You can really never have enough lipstick. At least that's what I tell myself. Sure I already have a few lippies perfect for fall but how can you say no to these beauties pictured below. From drug store finds to high end brands you are sure to find something to achieve the perfect pout!
Swatches from left to right:
Lime Crime Velvetines Red Velvet www.limecrime.com
This color is absolutely amazing. It goes on as a gloss/paint but dries as a matte. This will definitely be a go to for the Holiday season!
Kate by Rimmel London 01
This color seemed to photograph a little brighter than it actually is once applied. In true color I believe it to be a more brick color red with burnt orange undertones. Either way it is a beautiful color. I wore this over the weekend and I did experience a small amount of bleeding. That can easily be cured by using a lip liner.
Wet n Wild (Fergie Collection) Ferguson Crest Cabernet
I wore this color today and needless to say I love it. And the price...YES!! I applied the lipstick on the heavier side to achieve a gorgeous vampy purple-ish wine color. I will be getting lots of wear out of this. The lipstick is very creamy and moisturizing. Applied easily.
NARS Train Bleu Velvet Matte Lip Pencil www.narscosmetics.com
NARS is and always will be my favorite make-up brand. With that being said it was only right that I picked up Train Bleu. This color is intense, dark, vampy and perfect for fall/winter. I would describe Train Bleu as a rich dark plumy burgundy purple with a very barely there brown undertone. It's really a stunning color in person.
NARS Cinematic Lipstick in the color Full Frontal (Guy Bourdin Collection) www.narscosmetics.com
I was very excited for the Guy Bourdin release. I'm not really into eye shadow so I figured I would just pick up one of the lipsticks from the collection. I decided on Full Frontal. These lipsticks are very easy to apply, creamy and moisture enriched. The color is a pretty deep lavender but definitely not a plum or burgundy. I have not worn this color yet but will most likely apply a heavier coat to achieve a more opaque/dark finish.
Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in the color Shameless
Can I just say that I searched high and low for this color for WEEKS and just found it yesterday! I snagged the last one in the display at my local Walgreens. My searching was well worth the wait. I LOVE this color! After seeing countless reviews and swatches on various social networks I already knew the color payoff was amazing. I will be purchasing a back up as soon as I can find it again. I have heard it closely compares to MACs Heroine which is limited edition and not available for purchase at this time. I do not own Heroine therefore I surely was not going to miss the boat on this one. It is a matte finish but not a drying matte hence the Balm reference. It has it's fair share of moisture and applies easily.
MAC Rebel www.maccosmetics.com
Rebel is definitely a cult favorite for fall. A gorgeous smooth satin finish along with the boldness of a perfect plum/burgundy screams fall. I think Rebel is an all around favorite. It's not too dark, it's flattering to all skin tones and the finish allows for light coverage or it can be buildable to a more opaque finish. Can't go wrong with this one ladies!
MAC Flat Out Fabulous www.maccosmetics.com
Let's just say I'm FLAT OUT happy that I finally received it. This color was apart of the insanely popular Retro Matte collection. To say mattes are popular this season an understatement. Mattes are literally on fire this season. I called and visited a few MAC stores in my area to no avail. Finally (so I thought) Nordstrom found it for me and had it scheduled to ship. A week later my order was cancelled. Reason being "the lipstick sold out before the order could be processed" Again, my search started which eventually lead me back to Nordstrom where it was still sold out but they were offering a "pay now ship at a later date type of situation" I took a chance and received my order in the next 1.5 to 2 weeks. Now that I have it I have to admit it was worth the wait. I did however think the color was lighter than it appeared in the Retro Matte ads. All in all it's a great matte fuchsia color. Not bright flamingo fuchsia. For me this color is appropriate for fall because of the finish. It can however be worn in the spring/summer as well.
