    FOUND: This chemical-free lipstick is the perfect brown nude shade

    Honestly, I’m not a huge lipstick wearer. My lips seems to always be dry, no matter how much lip balm I apply, which makes lipstick feel uncomfortable. I usually go for a tinted balm or gloss instead. So when I was asked to test the VonBlü Cosmetics lipstick in the shade Lara, I was happy to try it out but wasn’t expecting it to become a regular in my routine. Boy, was I wrong.

    This lipstick does not feel like a regular lipstick. Immediately after applying it I noticed that it felt more like a creamy balm. Which is impressive for a lipstick with decent coverage and a matte finish. I immediately checked the ingredients and found that it was formulated with Vitamin E for hydration. Good one VonBlü Cosmetics!

    I looked into the brand further and discovered that not only is VonBlü Cosmetics an Australian brand, but their products are made from natural oils and waxes and are free from chemicals and synthetics. Natural brands always score extra points from me, but when their products are THIS good, I’m impressed. The packaging of their lipsticks is just as carefully formulated. Each lipstick comes in a unique pop tube that not only looks chic, but clicks shut to avoid accidental openings in your handbag. Genius.

    Now, onto the colour. When I do wear lipstick, I usually opt for a nude. Some may say that’s boring, but I think that nothing looks more polished than a perfect nude lipstick. I tend to go for pinky nudes, as they suit my complexion best. Lara is a brown nude shade, which is something I’ve always wanted to pull off (because hello, Kardashians) but have never been able to find one that works for my skin tone. Amazingly, when I looked in the mirror after applying Lara, I really liked what I saw: A brown nude lipstick that actually suited me!

    This looks a lovely product. I like more natural shade lipsticks like those.

    Hayley644 2 Jun 2018 9:15 PM

    I don't think nude lipstick suits me.

    this natural lipstick sounds good

    Sally10 29 May 2018 10:57 PM

    I usually wear pinky mauvy plum shades.....most nude shades make my teeth look yellow! :(

    Jessica712 29 May 2018 4:52 PM

    That's such a pretty shade.

    Sweety7 25 May 2018 1:33 PM

    I love brown and plum shades. I haven't found the perfect nude yet.

    IndieAna 21 May 2018 3:01 PM

    I don't mind the formula of these lipsticks

    Linda_Vesinger 21 May 2018 3:39 AM

    First time I've heard of this brand too. Really like the colour, very wearable

    blackkittykat 20 May 2018 3:30 PM

    I haven't heard of this lipstick before, I like the colour but brown based nudes look awful on me. I need pink or berry based shades.

    Beautybabe140194 19 May 2018 9:26 AM

    I have not tried this brand but love the look of the above colour. Thanks for sharing.

    jillian206 19 May 2018 8:35 AM

    i don't do well with a matte lipstick. Too drying.

    Ellyloves 19 May 2018 8:19 AM

    This look really good on you Sophie!!

    I am really open to trying this new lipstick now.

    Tigerlily 18 May 2018 11:07 PM

    I received the colour Militar in my BH10 goody bag and it was the first time I had heard of it. Suffice to say I loooove it and it is the perfect nude for me!

    Isabelbolton 18 May 2018 9:41 PM

    That shade looks stunning on the lip

    Petal 18 May 2018 8:59 PM

    The swatch on the wrist looks like a cool-toned lavender, but the lipstick on its left looks like a very pale apricot. Is this the VonBlü lipstick that is on Sophie's lips?
