Inexpensive MLBB (My Lips But Better) Neutral Lip Products!

Hey everyone :) It's no secret that I'm a big Emilynoel83 fan, she recently made a video featuring MLBB lip colors, which I am all about! Although I love wearing bright colors, especially right now in the summer time, I also love those neutral colors I don't need to think twice about whether they'll clash with my eye look. Some of these also remind me of the Kylie Jenner lip that EVERYONE seems to want to mimic, so that's a plus ;) We all have a different pigmentation to our lips, but I think you will find one or two colors that will suit you :)
Here are the swatches:

Hearts L to R: NYX Lip Liner Pencil in Nude Pink, NYX Lip Liner Pencil in Ever, NYX Retractable Waterproof Lip Liner in Nude Pink (yes, same name),  Jordana Lip Liner in Tawny, and below Tawny is the Jordana Lip Liner in Rock n' Rose.
Top to Bottom swatches:
Revlon Just Bitten Balm stain in Honey
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Honey Love
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Pink Truffle (a piece broke that's why the swatch is ugly lol)
Maybelline Color Whisper in Rose of Attraction
MUFE Rough Artist Natural in N9 (Sephora birthday gift)
IGNORE THIS ONE, SWATCHED THE WRONG COLOR
Dr.Pepper Lip Smacker
NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipgloss in Mirrored Mauve
NYX Buttergloss in Creme Brulee

More pics:


This is the color I meant to swatch instead of the pink color I said to ignore above, it's ELF's essential lipstick in Charming.


Those are all my MLBB shades, hope you all enjoyed the swatches and found a few shades you'll add to your collection, all of them are pretty affordable, so don't be afraid to try them out :)

E.L.F Cosmetics Haul & Swatches!


Last week E.L.F was running a 50% off promo for their 10 year anniversary, they run this 50% off promo a couple times a year so I suggest waiting for these :) I REALLY wanted to try their smudge pots since it seems like everyone on Youtube loves them, so I got a couple! Also a few other things I've been wanting to try. Here's what I got, as you can see I had already opened a couple things ;)
Swatches of the Smudge Pots:
Ain't that sweet
Gotta glow
Back to basics
Crusin' chic
Brownie points
Poppin' party
Ocean Bound
Swatches of the Lip Balm Tints in Berry and Nude



Swatch of the St.Lucia Contouring Blush & Bronzing cream

Swatches of the two Matte Lip colors in Tea Rose (top) and Natural (bottom)


My first impressions on these just by swatching them and trying a few were that the smudge pots are BUDGE PROOF, I was scrubbing my arm to remove them and finally got them off with my Neutrogena eye makeup remover. I had ordered the lip balm tints before but they forgot them, so I was excited to finally get to try them and they feel jelly like, it's a weird texture but it lasted quite a while on me surprisingly, Berry is gorgeous! I had also been wanting to try their matte lip colors for a while because I had also heard a lot of buzz around the one in Natural, so I was disappointed that neither of those colors look flattering on me, but they are rather smooth. That's everything I've tried today (I just got them today lol) and I'm pretty satisfied, especially considering I spent just under $30 for all these goodies :)
