Best Neutral Lipsticks and Tinted Lip Balms

Hello poppet!
     School has started and that means, for me at least, that I enter into neutral lip season. Ya'll know what I'm talking about, that perfect brownish pink that makes your skin look gorgeous, or that complementary pink that makes your lips look plumped up. So I'm going to show you my picks for the 2013 neutral season. Lipsticks, Lip Glosses, Stains, and Tinted Lip Balms.

LIPSTICK:
1. L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Balm in Rose Elixir
      This product is more like a lip balm because of its sheer coverage and it moisturizing awesomeness. When you swatch it onto your skin it look super pale and not really noticeable, but on your lips it adds a beautiful rose color. It takes your lip color and gives you your own unique rose color.

2. Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Petal
     I love this lipstick so much. Its a neutral pink with gold shimmer, which gives the skin a nice glow. The thing I love about it is that even though it does have this gold shimmer, it doesn't feel grainy in the slightest bit. Its an iridescent gold shimmer.

3. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
     This color is great because its perfect for the end of summer. It's a perfect peach color, like the color of a peach pit. It also has gold shimmer which is great for the end of summer glow look. The one downside is that it has a slight grainy feel.

4. NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colors in Blush
     This is an interesting pink shade in itself. Its a cooler neutral which works great for the colder seasons. It has zero shimmer, and a creamy finish. Its nice, thick and moisturizing when you apply it, just make sure that you exfoliate before hand since it highlight the chapped lines.

LIPGLOSS:

1. L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Gloss in Nude Touch
    Some people don't like sticky lip glosses and I can see the reason why. Even though this is a stickier feeling gloss, its not too thick. The texture is just right for hydrating and staying put all day. The color is a nice pink brown with silver micro shimmers.

2.NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Cosmo
     This is my favorite neutral lip gloss.  When I first purchased this product I was very concerned that it would be grainy, but its nice and smooth. The gold shimmer with the pink/brown color makes it perfect for the end of summer beginning of autumn.

LIP BALM:

1. Covergirl  Lip Slick Smoochies in #smooch
     I love this color. It's a gorgeous pink/brown with silver micro shimmer. The only downside is that its really shimmery and grainy. It looks really nice on though. Once again its a cool shimmer shade in a nice warm pink. This is probably the most pigmented tinted lip balm I've ever used.

2. Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss
     This is pretty darn popular of a lip balm and It looks perfect for everyday makeup if your running to the store. It has no shimmer and a nice glossy finish. It makes my lips look so plump and full which I love. It also smells like peach green tea (almost as good as arizona smells).


     Thats it people! I really hope that you try out some of these products, and the nice thing is they're all drugstore products!! I understand how broke students are because, I am a broke student. Until next time, Highlight not Hide,
