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?
