Oh, snap, honey! As far as nude lipglosses go, theBalm’s Read My Lips Lip Gloss in Snap has it — *three snaps in a Z formation* — on point.
I find that many lipglosses, particularly nude lipglosses, aren’t pigmented enough to completely cover my naturally pigmented lips, and so my natural lip color peeks through.
And then with opaque nude lipglosses, so many of them look chalky or patchy or just plain weird.
Snap by theBalm ($15) suffers from none of that nonsense/crazy-business. It’s incredibly smooth and completely full coverage. A subtle injection of rich, rosy brownish pink gives it just enough color to lift up my lips…so I don’t look like some unfortunate extra on CSI who got picked off early in the first few minutes of the show.
PRICE: $15
AVAILABILITY: Available now at theBalm counters and online

Hahaha, There was almost a Z before that SNAP in your last pic, I’m sure! Gorgeous nude gloss.

HAHA! It does look good on you. All nude lippies make me look like the CSI extra, sadly. 🙂
Oh, and hey! Happy Hump Day!
