There wasn't meant to be another '3...' post today but the video that I've been trying to film for the past week (which has been disrupted by a cold and noisy construction men amongst other things) just so happened to include three lipsticks. So here's a little preview of some of the products that have wedged themselves firmly into my autumn makeup bag.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate lipstick in 111 'Kiss of Life' (this seems to be the only one of the new collection with a name, but I also love 107), is a perfect autumn red. It's basically a slightly more pink-toned, much more user friendly version of MAC's Ruby Woo. They are meant to be matte, but the formula is more of a velvety finish which is comfortable to wear and more forgiving on drier lips.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 005 Crush is a lovely squashed berry hue which will stick around through numerous hot chocolates. I've been wearing these balm stains almost everyday since they launched as they're ridiculously low maintenance and I just top up with my own lip balm when the balm starts to wear off after an hour or so.
Finally there is Revlon Matte lipstick in 009 Fabulous Fig. I always think this lipstick walks a dangerous line to being very 90's brown but there is just enough red to keep it on the right side of terracotta which is a surprisingly pretty and flattering shade.
What are your favourite autumn shades?
I really need to try the new Kate lipsticks - I love my lasting finish ones, but I love a matte finish and that colour looks amazing on :)

ReplyDeleteSo many bloggers make the Rimmel Kate lipstick sound so lovely in formula but I really don't like the colors!! It's a real shame :( I'm loving my L'Oreal infallible lipstick in "Unending Amber" this Fall!

I love the revlon matte!
ReplyDeleteI really like the layout of this post, being able to see the lipsticks both as a close up and on the lips is really great x
ReplyDeleteI think I need Fabulous Fig in my life. It looks like a shade that I would just love! Also, I have the balm stain in Crush as well. I love it, the balm stains are so nice to use. I find my lips tend to dry with them as well.

ReplyDeleteI love the shade of Fabulous Fig -- especially the fact that it's matte. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Revlon balm stain looks gorgeous! Knowing that it will last through hot chocolate drinking makes it even more appealing :)

I don't know why I'm so obsessed with darker colours but so scared to try them myself! These are some great options to ease into it, thanks for the swatches. xx

Love the rimmel lipstick , but how do you keep them from smudging? I have the 107 and I don't use a lipliner but I find it hard to keep it in my natural liplines.. do you use a lipliner first or something else?
ReplyDeleteLove the rimmel lipstick, I have the 107 but find it hard to apply it without smudging over my 'natural lipline' , do you use a lipliner of do you have a trick for this? thank you and love your blog! :)

ReplyDeleteCrush looks beautiful ! xx
