Natasha Denona Judith, Claudia, Sava Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Judith (14NB)
Natasha Denona Judith (14NB) I Need a Nude Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, light-medium peachyb rown with moderate, warm undertones and a cream finish. It seemed to have very faint pearl throughout but not enough to make it a true frost/metallic shade.
The lipstick was lightly creamy with some slip, but it didn’t feel slippery while on. There was a denseness to the formula that made it feel a little less lightweight compared to most modern lipsticks, though I wouldn’t say it was heavy. It had nearly opaque color payoff that lasted well for four and a half hours while feeling lightly moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview
$25.00/0.14 oz. - $178.57 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to "lightweight" with a "creamy" texture and a "softly luminous finish" that feels "deeply hydrating." There was no reference to coverage, but the promotional swatches showed opaque coverage.
The range is broken up into four undertones: Beige (suits neutral, warm, red skin tones), Neutral Beige (suits all skin tones), Neutral Pink (suits all skin tones), and Pink (suits warm and yellow skin tones). The shades also range from very light to deep so that there's one that will "flatter each and every skin tone."
They are pigmented with semi-opaque to opaque coverage in a single layer, and the majority of the shades applied evenly to my lips. They have a denser, more velvety formula that had some creaminess to them without feeling traditionally wet or emollient. The formula has satin-to-cream finish that wears down to a semi-matte finish within two to three hours or can be quickly blotted down if preferred.
I noticed that most shades had a bit of product that sank into my deeper lip lines with it often not being noticeable in person, just in the close-up photos, but lighter shades were more likely to be visible in person as well as in the close-up photos. They wore between four and six hours, were lightly hydrating to non-drying, and wore away evenly. The formula has a fairly strong, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Claudia (15NB)
Natasha Denona Claudia (15NB) I Need a Nude Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark coral with strong, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my lips.
The texture was lightweight, creamy but not overly emollient and felt firmer in the tube as it went on, though it didn’t drag. There was a touch of product in my deeper lip lines that was visible in the close-up photo but I couldn’t tell in person. It stayed on nicely for five hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

Sava (21P)
Natasha Denona Sava (21P) I Need a Nude Lipstick ($25.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had good color coverage that adhered fairly evenly to my lips, but there was a bit of product that separated along some of my finer lip lines.
The consistency was lightly creamy, dense without being too firm in the tube (so it didn’t drag or tug during application), and felt more light-medium in weight. It wore well for five hours and felt slightly moisturizing while worn.

Out of the trio, I’m really liking Claudia the most. But it’s definitely one I’d need to try on and see whether it works for me.
Sava is also lovely, but I fear too pink for me.
These are all way too lite for me. I would look like a corpse in any of the shades. I always envy those who can pull these shades off but sadly, that isn’t me, LOL!
Somehow, quite a few of the new ND lipstick releases are looking fairly similar to mine eyes.
Claudia would be my pick from this trio.
