I don't know about you, but I can definitely sense a change in the seasons. The air is starting to get cooler as we transition into fall where I live in the United States. This is one of my favorite times of year as far as fashion and makeup is concerned. I love layering my clothes and wearing scarves and sweaters.
As far as makeup goes, I have been loving the new lip trends. I have been embracing purples and plumbs and vampy reds and browns. Here are a few of my go to lip products for this season!
The first three are very similar in color, but are different in finish. I'll put hand swatches after each individual photo to compare products.
I picked up the Maybelline New York's Color Elixir in Raspberry Rhapsody a couple of days ago. I feel late to the game on these, but I understand what all the hype is about. It smells like a cupcake and is a very pigmented lip gloss as far as lip glosses go. The one complaint I have with these are that they are a bit sticky on the lips.
The second lip product I have is one I got from my job at Ulta. It's a lip stick in No. 213, Raspberry Beret. I find this to be a satin finish. It goes on my lips very smooth and the color pay-off is very build-able.
The third round of raspberry tone colors is a Revlon Color Burst Lacquer Balm in No. 115, Whimsical Fantaisiste. I really like these balms. I own three as of right now, and they have incredible color payoff and have a refreshing mint smell, which you may or may not like. I think it is for plumping purposes. This particular color has glitter in it, which I don't mind, but others may.
Here is another Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm in No. 135, Provocateur. This does not include glitter, but like the one above it includes the minty smell. It goes on so smooth and is very pigmented and has to be one of my favorite reds of all time. I find this color is a great transition shade from summer to fall.
This last shade is a very bold move lip color. LIKE, IT IS SO DARK!!!! I was terrified at first and it took a couple of tries to get this on just right. It's Wet n Wild's No. 508A in Black Orchid. It is an incredibly vampy dark/ brown-red shade. If you like Lorac's in Dominatrix, you will find this color very comparable and a lot less money to spend. I recommend with this shade to use a liner before hand.
I hope you find this post helpful, and try some of these out! Don't be afraid to try colors you're not used to! You may really like them! :D I'm going to go now and put on loads of lip balm after wiping my lips so much for this post!
