Hi guys

Now that autumn is finally here and I have put all of these lipsticks front and centre so it’s easier for me to grab one of the darker shades in my collection. Autumn is obviously my favourite time of the year. I love the smell in the air, I love fireworks, I love hot baths with warmer scents, I love Halloween and candy apples, and I love the colours of leaves and chunky knitwear. But most of all I love that it is perfectly acceptable to drink hot chocolate every day as of now ha-ha.

This post is about lipsticks though so I am gonna dive straight in.

1. Mac Riri Woo (£15.50) – I love colour of this. It is obviously a repackaged version of the popular Ruby Woo but I find this is an extreme matte. I do love this lipstick but if you don’t like matte lipsticks then you won’t like this as it is very stiff when applying. I am used to it now and find it is the perfect lipstick. I normally apply a lip liner first to give a sharp edge and then apply Riri Woo to fill in my lips. I have linked Ruby Woo for you as this is limited edition and has sold out.

2. Limecrime Poisonberry – I think this is my favourite lipstick. It is the most gorgeous purple shade I have come across and is something I will repurchase over and over until they stop selling them. This gives an opaque finish so it isn’t matte. It isn’t drying on the lips at all but I still apply a lip balm underneath as I have gotten used to that step. This tends to bleed a little so make sure to line your lips with a deep purple shade.

3. Apocalips Matte Lip Velvet in Burning Lava (£6.49) – This is a mousse like product. It’s supposed to be a matte finish but it isn’t as intense as a full blown matte meaning it doesn’t dry out your lips too much. It is a gorgeous deep red shade that is perfect for this time of year. Again, use a lip liner and then apply for a sharper edge.

4. Elizabeth Arden in Brick (£21) – This is a brownish red. This has a creamy finish which is perfect for those who don’t want a matte finish. I like this when I want a sheen finish to my lips. I don’t wear lip-glosses but this is perfect for creating a nice shine without the stickiness of a gloss. Obviously it rubs off during the day but pop it in your bag if you are going out and apply throughout the day.

5. Elizabeth Arden in Ruby Rose (£21) – I love this colour. Sometimes you don’t want to wear dark lips and I have reached for this on those days to give my lips a hint of colour.

6. Tom Ford Ultra Shine Gloss in Wet Violet (£33) - I have a full review which you can find here but this is the perfect shade for autumn/winter. As I said, I don’t like to wear glosses but I will make an exception for this as it’s far too good.

7. Mac in Rebel (£15) – I buy this over and over as it’s the most beautiful berry shade. It isn’t too intense. If you want to venture out into darker shades, I would line my lips and pop this on. Use your finger to wash it out a little if you don’t like it too dark and then apply a clear gloss over the top to further dilute it. If, like me, you are a dark lip lover then apply and let those lips do the talking. This is also a matte finish.

What is your favourite shade for autumn?
