Kanebo KATE Lipsticks in BE-1 and BE-4

Hey guys!

Happy Sunday to ya!

Nude lipsticks have been a must in my lipstick collection because I just LOOOOVE doing smokey eyes or just really colorful eyeshadows. And one thing I learned with mixing colors is that you don't want a very bold eye makeup be mixed with a very bright lipstick... it would lead to disaster... unless that's the look you were going for. :P

Here are two of my favorite nude lipsticks that I bought months ago...

Kanebo KATE Lipsticks

I bought them for Php 200 and 150 during the holiday office sale of Kanebo Philippines.

The shades are BE-1, a peachy nude shade, and BE-4, a warm nude shade.

The lipsticks are housed in these very simple tubes:

Nothing really special... but who am I to complain? I bought it so cheap! Haha! But kidding aside, a lot of Japanese cosmetics have very simple packaging. :)

Here are closeup shots of the lipsticks:

BE-4

I can use BE-1 anytime but BE-4 is usually used for creative makeup since it's too much like my skin tone... I can easily mistake it as a concealer! Haha!

Both lippies are very creamy and can build up on the lines of the lips so I suggest that when you use this, you should have well-moisturized lips and exfoliate them when necessary.

I'm so happy I was able to get this at very affordable prices.

To think these two were the last things I looked at when I was browsing during the sale... I almost didn't notice them since they were the last two lipsticks from the KATE rack! I like to think of it as FATE! Haha! :P

Cheers,
