Top 5 Nude Lipsticks for Medium Skintones

My lipstick collection is filled with 90% nudes and the rest are the odd red or pink shade. What can I say? I love a good nude lipstick and I feel like I have to add, they're all different! They are either different formulas or different tones. I thought I would round up my top 5 today and talk you through them...I have titled this post for medium skin but I think there is something for everyone in this post.

Huda Beauty Throwback

This is the lightest nude of them all, very much more of a peachy pink. I love the formula of these HB bullet lipsticks, creamy, pigmented and wear well throughout the day. I can only wear with shade with a darker lip liner underneath otherwise it looks horrific, but many liners that I have tried including Huda Beauty ones look amazing and the lipstick pairs so well with them all.

MAC Velvet Teddy

A classic nude lipstick that I know so many people love. I found it hard to choose between this Honey Love and Mehr - they are all incredible nude lipsticks. MAC is great when it comes to finding the perfect lipstick shade as they have a variety of undertones, shades and finishes. I love Velvet Teddy paired with a lip gloss or on its own, its perfect for everyday. 

Fenty Uncuffed

Liquid lipsticks are great to wear when the formula is long lasting and pigmented, Fenty Beauty does this and more! They have the most gorgeous shades and this lightweight, super pigmented lipstick is probably my most worn day and night shade. I know that if I apply this in the morning it will still be there in the evening, no cracking or flaking. I'm getting towards the end of this now and it breaks my heart because it is so beautiful! 

Wet N Wild Mocha-licious

The cheapest of the bunch (only £3) and the darkest. I keep Mocha-licious in my car, so its there for when I forget to apply anything when at home or if I need a top up. Its great to apply really quickly and it super matte - which I love in a lipstick. It has a very cool undertone and would suit medium skin tones amazingly well.  

NYX Sandstorm

I bought this NYX liquid lipstick on a random shop when in Boots, the shade reminds me of a Kat Von D lipstick I used to own a few years back. The formula of these aren't the best, they tend to crack away during the day/ when you have food ect but it reapplies really well and looks gorgeous.

They're all pretty similar but different in their own way.... right?!

Summer Skin At Home

 With summer in full swing, its time to get my skin ready for the days out in the sunshine and evening strolls. I have been working a lot on my skin recently, its oily but dehydrated with lots of pigmentation issues and large pores. Everyday I do a simple yet effective skincare routine but, on a weekend, I like to have a full pamper and a facial. Its nothing fancy or elaborate, but a nice way to make my skin feel and look good.

The Lockdown Tag

When I first started blogging, TAG posts were my favourite to do. Its been so long since I've done one and when I saw Hannah from LuxuryBlush create her own lock-down tag, I just had to take part! Her blog is amazing and her instagram is beautiful - definitely check her out! There are 11 questions in total, and if you fancy doing it please do - its so much fun!

Nail Week: Semilac Gel Nail System Review

WELCOME TO NAIL WEEK! 

If there is one thing I am really missing since being in lock down, its got to be my regular visits to the nail salon. I loved going in every few weeks, having a chat, choosing a new nail design and just having that 1 hour out from normal life. However, its been a good thing at the same time because I have had more of a chance to do my own nails. When I was in high school, I was part of a Nail Club. In this club, I got taught everything to do with nails and those skills have stayed with me until now. 

Recently, I have been loving doing my own nails at home. This week I am showing you a gel system, gel colours and some tools that are an essential for doing your nails at home! 

Today's post is all about a nail system called Semilac. They very kindly sent over their starter kit* for me to have a play with. Spoiler alert - I'm obsessed!
