M.A.C. Lipstick in Blankety, £13.50 for 3g.
If you're looking for a really neutral shade, that will work with every look and throughout the year then Blankety is a good option. It's simple and feminine, a muted pink- brown shade. It is pink enough to compliment my pale pale skin but I think it would suit the majority of skin tones (particularly olive to asian tones!)
The smell is gorgeous, definate vanilla scent-age! Sweet yet not overpowering.

The formula is really creamy, so it is easy to apply, particularly if you're on the go. It's also really moisturising and nourishing. It has become a handbag staple, for me, at the moment because you just can't go wrong; it's inoffensive, and highly usable. However, it has also become a handbag staple because reapplication is so necessary, and disappointingly, is needed quite often throughout the day. Unlike the M.A.C. matte lipsticks, that I find faultless (Russian Red I <3 U), Blankety is an 'Amplified' creme. Therefore due to it's sheen finish it comes off very easily.
On the upside, it is heavily pigmented, the colour on the stick is the colour you get on the lips, and you can choose to apply as little or as much as you like, it is buildable.
I find it looks most noticeble/effective with smoky brown eyes, as the browns brings out the dusky hues, however it also looks nice with natural greens. A feminine, realiable shade, just a shame about it's poor lasting power!
Final Portrait; I went to visit my mum and my cat a couple of weeks ago, here is me and Chrissy, and I'm wearing blankety!
