AUTUMN LIPSTICK PICKS

As Summer is pretty much at an end and Autumn (fall) has arrived, everyone is going to be wearing different - most likely darker - lipsticks. Because of that I have decided to make a post showing 3 lipsticks that I'll be wearing throughout Autumn.

Left to right: Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 107, MAC New York Apple, 17 Mirror Shine Scrumptious

Just a quick note - I've noticed that the lipsticks look a bit more pink in the images I have taken of my lips then they should, the swatches are probably more accurate representations of the colour.

Rimmel  Kate Moss Matte Lipstick (107); Boots; £5.49

A deep, wine red colour. I love this colour and it stays really well. I also think Rimmel is currently on a 2 for £10 offer at Boots - so now would be a good time to buy!

MAC Frost Lipstick (New York Apple); MAC stores or counters; £15.50

Another deep red. This has a slight berry colour which should be great for Autumn and I love it. I also think that it would make a nice Christmas colour.

Seventeen Mirror Shine Lipstick (Scrumptious); Boots; £4.79

Even though this lipstick looks purple (see image at top of post) it doesn't come out quite the way you expect. It has a glossy finish and looks like a purple-toned red. I'd say that it's fairly sheer so would not make the lips the most striking part of the make up look.

MAC Lipstick Collection

In the last month or two I have purchased a few MAC lipsticks and I have definitely been enjoying them quite a lot as would be expected from a lover of lipstick like me. I am fairly new to more expensive make up so MAC isn't a brand I have owned a lot of products from before so my collection is only just beginning and hopefully will continue to grow in the coming months/years. If anyone is reading I would love it if you could recommend some good ones as I'm kind of spoiled for choice whenever I'm at the MAC counter! Currently considering getting Impassioned.
I have 3 lipsticks from MAC at the moment (pictured below in the following order) - Angel, Bombshell + New York Apple.

If you are familiar with these lipsticks you may well have noticed that they are all of the Frost finish. This was far from intentional, these were simply the colours which I happened to like (please bear in mind that the swatches provided aren't particularly good as my camera hates me today). I am definitely interested in trying some of the other finishes when I next buy a MAC lipstick.

Angel is a fairly subtle baby pink colour that edges towards a nude, although I definitely wouldn't describe it as a nude. I really like this colour but I wear it the least as unfortunately it melted slightly and snapped off. It is now partially reassembled but I'm wary of breaking it again. May repurchase to avoid the the stress of breaking it. You could definitely wear this as an everyday lipstick and would not have to be reserved for more exciting occasions.

Much brighter than Angel, Bombshell is an eye-catching pink colour. I typically wear a pink lip rather than a red so these two lipsticks are great for me. I find it to be the least moisturising of the three but isn't particularly drying compared to some lipsticks I have.

My favourite (and the most recently purchased) of the lipsticks is New York Apple. It's such a gorgeous berry red that you could either play up for the evening or down to wear casually. It is also the most moisturising of the three from my experiences so far. I just love the colour and I feel that it would look good on most skin tones and I also think that it would be more suitable for the Autumn/Fall and Winter months so I look forward to getting a lot of wear from it soon!
