Top 5: Autumn Lips

17 October 2014
We're well into October now and the truth is until a few days ago it didn't even feel like Autumn was here yet, the days were mild, there was barely any rain and the sun was splitting the trees - not exactly your typical Autumn weather & its only been these past two or three days that its been dull and miserable and somehow I found myself rummaging through my collection for the excuse to wear anything berry or purple toned since before it had been too bright! These are my top 5 lipsticks for A/W at the minute :) 


1.  Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm - Sultry. This is probably my most worn lip crayon and I think its because its not too berry-ish, more of a browny plum colour on my pale skin, its more of a transitional piece from the sunny Autumn days to the typical dull weather days when a darker lip is needed. Ive featured this in favourites before and for good reason, its not at all drying (even though its matte) and lasts so long! (even after eating) Plus its the easiest to apply/touch up when on the go!

2. MAC Rebel. Its such a bloggers favourite, I remember reading about it all last year but never got round to purchasing it myself - just admiring from a far but over the summer I picked it up so I would be more than prepared for AW and its such a gorgeous colour that looks a lot scarier in the bullet than when its actually applied and I can't wait to wear it to death over the next few months.

3, Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick - 107. Another favourite of well... everyone but before I started reading blogs I loved this little gem, its budget friendly, a gorgeous colour and again not too drying for being matte. I know a lot of people aren't too keen on matte but I love it, I never have to worry about it budging throughout the day! And if you don't have this in your collection yet, you need it!

4. Revlon Lip Butter - Macaroon. The Revlon Lip Butters are an option I always find myself reaching for when I'm feeling lazy or just popping to Tescos or something, I don't want anything too bold but I want a pop of colour so I don't look too washed out and Macaroon is such a lovely shade. Its more of a pinky/berry and its slightly shimmery so a nice change from all the matte.

5. Rimmel Apocalips - Galaxy. These lipstick/lipgloss hybrids were all the rage not too long ago but there were only two I fell in love, one of them being Galaxy, the purple offering in the collection. It has a doe foot applicator and upon application is ten times more glossy than all of the other lipsticks I've mentioned but after a few minutes it dries and gives a lovely purple coat - not too dark. The only thing is it smells a bit odd & fades to leave an all over stain eventually but if you can get past the smell then its lovely.  

Thanks for reading, Jenny xo
P.s what lipsticks are you going to be wearing to death throughout AW14?

  1. I'm in love with the revlon lip butters there so moisturising and have a nice colour to them without it being to over powering haven't they? I have a few but my fave it 'juicy papaya' it's s nice coraly shade probs not for this time of the year but perfect for spring time :) I'll be staying tuned to more of your future posts :) xx

    1. Its a must to have at least one, theres such a superb colour range although I think the darker shades of the revlon lip butters are much more effective :) thanks! x

    1. The Rimmel 107 is a staple Autumn colour, you should definitely give it a go - that or the Revlon offering (but I'm a bit biased) :) Thank you! They're perfect for this time of year x

  9. I love the Revlon balms, I haven't tried Sultry though and it looks like just what I'm after for this season.
    MAC Rebel is on my Christmas list,And of course I am a big fan of Kate Moss 107 too - you can't go wrong with that one!

    Thanks for your blog link, you've got yourself a new follower!

    1. It's my absolute favourite Revlon balm (tied with Honey from the older collection), it's amazing :) I hope you do, its amazing :) Its the time for berry lips, I couldn't agree more! Thank you x

  10. I still haven't tried any of the apocalips but they all look fab! Same with the Revlon balms. Anything that can be worn as a lipstick but is still moisturising is great! x

    1. I really recommend trying the Revlon balms - I'm not too keen on the lacquer ones as much but the matte ones are incredible :) I thought they'd be drying but theyaren't in the slightestwhich is wonderful x
