I loved this so much, I had to write about it.
Of course, I did the best thing for my followers and tested it for a while first, but I have to say it, this is THE BEST nude lipstick I have ever found for my pale, almost ghost white skin!!

| Well used already! |
The colour of this is amazing. I was a little unsure about it when I first received it, as it looked a little brown and possibly too warm for my skin tone
BUT I thought I would test it out anyway, I am all for giving things a chance.
To my amazement, it did not go on exactly how I expected...which is a good thing!!
I will break down my thoughts for you:
Packaging:
Having bought many products from the Makeup Revolution range, the quality of the packaging is great considering the low price you pay for the products... Except for the lipsticks.
I own many of the lipsticks, and granted the ones I own were £1.00(BARGAIN!!) each, I found that the lids would fall off very easily, meaning they would get squished if in my bag, and the plastic felt a little thing and cheap.
BUT, this is absolutely not what you get with the new range.
The new Iconic Pro lipsticks are a little more pricey than the normal range, but still so inexpensive!
It is shaped like a bullet, more like the MAC lipsticks, and the lids... well they definitely don't come off, not even in my bag. They feel so secure now!
Texture:
Again, for the cost, you wouldn't expect much from this lipstick, but I have to admit, it's probably better than a lot of brands I have used.
It is so creamy, and glides on like a dream! It is a very matte lipstick.
I did need one or two reapplications through the day, but that is nothing really, not to me anyway.
Colour:
As I said earlier, the colour is definitely not what you see in the bullet.
It looks a very warm brown in the bullet, but when tested on the back of the hand, it has more a pinky hue. This is what makes it so perfect for my pale complexion.
As I have a cool undertone, pinknudes are best for me.
This is possibly the lightest nude I have ever dared to wear, and it doesn't make me look completely washed out.
The colour is also so opaque. You literally need one swipe of this lipstick to get the colour payoff.
So this is me wearing the lipstick. It's such a great, everyday nude that is destined to stay in my makeup bag for a long time!
