Cairo
The color Cairo is a very light colored nude lipstick, I had to apply 2 coats of it for it to show up on my lips and it still looked very translucent up close but it is the perfect barely there nude color.

Abu Dhabi
The Abu Dhabi lipstick is a darker nude color that looks kind of brownish pink, its pretty pigmented, I used one application and it looked pretty dark on my lips.

Before I put the lipsticks on I made a honey and brown sugar scrub for my lips to prep them before applying the lipstick. The lipstick itself smelled really good like vanilla and went on as a cream before it dried. It did start to feel a little sticky as it was drying but it went away after it completely dried. I'm really glad I bought these lipsticks, they weren't super expensive at all and the quality of them is really good.
