Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Classic Cream Lipstick (#130) ($27.00) is a beautiful soft pinky-rose. It has a semi-sheer look that looks very natural on lips. Even though it's not opaque, it's one of those "You don't know...

Chanel Pin-up Glossimer ($27.00) sheer, light peach champagne with just a smidgen of pink in it with pale gold and champagne micro-shimmer. Glossimers are thin in texture, smooth in shimmer, and non-sticky in feel. On my lips, the golden tones of this...

The Spring Season: Maybelline Caramel Kiss Lipstick

Maybelline Caramel Kiss Lipstick ($8.29) is a creamy browned nude -- it's kind of like a taste of caramel; a little warm, a smidgen golden, but very natural, soft, and wearable. I'm not usually big on brown-based shades, but this is a shade I can...

The Spring Season: Smashbox Charming Lipstick

Smashbox Charming Photo Finish Lipstick ($22.00) is semi-sheer, shimmery beige with a slight peach undertone. I'm not exactly sure why Sephora describes this as a "nude pink," because I didn't see any pink in it. It was...

The Spring Season: NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss

NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss ($24.00) is a sheer peachy-pink with gold shimmer. I really like this lipgloss worn over nudes and light pinks for added glossiness and shimmer, because it doesn't effect color very much (if at all!) - just adds a little more pop. One...

Benefit Lady's Choice Full-Finish Lipstick ($18.00) is an ultra creamy pinky-nude with a glossy sheen and no shimmer. It's pink enough to be almost like a very light and pale pink, but it's still more of a nude. I love...

Lancome Voile de Rose L'Absolu Rouge Lipstick ($29.00) is a creamy, medium pink with warmer undertones. I almost didn't include it as part of the Spring Season, just because it's the pink is a little more amped up than...

The Spring Season: MAC Freckletone Lipstick

MAC Freckletone Lipstick ($14.00) is a semi-sheer luster-finish peachy nude. It's definitely a nude kind of lip color, but it has a surprising amount of warmth, because of the peachy undertones. Even though it's distinctly peach,...

Chanel Ming Rouge Allure Laque ($32.00) is a soft, slightly milky neutral (maybe even a little yellow-toned) pink with subtle pink and light gold shimmer with a glossy shen. Rouge Allure Laques are kind of like liquid lipstick, but they still have a...
