Nude Beach is a so so color for me. From the new 2004 Bronze collection from Loreal, I picked up this color b/c it looked to be a great pinky nude w/ minimal shimmer in the tube. I got it home and my excitement quickly faded. Nude Beach doesn't have enough pigment to provide the nude effect I was hoping for on my lips. After 3 layers I have achieved I somewhat milky nude glaze on my lips, but nothing like I was hoping for. I would rec it tho, b/c it might be just what some people are looking for, but if you have pigmented lips, you might wanna pass on this and go w/ better options.
