LOTD: Nude Peach(?)...

Having been so fascinated by colour from an early age, my interpretation of most hues is pretty set. So I'm puzzled as to why I had so much difficulty putting a name to this LOTD shade. I mean it's not exactly peach or beige, nor is it apricot or even a coppery salmon. I found a color chart on the web, and the closest I could find to it was a hue called "Burning Sand", but somehow that didn't sound like something I'd want to put on my lips lol! Anyways it's a pretty colour (whatever it is)...

As a base I used Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip liner in Wild Clover...


Over that went one of my faves - Coral Colors Magnetic. I bought this shimmery frosty little number from a stand in a local chemist, and love how creamy and moisturising it is. I have a few from this brand and they are all beaut - and for around $8, they're excellent value...


And over the top went an oldie but a goodie - L'Oreal Studio Secrets Gloss Shine Lip Lacquer. I was bummed when L'Oreal discontinued the range, but thankfully this gloss tube is still viable, and I love the subtle gold shimmer...



So ladies I need some help here - what shade would YOU call this?

Take care of you,

  3. I'm not very good at describing colours but wow this gorgeous lip combo is just a mix of all the wonderful colours in our world, colours that all double up as food ;)

    So you could just name it "Salmon with Golden Peaches and Apricots", absolutely delectable. What a tasting plate, great selection Kats! xo

    1. Oh I like that idea Gemma - there's definitely something "matured" about it, maybe peaches marinated in marsala? Lol sweetie thanks for your input ♥
