NUDES ON LIPS

Less on Lips is Definitely More!!!

Hey guys!! I am Srotoswini Sarkar and I Welcome you to LIPS 'N' GOSSIPS. This week Lips content won by a fringe to Gossips. So let's get started with "My Top 4 Nude Lippies"

Wearing my favourite nude shade on the lips


  • Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick ( Shade: Clay Crush)
Priced at Rs. 450, it is one of the best nude matte lipstick. It is extremely lightweight and does not set into lip lines. As the name says, it is matte as well as creamy so it won't dry out your lips much. Pictures down below will tell you how much pigmented it is. Though it has a con, that you may have to reapply it after 3-4 hours.



Wearing the shade Clay Crush

  • Nykaa Matte To Last! Liquid Lipstick- Bombae 01
This is a classic nude shade specially made for Indian Skin tones. Quite a famous nude shade which is mostly out of stock. Thank God I managed to get it as soon as they launched it. A must have for all the nude lippie lovers out there. Dries out quick, highly pigmented and stays on lips for quite a long time. It is priced at Rs.550 and you will get it exclusively on Nykaa.



  • SUGAR It's A-Pout Time! Vivid Lipstick- 06 Peachy Little Liars
This lipstick is a nude shade with a peachy undertone which retails at Rs.599. This is a combo of creamy and moisturizing with a look of a classic matte lipstick. The nude shade is perfect for daily use. The most exciting part is that this shade is also a close enough dupe of MAC-Mehr. Mind you not the exact but close enough. It is surely one of the perfect nudes for the nude lipstick lovers out there. 




  • L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Le Matte Lip Pen- 102 She's So Matte
Priced at Rs.699, this is another nude shade that will make you fall in love with it. Not only this is a proper matte lipstick for daily use, but also the best matte lipstick ever. It is smooth and glides easily on lips. Also doesn't show lip lines. Stays on nearly for 10 hours. Colour is perfect nude for wheatish skin tones as it has a slight pinkish undertone. Goes well with even not very fair complexion. Bonus, it is smudge proof too.



That's all for today. This was the most requested post. Try out these and let me know if you have any other nude shades which are perfect in the COMMENT SECTION BELOW. I will definitely try it out.

Keep Calm And Carry Lipbalm

There's no such thing as having too many lipbalms

Can you get hooked on lip balm?
Hey guys! I am Srotoswini Sarkar and welcome to another post of Lips 'N' Gossips.
Today I am here to share with you "My top 5 lip balms all under Rs. 200"

  • Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm
This lip balm comes in 3 flavours: Dark chocolate and cherry, Dark chocolate and mint and one normal one. All contains SPF 15 and retails at Rs. 130. It is also enriched with the goodness of Vitamin E. As the name suggests it contains Cocoa Butter which is a natural moisturizer that transforms dry, chapped lips into silky soft one. You can get this in Nykaa. I have the dark chocolate and cherry flavour. Quite useful during the daytime. I got to know about this lip balm from one of my favourite Youtuber Scherezade Shroff. This lip balm is also under her 10 favourite ones.


  • Miss Claire Butter Lip Balm
As the name suggests, this lipbalm is one of the best. Miss Claire never fails to astonish me with its outstanding products. It not only nourishes your lips but also adds gorgeous tint to your lips. It comes in 8 beautiful shades. Apply it overnight to get a pillow-soft pouty tinted lips as you wake up. I have the shade Panna Cotta which is a pinkish nude shade. You can get these at Rs. 150 which makes it quite affordable.


  • Nivea Fruity Shine Lipbalm
This is everyone's favourite for sure and those who haven't used it yet are missing out a lot. There are 4 shades: Watermelon, Cherry, Peach and Strawberry. It has thus claimed to beautify our lips with its shimmering pigments and soft glossy colour, which it does for sure. Retails at Rs. 175, is a must have for everyone. I have the cherry shine flavour which I have used completely and gonna buy another one soon.




  • Maybelline New York Baby Lips Color Balm
This product is a sure choice of every girl. Priced at Rs.175, it is surely quite affordable. Comes in 4 beautiful shades: Pink Lolita, Berry Crush, Cherry Kiss and Anti Oxidant Berry. These are the common baby lips that everyone has. There are different kinds out there. Maybelline Baby Lips Bright Out Loud is one of them. It also has 4 shades: Beaming Violet, Striking Orange, Pink Alert and Vivid Peach. Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop is another kind with shades : Pink Shock, Berry Bomb and Oh Orange.Then there are Candy Rush Baby Lips, Candy Wow which are yet to be used by me. These are retailed at Rs. 190
Recently Alia Loves New York Baby Lips was launched and it retails at Rs. 175
I definitely loved these and have used quite a lot and currently using few of them (in picture below). The pigment will surely get a thumbs up. But they do not stay on lips for 8 hours as they claim to and requires reapplication after 3 hours.

  • Avon Naturals Lip Balm
This comes in two shades: Cherry and Strawberry. It is priced at Rs. 199. You will surely know how to get these. Offers are on most of the times and thus I got hand of the strawberry one at Rs. 109. Definitely provides intense moisturization with SPF protection. It also has a pretty tint and smells sweet. It is as good as the Baby Lips. 


That's all for today. Lemme know your Favourite Lip Balms under the COMMENT SECTION below.
This one is especially dedicated to my cousin sister Koel, who madly loves Lip Balms.
