My Top Autumn/Fall Lipstick Picks
Autumn is FINALLY upon us, which means darker lipsticks are appropriate again! These are the ones that I’m going to be wearing the most this season.
Catrice Ultimate Colour – 110 Pink Me Up!
This colour is a slightly darker dupe for Macs all fired up, and is the perfect shade if you love wearing pink lipstick but want to go for a darker shade in the colder months. It’s so creamy and lasts a good amount of time on the lips too.
Avon Ultra Colour Lipstick – Red
I’ve had this lipstick for a good two years now and it’s my staple red lipstick. I personally think that red lipstick looks good all year around, but I love it particularly in the autumn as it’s not too light or too dark. This one is so moisturizing, lasts pretty much all day and makes your teeth look amazing! You can get this here
Calvin Klein Creme Lipstick – Dangerous
I love this lipstick SO much! Its one of my all time favourites and it’s actually really cheap. The colour is hard to describe, but it’s a mix between a dark red, brown and purple, I think it would look beautiful on so many skin tones and to me it’s just the ultimate autumn shade! You can get this for a bargain price of £1.99 here
Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick – 330 Sloane’s Plum
This shade my not be for everyone and it is very daring with it being a deep plum shade and the tendency to make your teeth look yellow, but I really like it. If you’re into bold lips you need to get your hands on this. It’s an intense plum colour which looks amazing paired with a natural eye look for the daytime and a dark smokey eye for a gorgeous, glam, autumn evening look. You can buy it here
What’s your favourite autumn lipstick?
June Favourites
Well here we are again, another month gone and another favourites post. We’re finally into summer and I’m off college until September meaning I have a lot of free time to write blog post. I’ve discovered a lot of new beauty and non beauty products this month that I’ve really liked so this favourites may be longer than usual.
Beauty Favourites
Red Lipstick
I’ve never really gotten on with red lipstick until this month, I just didn’t think it suited me and was a lot of hassle to keep it looking good throughout the day. Lately however I’ve been loving pairing a red lip with a subtle smokey eye and winged liner and I actually did a blog post on it here. The red lipstick I’ve been using is red by Avon, it’s really creamy, pigmented and lasts for a good 6 hours without needing to reapply.
Elf Beauty Book in Natural
I picked up this little beauty whilst at the Elf blogger fair which you can see my blog post on here. I swatched the shadows in store and thought they were amazing but I really did not expect such high quality seeing as I only paid £6 for it. The beauty book contains 6 eyeshadows, a primer and am eyeliner. The eyeshadows are the reason this product has made it into my favourites though as they really do compare to the quality of the naked palettes and can be used to make a beautiful natural smokey eye.
Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara
I’ve had a sample size of this mascara for a while now but I’ve only recently started using it and it’s safe to say I’ve been amazed by how good it is! This mascara adds so much volume and length and since using it I’ve had so many compliments on my lashes and people even asking if they were fake. I’m definitely going to pick up a full size one when this runs out.
St Moritz Fake Tan Mousse
I’m not a huge fake tanner as I just find it so much hard work and it tends to look fake and patchy on me. At the start of the month when we were getting nice weather however I decided to apply some of the St Moritz tanner as I didn’t want my legs looking like milk bottles. Not expecting much I left it on over night and showered it off the next morning. To my amazement I came out of the shower with a beautiful, natural glow to my skin and I’ve been hooked ever since! I apply it every Sunday night and wash it off the next morning, you really can’t go wrong for £3!
L’Oreal Eye Make Up Remover
I’ve never really seen the point of eye make up removers as I’ve always used cleansers that are suitable to use on your eyes, a couple of weeks ago though I picked up the loreal eye make up remover as it was on offer. The smallest drop of this on a cotton pad removes all of your eye make up in two swipes! This means that you’re not only not using as much cleanser but is also softer on your eyes as you don’t have to tug at them to remove the make up. I am sold!
Collection Lipstick In Tallulah
Yes another lipstick.. I picked this up in my local asda as it was only around £2 and wasn’t really expecting much. I should have had higher hopes though as this lipstick is the most beautiful every day pink colour, applies like a dream and is so moisturising. If you’re looking for a natural everyday lipstick you need to pick this one up!
Non Beauty Favourites
The World Cup
Never ever in a million years did I think I would be saying that I enjoy football but ever since the World Cup has started I can’t get enough! Maybe it’s the whole hype around it or just because it’s always on tv, but I am really getting into football. I’ve watched at least one game every day since it’s been on and I find myself oooing and ahhhing at the TV (My ex boyfriend would be so proud of me!)
The Fault in Our Stars
I’ve featured the fault in our stars book in my favourites before so of course I had to go see the movie the first day it was out. Without spoiling anything all I’m going to say is that I have never cried so much at a film in my life! I laughed, cried, laughed and cried again. It’s one of the most heartwarming films I’ve ever seen and I recommend you all go and see it.
Beyond Beauty Star
I’ve decided I’m going to feature my favourite Youtuber every month and this month I’ve really been loving Claudia from Beyond Beauty Star. I am obsessed with her style and I’ve been really tempted to cut my hair shorter ever since I’ve started watching her. Claudia does beauty videos on her main channel which you can see she puts so much effort in to and vlogs on her second channel. You can check out her main channel here and vlog channel here
What were your favourite products this month?
The Lipstick Tag
I’ve seen this tag floating around so seeing as I love my lipsticks and didn’t have anything else to blog about today I thought I’d give it a go.
1. How many lipsticks do you own?
Not including any lip glosses, stains, butters or liquid lipsticks I have 20 traditional lipsticks.
2. What was the first lipstick you owned?
This is a tricky question. After looking through my collection and thinking hard I think the first lipstick I bought (that I still own) is an extremely old Maybeline one in the shade clear diamonds. It’s essentially a clear lipstick with a tiny bit of sparkle.
3. What is your favourite lipstick brand?
Although I currently only have 2 I’m going to have to say Mac, they just apply beautifully and come in the widest range of colours.
4. What is your most worn lipstick?
Lately it’s been creme cup by mac but if we’re going with long term then it’s going to have to be Calvin Klein Dangerous, it’s a dark berry shade and I wore it almost every day last year.
5. What is your favourite finish?
Although I love the look of matte lipsticks they tend to cling to the dry patches on my lips and require a lot of maintenance. So I’m going to say creme sheens as they are extremely hydrating and looking beautiful on.
6. What was the last lipstick you bought?
The last lipstick I bought was Mac’s Creme Cup and I haven’t used anything else on my lips since. AMAZING!
7. How many lip products do you currently have in your bag?
This question is made for me as I constantly have a collection of different lip products at the bottom of my bag! After digging through I found 3 products, which is actually quite reasonable for me. There’s a Rimmel Apoclips in Luna, a random H&M lipgloss which is actually really pretty and Carmex which is always in my bag for emergencies.
8. What is your favourite red lip colour?
I actually only own one red lipsticks as I feel like they don’t suit me as much as other colours, the one I do own however is a Avon lipstick in the colour red. This is a stereotypical blue toned red with a creamy finish and lasts all day!
9. How do you store your lipsticks?
I store my lipsticks in acrylic storage I got from muji which sits in my dressing room, I’m yet to fill the whole container which is just an excuse for me to buy more…
10. Which lipsticks are you currently lusting after?
This answer could go on forever but I’ll just give you a list of 3 Mac lipsticks that are going to be my next purchases. First is Rebel, I’ve been wanting to try this lipstick out for ages now so it’s definitely going to be my next purchase. Pink Plaid , this is the perfect pink lipstick which I think would suit anyone! Lastly I really want to go out of my comfort zone and try Morange .
