Perfect Autumn/ Winter Lipstick (Drugstore & High End Products)

Hi guys :) 


This post is on my favourite Autumn/ Winter lipsticks! They are almost all quite dark but I love to wear vampy lips in winter :) I tried to include drugstore and high end lipsticks and products that are internationally available! If you have any questions please leave them below or Instagram me.. I hope you enjoy :)


Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Black Cherry (477) : 

Left with flash...Right without flash

This lipstick is a very deep purple berry colour. It definitely feels like more of a satin finish lipstick because it's so creamy! I would pair this lipstick with MAC Nightmoth lipliner. It is very pigmented and it lasts well on the lips. (I could probably get two hours wear if I use a liner). I think it's quite a good price at around €10/£8/$7 and it's available internationally! It should suit all skin tones.. I would probably give it 8 out of 10 :) 


MAC Ruby Woo : 


Left with flash...Right without flash

This is probably one of the most famous red lipsticks ever! It is a matte finish lipstick.. This makes it quite dry so I usually warm it up a tiny bit on the back of my hand :) It is a blue-toned red which should be suitable for all skintones. It has the most amazing vanilla scent.. I could smell it all day! I use this with MAC Cherry lipliner which helps it lasts so I get about 3-4 hours wear out of it. I would give this lipstick 9/10 :)


Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in 02 Beige Trench : 


Left with flash...Right without flash

I included this as a neutral option for anyone who doesn't like dark colours. It is a very brown-tone nude. This is a really creamy lipstick so it's perfect for those days when your lips might be a little chapped from the cold weather! It is not the most long-wearing lipstick but it's a light colour so it's easy to put another coat on without paying too much attention :) I think it's quite a universal colour and it would look good on anyone! I would give this 7 out of 10 just because you can find other colours almost exactly the same from other brands so it's not very unique! 


NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo : 


Left with flash...Right without flash

I already have an in-depth review on this in a previous blogpost! I just wanted to include it as an alternative to an actual lipstick. I would give this product 9/10 :)


MAC Plumful : 


Left with flash...Right without flash

This is a Lustre finish lipstick. Like with the Bourjois lipstick, it is a little less in-your-face than the other colours. I included this because it's quite a unique colour and I definitely don't have anything else like it in my collection! It usually lasts around an hour on the lips so you will definitely need to reapply throughout the day. This doesn't bother me at all though so I have to give it 10 out of 10! 


Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 107 : 


Left with flash...Right without flash

This is more of a deep raspberry colour rather than the usual purple/ plum colour. This lipstick is really long-lasting! I have eaten and drank with it on and not had to reapply it after :) Although it's a matte finish it's still very moisturizing. The only thing that I don't like about this lipstick is the scent - it's very artificial and fruity! I think this is a great price and it's an exact dupe for MAC Diva lipstick.. I would give this 9 out of 10! 



If you have any suggestions of lipsticks I could try let me know :) Also if you want to see any specific blog posts in the future don't hesitate to email me! Thanks so much for reading - Special thanks to Saoirse Murray ;)

  2. Hello Shannon!! :-D

    I meant to ask you if Revlon Black Cherry is nearly as matte and opaque as Rihanna's Talk That Talk since you said they are very similar, now that I see your swatches it definitely looks like it is!! I'll go try it on myself as soon as possible!!

    If you have the chance to go to a Mac Pro Store try Sin. It is a matte blackened red, the colour is as strong as Diva but is more of a true red without the drop of plum that Diva has.

    See you later on Instagram! :-)) :-*
