I've got to say, as much as I love my brighter lipsticks, I'll always be a sucker for nude lips. Teamed with a bold eye look, or to go for a more natural effect, I just adore the understated look that a nude lip provides... Alas, though, like so many others out there, I've struggled to find a nude lipstick that just feels right. Either they're too pink-toned, or too shimmery, or to sheer, or too dark, or too light, or just not quite nude for me. It's been quite a depressing journey, truth be told, and I'd all but given up.

Lately, though, I've been watching a lot more YouTube videos, and I came across Rimmel's Nude Delight quite a lot, and decided to invest, so while we were in Chester on Sunday, I popped into Boots and went to pick it up. I swatched the tester on my hand and was mildly impressed by it. Then, on the row below it, the Kate Matte Lipstick 113 caught my eye. The shade sticker on the bottom looked very similar to Nude Delight, and it was £1 cheaper, so I swatched that on my hand too. The difference was minor, but 113 just looked... right. I can't explain it. If anyone else has managed to track down their perfect nude lipstick shade then you'll know exactly what I mean - when you see it, you just know. In my basket it went, and I'm completely in love with it!
