It’s National Lipstick Day! For some of us, that’s everyday. Especially if your go to lipstick is a nude! For me I like to always have something moisturizing on my lips which is why I’v been loving the Je ne sais quai Color Awakening Hydrating Lip Treatment by IT Cosmetics. But lets get back to nude lipsticks shall we? Now, I know I’m late to the party on this brand, but I finally tried Mented Cosmetics lipsticks. I recently purchase the mented faves, now sold as the Fall Semi-Matte Collection and I’m pretty sure I have found my perfect nudes!
This trio includes the shades Nude La La, a brownish pink; Dope Taupe, the perfect brown with a cool blush undertone. I honestly wouldn’t have thought this color to be taupe, but I guess the color is somewhat subjective. For me, taupe is more of a plummy, grayish brown or brownish gray. Either way, I love the color. Fun fact, one summer my son suggested I needed a taupe jar to deposit money into every time I described something with the word taupe! LOL! Lastly, and my favorite of the bunch, is the shade mented #5, which is the perfect blend of brown, purple and pink! Ironically, mented #5 is actually the shade I would have described as taupe. Go figure!
Mented Cosmetics is the brain child of two brown skin beauties who, over a glass of wine, turned a discussion on finding the perfect brown girl nude into a brand that puts brown skin tones first. Talk about your #browngirlmagic! These lipsticks are not only moisturizing but are vegan, cruelty free, paraben-free and non-toxic. I’m looking forward to trying their foundation stick and new bronzers.
Let me know if you’ve tried mented cosmetics and if you’ve found your perfect nude. As always thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll chat with you next time!
