Maybelline Dare To Go Nude Spring 2014 | Limited Edition Lipsticks + Color Elixirs

Maybelline released their Spring 2014 Dare To Go Nude Collection with several gorgeous neutral products! Their Colorsensational Lipsticks are always some of my favorites.  This collection had 4 Limited Edition shades and I picked up 2 that stuck out to me.  The 2 I picked up are Ravishing Rose- which is a pale milky coral pink color. This is very light on the lips and applies very evenly with a creme finish.  Nude Embrace- is a mauve taupe nude color that is also a creme finish and applies very evenly to the lips.  

I love both of these colors and think they are a great addition to any collection, especially if you are a nude lover!

 In the Dare To Go Nude Collection they released 6 Limited Edition Color Elixirs.  Maybellines Color Elixirs are a gloss that feels like a balm and has the pigmentation of a lipstick.  I only picked up 1 of the 6 colors and it was a milky peachy nude color called Sandy Sensation.  

 Sandy Sensation- is a beautiful nude that is the perfect topper to any of the lipsticks shown above.  It's a milky pale peach and it looks beautiful on it's own or paired over your favorite lipstick.  The color elixirs are extremely comfortable to wear and apply nicely with a flat doe foot applicator.  

Overall I am so glad I picked this color up because it's the perfect nude lipgloss to top any of my favorite lipsticks!

Thanks for reading!

Maybelline Dare To Go Nude Spring 2014 | Color Tattoos

Maybelline released a New Spring 2014 Collection called: Dare To Go Nude

In that collection they released 6 New Limited Edition Color Tattoos and I picked up 3 of them to add to my collection.  

If you aren't familiar with Maybelline's Color Tattoos they are cream eyeshadow products that are VERY waterproof.  Whenever I swatch these on my hands, the swatches stay on even after several hand washes! So imagine a gorgeous, pigmented eye base that can be worn alone or topped with shadow, but doesn't crease and stays all day! 

 Nude Compliment, Caramel Cool, Sleek & Spice

 These colors are nice and neutral and look so gorgeous on the lids.  I love wearing Caramel Cool and topping it with L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush, makes a gorgeous Rose Gold eye look!

Nude Compliment is a cool taupe metallic shade and applies smooth with even pigmentation.  Caramel Cool is a warm orange golden metallic shade that really stands out on the lid. This shade is also smooth and pigmented and applies evenly.  Sleek & Spice is more of a warmer Bronze Metallic shade and is the darkest of the 3 shown here. This reminds me of a warmer version of Bad To The Bronze, which is a permanent shade from Maybelline.  

Other Colors were 2 more beige colors and a black color which I didn't pick up because I already have several similar colors in my collection of bases.

Overall- These are a hit & I recommend the 3 colors that I picked up.  Remember, these are Limited Edition, so if you find them, make sure you snag them because every time Maybelline releases LE Color Tattoos, they tend to be hard to find!
