Of Toys and Co: Suqqu Extra Glow Lipstick Part VIII

Here's the last post for Suqqu Extra Glow Lipstick colors 01 胡桃紅 (Kurumibeni) Noble Beige and 11 華卯木 (Hanautsugi) Silky Beige, because, 1--Suqqu has discontinued these lippies as of February of this year (although many online stores still have stock), and, 2--I have all the other colors ^.^

All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

Here's what I don't get: why are nude/beige colored lippies so popular in Japan? Every line has at least 1-2 beiges, and some lines are dominated with beiges, some in disguise of reds (RD-) or oranges (OR-). Selfridges UK constantly sells out of these two colors online so I grabbed them in February when I saw them back in stock. I don't want to pay marked up prices later :P

- 01 胡桃紅 (Kurumibeni) Noble Beige: a peachy nude that's not as kind to my skin tone as #11 below. It's wearable, sure, but it also brings out all the yellow on my face.

- 11 華卯木 (Hanautsugi) Silky Beige: a pinky beige that, to my surprise, is actually really nice on me. My perfect nude shade and I'm so happy I have it! Nudes usually don't work for me because of the white base but this one has that rare translucency. Likey!
