- Tom Ford Ultra Shine Lip Gloss (Naked) - I'm never one to really lean towards lip glosses, but I've never seen such a beautiful nude lip gloss. It looks quite pigmented with peachy, pinky tones to it which would look gorgeous for not only occasions like Weddings or Proms, but for everyday use. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever bring myself to spend £33 on a lip gloss.
- Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte (113) - This lipstick is one that I've never seen pulled off by darker skin tones. In fact, this is one that is fairly difficult to pull off even with pale skin. However, if you can pull it off it looks gorgeous. This picture doesn't do the shade justice compared to the colour of it in real life. It almost looks like the effect of putting concealer on your lips, but looks healthier, more natural and doesn't dry your lips out. At £5.49, it's worth giving it a try.
- Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer (Nude Eclipse) - Sometimes lipsticks can be a bit drying and can fade on the lips, but the formulation of this is so moisturising and also stains pretty well. When I swatched this in store, this stuff wouldn't come off of my hand for two days (baring in mind I, like I'm sure everyone else does, wash my hands regularly). I know lips go through a lot more that'd cause the lacquer to fade like eating, drinking, speaking, e.c.t. but if it can last two days on my hand, it can last a good few hours on the lips I'm sure. The colour is more of a beige nude than a very pale pink like the other two, yet just as pretty. It's £6.49.
- Nars Pure Matte Lipstick (Madere) - I can't comment on moisturisation of the product or staying power, but I can comment on the colour. It very much reminds me of a Kate 113 lipstick and Mac Creme d' Nude lipstick combination. In this picture it seems orangey, but swatches and demos seem to show it more pinky. I can see myself wearing this, and as a pale gal myself I reckon it'd suit any fair skinned lady (or gentleman if you wear makeup, you go gentleman). In case you didn't already deduct this from the name, it's matte. Captain Genius over here. At £19.50, I feel like this is something I'd buy for a special occasion to treat myself with (like Prom, or my Birthday). Still, even then it's a little pricey for my liking.
- Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick Spring Collection (26) - This being the one product I actually own out of these 6, I can tell you a lot about this little gem. I'd just like to point out that this was not only my first lipstick, but was and still remains my favourite lipstick. I've gone through several of these babies and cannot be without it. It's an orange type of nude which I think works beautifully on pale skin and really brings out the eyes. It's creamy, thick, long lasting and gorgeous. I have nothing bad to say about this lipstick and I get complimented on my lips and eyes when wearing it. It is priced at £5.49, which is an absolute steal. Love love love it.
- Mac Cremesheen Lipstick (Creme d'Nude) - Who hasn't heard of this lipstick? It's considered to be a 'pale muted peach beige' which sounds right up my street. I've seen this worn by not only fair skinned girls but tan skinned girls also and it just looks so nice on. It's £15.50, which is still pricey but again, I'd probably buy this as a one off treat. If you have the money then by all means :) I don't think I've ever watched a 'Top 10 Favourite Mac Lipsticks' video that didn't involve this one. It's just a lovely nude that's wearable for pretty much all skin tones, but I had to include it due to how lovely it looks against pale skin.
