Nude Lips & Tips

Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Moss Lipstick, £4,99, Revlon Colourstay Longwear Nail Enamel, £7.99

It's been a while since I whacked out a good simple nude lip, despite them reminding me of school days where we would all be hoarded in the girls locker room applying Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse all over our lips to get a proper washed out colour (guilty - don't ask what we were thinking...), a recent trip to Byron required something a little low maintenance, that wouldn't end up all over my burger. Enter a nude lip...

Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Moss Lipstick, which I originally spotted Charlotte Tilbury using, is more of a sophisticated nude than the ones we used to stroll around school refusing to remove by the teacher chasing us down the corridor with a wipe. The shade 03 has an almost warm tone to it, is ridiculously creamy with a semi-matte, non-drying finish. One quick swipe and you're done.

I've been playing matchy matchy with Revlon's nude nail offerings, only one coat needed of the Long-Wear Nail Enamel in Sandy Nude and it's light glossy perfection, just how I like it. 

Alright, so it's almost Spring and perhaps time for the dull and dreary shades to be put away but I couldn't help it, love at first laquer and all that...
