My collection: Nude lipsticks and lip glosses

Hiiii :)
Here's my collection of nudes*! I was cleaning out my makeup collection and I suddenly realised I have a loooot of nudes, even though I rarely wear them? I probably wear them often and just not notice it.
*I didn't include lip products that tend to be pale mauves or pale pinks unless they look really natural. Some of these are for different undertones and skin tones than me, so just keep that in mind!

So here's the list of products, in order of swatches from left to right!

The mattes (might not be dry in the picture):

• MeNow Generation II Long Lasting Lip Gloss in 30 and 18;
• NYC Smooch Proof Lip Stain 16H in 492 Never Ending Nude;
• Flower Beauty Lip Suede Velvet Lip Chubby in Mauve Over.

The straight up lip glosses:

• Nyx Butter Gloss in Tiramisu;
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in 260 Rosy Future;
• Nyx Mega Shine Lip Gloss in 113 French Kiss.

The lip balm-y/lip butter types:

• Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien;
• Annabelle Lipsies Lip Balm in Hot Chocolate;
• Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm in 145 Ingenue;
• Nyc City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color in 011 Brooklyn Brown Stone.

Lastly, the ones in lipstick bullets:

• Flower Beauty Luxury Lip Color/ High Shine Lip Color in Apricot Blossom;
• L'Oreal Paris Collection Privee By Eva in 016 Eva's Nude;
• Sonia Kashuk Shine Luxe Sheer Lip Colour in 22 Sheer Mauve;
• Maybelline Color Sentiational the Buffs in 950 Untainted Spice and 945 Stormy Sahara;
• Face It Creamy Matte BE701 (not really matte, more like a cream finish).

Hope you guys liked it! :)

Makeup rant #1

Hiii :)

I needed to share my frustration with bad packaging with other makeup obsessed people! I purchased a lipstick from Flower Cosmetics, the line from Drew Barrymore, a while back. I would not recommend it at all, just because of the packaging! I hate to say it, because honestly, I have loved everything else that I own from Flower. I'm talking about the Lip Service Lip Butter only, I have tried the Kiss Me Twice Lip and Cheek Chubby, the Lip Suede Velvet Lip Chubby and the Kiss Stick High Shine Lip Color and I have no complaints. 

Look at it! It's so pretty! Of course, I wanted to try one. (Excuse the bad quality of the picture, I just got a new camera and I'm still figuring out how it works.)

So my problem is not the aesthetics of it, but the practicality. THE CAP DOES NOT STAY ON! I put it on and I had to do something out of my home. Within five minutes of being in my purse, the cap was off. 

What bothers me the most is that since it's a lip butter, it's not long wearing. I'll HAVE to reapply at some point. It needs to stay in my purse the time that I am out of my house. I didn't buy this product to sit in my collection and only wear it when I'm home.

The product itself is nice, really pigmented and creamy, with loads of colour options. It's just not practical for me. If you have one, does it do the same thing? Is it just mine or the first version of the packaging?

Anyways, that was my rant. Honestly, I should've looked at the reviews first, because someone else has the same issue and I wouldn't have wasted my money.

On a more positive note, I really want to start posting on a more regular basis, which will be easier when I start my last year of university (yay!) next week. Sorry for disappearing for months and months.

Love you all!
