My Autumn/Winter Lipsticks


Lipsticks are something in my makeup bag that will never date and I will never get bored of. I don't have a massive mound of a collection like I'm sure some of you girls do- but what I do have is enough to experiment and mess around with. Oh, and enough to choose my favourite three for this season!


Revlon -10 Wine me Not | Rimmel Moisture Renew - 470 Glam Plum | Rimmel Kate Moss - 107


The first is one from the Rimmel Matte Kate Moss collection. It's a really lovely colour and consistency. I sometimes find that some matte lipsticks drag when applying them, and go crusty after about five minutes of wear, but this is pretty much perfect! It lasts for ages, keeps it's colour and would suit pretty much any skin tone or hair colour. I bought this when in a bit of an experimental mood shall I say and thought it would look ridiculous on me even though the colour is lush. However, I was pleasantly surprised and this is one of my staple colours for this season! 


This one was a bit of an unusual buy for me. Now looking back on my pessimistic view (dramatic-maybe?) on why I didn't think I would like this, I feel as though I was bonkers. I'm not normally one to draw myself towards lipsticks that seem glossy and neither will I buy lipsticks as I remember watching an advert a few years ago and the models lips looked like slugs with the amount of 'glossy lip product' on them. That image has forever scared me. However, I feel this whim of a purchase is had made this terrifying image leave my mind! Without holding back, I expected this product to be very greasy, look gloopy and overly glossy. But, it's nothing like this at all and really pleasantly surprised me! It's a bit glossy yes but no where near what I anticipate with an image of overly exaggerated glossy lips in my head. Basically, to stop the rambling, I love the colour, I was happily surprised when I didn't look like I had two slugs for lips and I wear it an awwful lot!


Aaah, and finally Revlon's 'Wine me Not'. I saw this on a blog once, absolutely loved the colour and searched everywhere I could find as it had been discontinued. This resulted to me going on eBay and buying a brand new and sealed (for those of you that are likely to freak out) lipstick and oh my goodness I haven't been able to put it down since. Revlon, why oh why did you discontinue? It's matte, which we've all figured out from this rambly blog post that I love, it's the perfect colour for autumn winter and there isn't much more I can say really!


Thanks ever so much for reading guys and look out for more blogposts now I'm getting back into the swing of things!

Take care and much love

New Favourite Lippy's

Today I took a trip into town and as always I ended up in Superdrug. I fancied trying a lipstick from Barry M, but remembered the reviews I'd seen about them being very drying and as my lips are already prone to dryness, the hassle probably wasn't worth it!

I've always loved Rimmel lipsticks and the colours from the Kate Moss collection stood out to me. I picked up the shade '20', a bright fuchsia and also 'Alarm 170'. Alarm is a bright red and wasn't actually in the Kate Moss collection but it was mixed in with them none the less! 





Both of the lipsticks I think have got cool undertones. I didn't realise when I was buying them (beauty novice over here) but when I got home, put them on and realised that the dreaded 'sweetcorn teeth' as mentioned in my last post, wasn't so much of a problem!

The colours really bright but I love it. It's really easy to apply, just slides on and leaves a lovely finish which isn't too shiny- exactly what I like!




The picture of the bullet of this lipstick isn't exactly true to colour and I found it very hard to get the right lighting to pick up the beautiful red colour! Again, if I'm right, this has got cool undertones which I was happy about as my other red lipsticks seem to not. It's super easy to apply and you only need one sweep across your lips because the colour is so intense! 

Although the colours are pretty bright, they are definitely ones that I will be getting good use out of!

Superdrug have a three for two offer on Rimmel at the moment, so go and check it out and grab yourself a bargain! To be fair, they probably have 'three for two' on loads of their cosmetics, but I was too taken in my these lipsticks to go any further! Haha, you know what it's like giiiirls!

What are your favourite lipsticks at the moment? What are your thoughts on Rimmels lip products? Do tell! :)

Thanks for reading guys!
