A/W - Top 5 Lipsticks

 

Hello loves!

I adore fall and winter. The season where dark vampy lips are always an acceptable choice.

Of course looking at the above photos it's obvious I'm all about my reds opposed to the ever popular berry shades. 

These are my most worn lipsticks this time of year although it doesn't really look like it, I promise you they are. I just own a ridiculous amount of lip products.

Three of them happen to be from the Rimmel Kate Moss range of lipsticks, two of which are in the matte formula.

Kate Moss Shade 10 -  A perfect red. While not completely matte I wouldn't say it's creamy either. I'd call this more of a semi matte finish. I've been wearing this one quite a lot in the past couple of weeks. The great thing about the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks is how extremely affordable they are, retailing at about $6.99 CAD.

107 - If you haven't seen this particular color splashed across various beauty blogs, where have you been? Of course once I saw Zoella in this I had to have it, I adore her! 107 is a stunning dark berry color that is perfect for the fall. 

111 - Okay, I know this looks almost identical to shade 10 but this formula is matte and quite honestly I really don't need both but I love them both and will continue to use each of them.

MAC Russian Red - I've talked about this particular lipstick more than enough on my blog. I love it, it's by far one of my favorites in my collection.

Lancome Red Stiletto - This is the creamiest one in the bunch and again is just that perfect holiday red. I'll be honest and say this is the bottom of my top 5 mostly because I prefer a matte finish.

What's your favorite color to sport during Fall and Winter?

Top 5 - Lipsticks {Drugstore Edition}

Hey loves!

It's been a few days since my last post, I was having some serious bloggers block for a while and thought why not do a Top 5 post as I love to read them and figured you might as well.

We're going to chat about my top 5 favorite drug store lipsticks.

They're almost all reds & the same brand, oops. 

I can't even fathom how many times I've mentioned that red is by far my all time favorite lip color on my blog but if this doesn't prove it, I don't know what will.

{Note: The swatches follow left to right as they are laid in the above photos}

Covergirl {Hot Passion} & Rimmel London Kate Moss in {111, 42, 01 & 107}

Do you see a running theme here?

I think Covergirl renamed this shade "Hot" When I was searching for the link I was unable to find "Hot Passion" This is one of the reds Taylor Swift is known to rock, there's a fun fact for you! I love this because it's matte which is my favorite finish and it lasts on the lips forever. After swatching these I went to remove them with a Burts Bee Makeup Remover cloth and this was the only one which didn't come off fully. This does leave a stain on the lips once it wears down and for a matte lipstick it's very comfortable on the lips, no negatives about this bad boy!

The Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipsticks by Rimmel. I love these. 

I own a lot of lip products, both drug store and high end. Out of all the drug store lip products I've tried these are the best. They are only $6.99 and are extremely pigmented and I'd say are more of a satin finish as they're not a flat matte nor are they shimmers. I own almost every shade these come in including the nude collection but I narrowed it down to the 111, 42, 01 and 107.

107 is a beauty blogger cult favorite including beauty gurus like Zoella so I won't go into much detail about it.

I didn't realize until they were swatched but 111 and 01 are identical so I guess you don't really need both.

42 is from the nude collection and I love it because it's not so pale that I turn into a corpse when wearing it and I like pink toned nudes as I find they suit my pale skin better than ones with brown undertones.

So, there you have it my top 5 favorite drug store lippies.

What are your top 5?
