I love this l/s. This is a very versatile nude shade that can work for a wide range of skin tones from very fair to deep dark. It does not look ashy and has just enough brown so that it doesn't look muddy.

It glides on smooth and is very hydrating. The staying power is decent as well. I find the smell a bit off-putting like some of Milani's now discontinued (Lotta Lip) liquid lipstick, but this is still bearable. The smell and taste wears off few seconds after application.

I got this at othe original price but I bought some more after they have been discounted. The packaging is sort of cheap looking but I appreciate the slim twist up tube for ease and eveness of application.

This is a good product, I'd definitely get some more if I still can.

I had gotten this for free from Seventeen magazine after entering a freebies contest. I had never tried a nude lipstick before, but I was pleasantly surprised. Matte lipsticks are hands down my favorite, but slightly pearlized lipsticks such as this emit a rather classy aura (hence, classy nude). This looks nice with or without a lip liner. I don't have very pigmented lips so I can't say whether or not the opacity is ideal for everyone. A very light formula as well.

I actually got this for free through a giveaway on the Milani Facebook page, but I think it's around $8 in drugstores.

The packaging is pretty sleek-looking and it feels study. I think the color is a really nice nude shade. Unfortunately, my lips are already pigmented by themselves and this product doesn't show up true to color on them :[. But it does feel very moisturizing (more so than the Revlon Lip Butter) and it gives a nice shine on the lips. It has a yummy candy smell to it that I like :]. It doesn't last very long on my lips.

Overall, I like this product, it just didn't work for my lips :[. If I hadn't gotten it for free I probably wouldn't have bought it. If you have pigmented lips like mine, I would recommend wearing this as a gloss over another lipstick or lipliner!

Overall:
I've been on the hunt for the perfect nude lipstick for quite a while...
and I will just say, this is definitely one of my favorites! It's semi-sheer, but not a complete tinted lip balm and it's very build able to a nice color. I love that it doesn't make me look dead and feels completely weightless on my lips! The smell I can handle, but may be a turn-off for sensitive people...

Price: It's pretty standard for a drugstore lipstick.

Packaging: I love that it looks so sleek :)
But the clicking sound that it makes sort of annoys, I guess I'll just have to get used to it!

Repurchase: HECK YEAH!
I'm on the run to buy more colors as you read this...

First of all, the packaging is a real dupe for Dior's Serum De Rouges and it's also one of those moisturizing, balm-like lipsticks. The color 'Classy Nude' is really pretty and is definitely a MLBB color. UNFORTUNATELY, the smell is just awful. If you're like me and you're very sensitive to scents, then you might not like this product. So, no matter how pretty the color is, I cannot bring myself to try another one of these because I just can't stand the scent. It smells way too sweet and synthetic, and it lingers far longer than I would like (it eventually disappears, but not soon enough.)

Before i start ranting, i just have to say that i'm not one to wear anything on my lips (sadly its because i'm a smoker, and everything just rubs off). But i LOVE this product. I love the color, smell, and texture of this product so much that i carry it around everywhere. Some people dislike the fact that is a more sheer product than most other lipsticks, but with this color i think it works wonders. All in all im obsessed with this product.

Great lipstick. It's a bit on the sheer side but you can get the coverage you need. Very moisturizing - my lips are so soft when I put it on. I agree with another review where you don't have to apply any lip balm/gloss to smooth out your lips before or after application. Perfect nude lips for work or smokey eyes. I love the smell and the packaging is nice. I think this is a winner. I would definitely repurchase.

Its really moisturizing, but the only thing is that its a little sheer. Buildable color though. Love it.

Really pretty MLBB for me. It doesn't deposit a lot of color on my lips but smoothes out the texture and adds a beautiful shine and sparkle. I like the sleek packaging and the price is as usual for drugstore lippies these days ($10). Nice light, non offensive smell and I don't need a mirror to apply or HAVE to top with a gloss if I don't want to. I can easily see this living in my purse. Definitely do not regret purchase and I would definitely try more colors. I don't have any negatives to say on the lipstick other than to agree with other reviews this is a more sheer color. If you curious, I say go for it. To me, it seems pretty goof-proof for many skin tones as the color is a nice peachy based neutral.

I have two of these in Classe Nude and Modern Mauve. They smell really nice and are very moisturizing making your lips soft.

I looove this lipstick!, and so does my boyfriend. This is one of the very few ones he likes me wearing :).
this is a rosy nude color, it so creammy it goes on super smooth, it has a medium coverage, and it is very sheer, (honestly, theres no need for me to apply any lip gloss after this). it also has an amazing smell (watermelon), i think this is why my BF likes it so much lol..
I've been wearing this mostly every day, im soo in love with it. but i had a job interview today, and this was the perfect lipstick to wear, it gave me a verry classy, & polished look, absolutetly <3 it! :D.. im defenetly buying again, and some of the other colors they have, Romantic Rose & Vivacious Fuchsia :)

What I like about this lipstick is how creamy and sheer it is (at least this color is!). It glides on really nicely and just leaves a nice lustre finish. If you are looking for a nude that has a lot of pigment, this will not be the one for you. This applies more like a MAC lustre lipstick. This is a sheer nude with a touch of pink undertone with very subtle gold shimmer. It took me a while to decide whether or not to swap this away - because it does settle just slightly more peachy on me than I was hoping for (but most lipsticks do this on my lips). I think in this case that it can be the gold shimmer that is partially to blame. Also, to note, I am NC20.
I know they sell these at some CVS. However, I had to buy mine at cherryculture.com (my local CVS do not carry this). The price is around $8. Swatches in the picture I attached are from: http://themakeupdrawer.blogspot.com/2010/10/october-2010-favorites.html. All credit to her!
Also, I believe that emilynoel83 on YT has a review on this.
