Swatch of Kinda Sexy

As this is a matte shade and is lighter than my natural lip colour, it CAN tend to look and feel a little drying on the lips so I highly recommend wearing a lip balm under this shade! This is one of my ultimate favourites alongside Velvet Teddy (as you will see below).

Velvet Teddy
I completely understand why this is such a cult favourite. Velvet Teddy is the perfect nude and I ALWAYS reach for it because it can never go wrong. It is more on the browny side than pink as you'll be able to see from the swatches, but it honestly looks different on every single person I've seen try it.

Velvet Teddy - As you can see it's been very loved hahaha

Even though it's a matte finish, it is not drying in the slightest. If you're someone who's never really tried any nudes and is confused about what to get, I highly recommend snatching this beauty up!

Spirit - Satin finish
This is a typical 90's nude colour. It's a medium dark brown (NOTE: it IS darker than Velvet Teddy) so it is definitely not too daunting a shade for those who want to try out a darker nude lipstick!

It's a satin finish so it's very very creamy and doesn't feel dry on the lips at all! Nevertheless, I have found that satin finishes do not have an extensive lasting power and come off very easily if you're eating food (which I always am - woops) so be careful!

Mehr - Matte finish
Mehr is a beautiful pinky/purple matte lipstick that somewhat resembles Kylie Jenner's lip colour in this photo. I never used to stray away from my everyday nudes but I've been reaching for this when I go to more special occasions or dinners.
