From the appearance, & description, I'm going to assume that these are the dupe for Urban Decay's Glide On pencil line. Although, I hope not exactly! I mean in reference to UD's color range. I haven't been exactly salivating with the direction they've went with the "nude lip" trend. Everything seems to have a warmer brown, or peachy undertone. Or the lip pencils are pink & on the bright side. I don't care what undertone you are, if you're fair (like myself) only a cool, pink toned nude shade is going to look MLBB. Ok, rant over. Crossing my fingers that NYX nailed the nude lip for us fair skinned ladies. I couldn't find nary a review ANYWHERE on the interwebs, so I was forced to buy the colors that I was deliberating over, all 5 of them. I go first, so that others may know the pros & cons before they buy (you're welcome). The colors I purchased from Ulta.com (my nearest Ulta is 90 minutes away) are: 1.Bedrose; described as soft, nude pink w/mauve undertone, 2.Dark soul; deep, wine red, 3.Nude Suede Shoes; nude w/pink undertone, 4.Sugar Glass; true nude w/yellow undertone, 5.Red Tape; deep red.
Yes, I did get a yellow toned nude in there, but the swatch online looked really enticing. Besides in my experience, Ulta's online swatches/descriptions are usually waaaaay off. Why not buy directly from NYX online & enjoy the lower free shipping cut off, while saving myself the sales tax, you may ask? Well, I also have my suspicions that this may have something to do with the lack of reviews on this product, but the NYX site warns in its basket to expect shipping delays because they're revamping their site. I also took note of the banner announcements for their flagship stores opening (in the L.A. area). So, I should be getting my order of these in the next couple days & I'll be back with some swatches & reviews!
