lipsticks - I've just realised - is there any point? I'm not being awkward or anything, it was just a thought. Or would lip balm do? Sometimes, they don't make that much of a difference to me. It's that whole looking like you haven't tried but you spent 3 hours doing your make up thing isn't it?
Sue - you awkward one you! ;) I think if you get the correct nude for your skintone then it does make a difference and just adds that bit of finish that a lip balm doesn't - does that make sense? They are still making Tenderheart and it looks lovely - go and get another! :)
Deletethat is so true @Sue. All the nudes that I purchase are too brown or taupy toned, and totally dull my skin. what I consider a good nude is a coral which looks great on me. I might try this shade or the super beige and see if they work for me.
DeleteSuch a pretty colour! Love the stamp in the product. Have never tried any S&G makeup before!

Thanks Charlotte - I must invest in some more lip products - some lovely colours! xx
DeleteOoh this is a nice, natural nude! But definitely seems one to bring a bit of colour to your face :-) xx
ReplyDeleteI do like it Sasha - an understated colour (should have put that in the post!) xx
DeleteSuch a pretty nude Jenny. I was in Boots today perusing the Soap and Glory stand (I have never tried anything from their makeup range!) but wasn't sure what to try so came away empty handed. Wish I'd read your post before I went! x
