My Top 5 Autumn/Winter Lipsticks!

If you hadn't already noticed, I'm a little bit excited for A/W! They're my favourite seasons of the year. What's not to love about vampy lips, woolly jumpers and chunky boots?
I'm such a sucker for shades of berry and khaki greens - if I could get away with wearing them all year round I would (I do try). I'm talking about clothing here by the way, if you hadn't clicked on. I don't imagine khaki green lips would be very sexy! 
 
So, in true A/W style my top 5 'go to' lipsticks all fall into the berry/red end of the spectrum. 




First up is Revlon's Lip Butter in 'Berry Smoothie'.
I don't think I've ever used up a lipstick but I wore this baby so much last year that there isn't much left for this A/W! It's a definite repurchase. Berry/red lips can be a bit of a hassle sometimes to apply; this is great as it's super easy to slap on and it'll add a little 'oomph' to your daytime look. Just swipe on and smush your lips together and voila, you're sorted! 

Next on the list is MAC's 'Plumful'.
This is a relatively new purchase but I've been wearing it non-stop and I just know it's gonna get a lot of Gemma lovin' this A/W. A gorgeous purpley/berry shade that isn't too much for day time wear but would also be suited for a night out. Quite a few of you commented in this post that it's similar to Rimmel's Kate Moss 107 lippie so if you don't fancy shelling out £15 that may be worth a look!
While we're on the MAC bandwagon I'll talk about 'Rebel'.
Don't be afraid of it when you see the bullet. This is a deep purple and pink toned berry (my boyfriend thinks it looks like blackcurrant). I've never come across anything like it before. It's bloomin' gorgeous! More of a night out shade rather than day time wear for me though. If you want a more in depth review check out this post.
 
Next up is Rimmel's Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in the shade '01'.
I bought this last year and my roommate at uni swiped it from me after I let her use it one night (she fell head-over-heels!) so I'm hoping this year I'll get more use out of it. We have completely different skin tones and it suits us both. If you're a little afraid of wearing red on your lips like me - fear not! You can create a completely different look depending on how much you apply; I apply a little and blend it out for a more natural(ish) look or you can layer for a more dramatic lip. 
& last but certainly not least is Benefits lipstick in the shade 'No Competition'.
This was the very first berry-esque lipstick I ever purchased! In comparison to the likes of plumful and rebel it isn't actually that 'purpley'. In fact, it looks like it has much more of a brown tone to it. Nevertheless, it's a lovely colour to create a bold A/W lip.

What will your go to lippies be for this A/W be?

  2. I love wearing Berry Smoothie, I also got so much use out of it last year, I thought it was quite a good your lips but better colour and it was just really natural. Can't wait to get it out again now!

  5. Thinking of investing in my first MAC lipstick in Rebel! It looks so stunning, completely out of my comfort zone as it's quite dark but I love the striking colour. And I have kate moss 01, such a true lovely red!
