Christmas Challenge | Day 13: MAC Lustre Lipstick in Fresh Brew

I know I’m running behind by about 5 days with this post but here is my lipstick shade for Sunday and it is another nude . . . I seem to stock a lot of nude lipstick don’t I??

MAC Lustre Lipstick in Freshbrew is a dark-skinned nude favourite. I’m not really exaggerating when I say that every girl and her best friend seems to own this shade, it is just that popular and a bit of a MAC Cult shade. Freshbrew is one of the few shades that my sister and I bought own as well as being the first nude lipstick I ever bought.

When I first bought this shade I really had NO CLUE how to wear a nude lipstick, and always looked a bit ‘off’ so it didn’t get as much love from me as it deserved, but 3 years on and a bit of skill and I’m a nude lipstick-aholic

My stick of MAC Freshbrew looks really well ‘loved’ and honestly is so close to being part of my Back 2 MAC pile but hopefully you can see that this is a shade that I do actually wear (and how I demolish my lippies once I take it’s initial blog pic)

Christmas Challenge | Day 9: Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Desert Bloom 633

Golly!!

I think this challenge has already started taking it's toll on my lips . . .or it might just be the cold weather outside . .anyway my lips are feeling VERY dry at the moment. It was bound to happen due to the freezing cold wind constantly pelting my face in the mornings so I am more in the maket for a nice mositurising lipstick today after the mattene lipstick of yesterday.

I think Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick in Desert Bloom 633 might just be the first drugstore lipstick I've reviewed in this Challenge and of course it is a nude, I really do love my nude lipstick.

Desert  Bloom 633 is one of my favourite nude lipstick shades and I do have more expensive lipsticks in exactly this or very similar to this shade but I feel that it falls into the 'cheapy but a goody' category because it has a decent wear time and it's creme formula is very hydrating and moisturising, and feels a bit like a balm on my lips.

I got this shade in as secret santa blogger swap last year but only started using it this summer, but this is the shade that I tend to have to dig out of my bag because I always seem to have it. I'm a bit worried about it finishing because I think this shade is actually discontinued and I really cant face the hassle of having to replace it.

Does anyone know an online site or link where I could pick up another stick of this? It's just a great little product to carry around and as sad as it seems,I don't be the girl digging out the last bit of her lipstick with a toothpick so someone HELP!!!!
