'Tis The Season To... Wear Darker Lips

Now it's December it's officially okay to wear darker lips. Some people have been wearing darker lips for a while now, but I find myself only reaching for my darker lipsticks when it starts to get just that little bit colder. There are three lipsticks that are always my go-to's and there's one to suit every budget!

Clockwise From The Top:
Mac Matte in Shade Russian Red //
 No7 'Stay Perfect' in Shade 35 Grace //

Rimmel 'The Only 1' in Shade 800 Under My Spell

Mac // No7 // Rimmel

As I said before, there's one to suit every budget. Rimmel 'The Only 1' is £6.99, No7 'Stay Perfect' is £9.95 and the Mac Lipstick is £15.50. I know Russian Red can be worn all year round, and I do wear it all year round, but I think it's fitting for this time of year. It's a bit deeper than a lot of other reds and gives a somewhat festive vibe. 'Grace' by No7 has been a firm favourite of mine for many years now, where as 'Under My Spell' by Rimmel is a very recent purchase. I've only worn this lipstick once but I love the colour and it has good staying power. You can also layer it up to make it more of a darker purple.

Which are your favourite lipsticks for this season?

Summer To Autumn Transition Nail Colours

Finding colours that will take you through from Summer to Autumn can be a bit tricky. It's those in-between-seasons times that can catch us out and make you unsure of what colours you should be wearing and when. Here I'll run you through my four favourite nail colours for this transition period.

From Left to Right:

1. Hanover Square by Nails Inc. // 2. Watermelon by Barry M // 

3. Raspberry by Barry M // 4. Berry Stain by Maybelline

I love these colours for the Summer/Autumn season because they give a nice pop of colour without being too summery. I think the thing that makes these perfect for this time of year is that they would look just as good laid by the pool, as they would cozying up by the fire on an autumn night. 

I have to say, out of these three brands of nail varnishes, Maybelline is my favourite. The Forever Strong Super Stay varnishes that they do are amazing, they stay on for ages without chipping and the colour doesn't fade with wear. It's also really easy to apply as the brush is domed on the end instead of flat like regular brushes. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try!

What are your go to nail varnishes for this time of year? 

*Just FYI, in person, Raspberry by Barry M is more of a darker berry red than it's showing up on camera, it didn't photograph well unfortunately!*
