Autumn Edit: Lip Products

Hello! So this is the last post of my Autumn Edits! There have been 2 others: nail polish and blush if you want to have a look at them just click the links!

So for Autumn I LOVE dark lip colours, I like everything dark, vampy, almost gothic but not quite so scary. I like burgundys, plums, all deep, dark rich tones, so here are the some of the ones I have in my (ever-growing) collection!

Plums: Barry M lipstick in 152, e.l.f studio lipstick in beautiful berry, revlon colourstay lipstick in plum, e.l.f studio tinted lip balm in plum, maybelline 10 hour tint gloss in timeless plum.
I absolutely love these deep, rich plum colours, I think they look so interesting on the lips, purple is just a little bit different to more classic reds, and I think they're quite daring and fashionable too. I'd wear plum lips with quite an understated outfit, probably a baggy jumper with a shirt underneath (do I see an outfit of the day coming along?)

Burgundies and Deep Reds: Bodyshop lip and cheek tint in 01, 17 mirror shine lipstick in cookie, bobbi brown lip colour in burnt red.
Burgundies are my faaaaavourite lip colour to wear in the colder months, I think they just look so beautiful and they look great on every skintone. And deep reds are just so perfect for this season, they look really rich and warm, when I think of deep red lips I think of going for a walk in the countryside in the autumn when the air's really crisp and being wrapped up in a big chunky knit scarf and wearing a tweed item of clothing (am I getting a bit carried away?)

As you can see, I have a mixture of tinted balms, stains and lipsticks, I definitely wear tinted balms the most on my lips because I just find that they are far more low maintenance, and when I'm out at uni all day I really don't have time for touch-ups. But I think it's nice to have a selection of different types of product to use and mix it up a bit!

What are your favourite lip products and colours to wear in the autumn? Do you have any of mine?

Autumn Edit: Blushes

Hello! I have returned with another post in my Autumnal makeup feature, and today I have a little selection of autumnal blushes!

 Sleek blush in Pomegranate: I LOVE this colour, it is so gorgeous, and so A/W appropriate. I don't quite feel like this is the right sort of colour to wear in the spring or summer, because it's quite deep and plummy, but I've been waiting for the Autumn to crack this one out, I think the colour just screams Autumn! I know that NARS do a similar shade to this, although I'm not sure what it's called, but why buy the expensive one when you can have the cheaper (and great quality) version!

 Sleek blush in Flushed: another lovely deep, rich, autumnal colour from sleek, this is more of a red than the last one, but it's not a bright red, more of a brick sort of colour I suppose. And this is such a lovely colour, it's just so rich! Again, I've been saving this one to wear during the colder months, so I'm excited they're finally here!!

 Sleek blush by 3 palette in Sugar: can you see the cheeky swatch I've made on the middle shade (muscovado)? I think this is an absolutely perfect trio for autumn, you've got a lovely plummy red, it looks like a mixture of the two blushes above. A shimmery burgundy, and a terracotta. All three shades are such rich, autumny colours, they just remind me of the colours of falling leaves or something, I haven't had a proper chance to try this out yet, I got it when they were first released in the summer because I knew this would be great come the autumn, so I will be reporting how this one goes!!

Jelly pong pong jelly flush: I absolutely love this one, it's more of a stain than your typical powder blush, but I love that it's different, I hardly ever some across push-up stick blushes like this! It's a really lovely soft glowy red colour, it gives you the sort of glow you'd get from a walk on a lovely crisp autumn day. I think jelly pong pong are currently in the process of rebranding to "so susan" so if you were interested in this but couldn't find jelly pong pong, just try looking for so susan instead! 

What are your favourite autumn blush picks? Do you have any of these blushes?
