Full Review:
YSL Rouge Volupte #2- My favorite lipstick formulation, pigmented, creamy, smells great, and moisturizing.
GOSH Darling Lipstick- this is another one of my favorites I picked this up a few months ago on a trip to london (since then I have ordered 2 more to keep as back ups, i love it that much), this is very soft, reminds me of a glaze from MAC, it is THE perfect nude, any more pigmented and you would risk having concealor lips.
MAC Fleshpot- I like this color ALOT, but you have to be careful other wise you get concealor lips, this has a very slight pinky undertone. The formluation is a bit drying and you must have very moisturized lips to wear this as it will enhance the look of dryness on your lips. This was a limited edition, but you can order through MACpro. (This can give you that porn star look, which i hae to admit but I like )
MAC Myth- I like this, very similar in formulation to Fleshpot again, you have to be careful other wise you get concealor lips, this is more beige than Fleshpot.
MAC Creme D'Nude- This is my favorite MAC nude lipstick, this is similar to GOSH Darling, it is easy to work with and much more moisturizing. This is a Creamsheen formulation. It is sheerer and creamier than Fleshpot and Myth.
MAC High Tea- This is a frost, I do not wear it all that much, it is a sheer natural nude with a bit of sheen from the frost.
NARS Belle Du Jour- I love the name, obviously!!! The formulation is better than Myth and Fleshpot, a bit more moisturizing. Its a great pigmented nude, this will not give you the concealor effect. It is a bit darker, but a very wearable nude.

I will be getting my 2 new nudes from Shu Uemura tommorow, look out for the review.
What is your favorite Nude Lipstick and are there any I am missing that I should be trying?
