Over the course of the last few months, I have heard much talk of the resurgence of the 90’s. Having been of age during that decade to remember it as if it were yesterday (yikes), I have found myself pondering whether the 1990’s occurred long enough ago to even be a worthy candidate for homage. Regardless of what I may think about the relative passage of time, the deep, rosy nudes of supermodel era (Christy! Naomi! Cindy!) seem to be making a reappearance on every magazine cover and said market saturation has inspired me to offer my own take on the 90’s nude lip, this time in the form of the coppery beige Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Rich lipstick in V309, an undeniable gem.
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of my 90’s nude lip in action as well as the Bottom Line…

This is one of the most versatile, endlessly wearable collections of face powders I have encountered in a very long time. It possesses everything one needs for a subtly contoured, flushed and illuminated face…invaluable! I am seriously contemplating a backup…it is that good. More details below!
- Giorgio Armani Eye and Brow Maestro #4…reviewed HERE
- *Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Color Quad in #303 Baby Universe…reviewed HERE
- Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara…this mascara was a drugstore whim and I am pleasantly surprised. It builds length and volume in two coats and doesn’t budge until removed (a impressive feat in light of my currently allergy ridden eyes). I love how dark and rich it makes my lashes look…definitely worth a try for under $10.
- Surratt Beauty Relevee Eye Lash Curler…truly the best of the best for a wide-opened look, in my opinion! Reviewed HERE
- Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Rich Lipstick in V309 …the quintessential 90’s nude beige. This copper neutral leans slightly warm and has a moisturizing satin finish for formidable wear time. Its rose gold-meets-beige is much darker than I normally wear but I absolutely love the effect.

I love this look. Your eyelashes look fantastic!
I want Peau Vierge too. Bring shade 1 back soon LMdB people!
Happy Thursday!
Thank you!! Truly, that Maybelline mascara has exceeded my expecations!
I have spoken directly with my LMdB contacts (as recently as last week!) and they say #1 should be making a return to counters soon…I hope it is super soon for your sake!!
xoxo and hope your week is off to a lovely start,

I miss baby tees so much!
You and me both, girl ; )

I love it when you feature a drugstore find! I actually bought the Revlon colorstay whipped foundation at your suggestion. I chose the right shade and it is nice but it's not multi-tasking so does not rival my other products. My favorite has been Chanel vitalumiere in 30 beige – I wear it year round.
Hi Amy,
Happy to oblige! I am so glad you have the Revlon Colorstay Whipped…it is still my favorite drugstore foundation by a long shot!
Hope you have a beautiful afternoon…xx,

A beautiful look on you. These colors suit you well. You should wear them often. You do seem to have an effortless style about you. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you, Anon! I plan on embracing more color in this new year…it's always an adventure : )
Thanks also for your kind words about my style…xx,

Hi BP! Your lashes look amazing. Coincidentally I bought a drugstore mascara on a whim. It was the L'Oréal butterfly w the large brush wand. I liked the formula and wand going on but unfortunately by mid day I had flakes. Yuck! I will exchange and give this a try. Absolutely loving my Zelens foundation. My skin feels great after removing also. Love the fotd. Xoxo
Hello dear Lynn!
Thank you…lots of mascara ; ) This Maybelline doesn't flake at all (which, of course, I was prepared for)…give it a go! So thrilled to hear that you are still loving the Zelens…you're right, it does make the skin feel better, even when removed!
Hope your week is off to a marvelous start…xx,
–The Beauty Professor
Love this darker nude, and it's so pretty with your other choices! It reminds me a bit of Charlotte Tilbury's Stoned Rose. And I am swooning over those gorgeous colors in Cheeky Chic! The 90s resurgence is so surreal, but this look has me tempted to forgo my bright lips for a little 90s angst. 😉 xoxo, Blondie, Esq.
Thank you!! Yes, I can see the similarities between the two lippie shades and I implore you to consider Cheeky Chic…it is such a versatile product and I use it every week!
Hope you had the loveliest of weekends…xx,
