6 Autumn/ Winter Lip products

We still have summer here in the UK, but we are sure that everyone out there can feel the autumn breeze kicking in. With that we have started moving towards everything which is related to autumn and for some reason this time we are excited about autumn/winter, maybe had too much of a summer?
So lets get started!!!

Karen's Picks

I love wearing this colour during autumn/winter, because my outfits in that season are quite dark, for example, my coats are usually black. Therefore, to brighten up my overall look, I like to wear this lipstick. This colour isn't too bright, but enough in my opinion and I always get compliments when I wear this :) Also, this is not drying at all, which is perfect for the cold weather! 

As I have mentioned, I like to wear a brighter lip during autumn and this is another reason for choosing this lipstick. I am not yet comfortable to wear a bright red lipstick, and this is the closest shade I could wear to a shape red colour. I love this because it has a mint scent to it, which is always nice to smell haha :) 

This is one of my favourite lipsticks! The pink shade of this is absolutely lovely and it is such a 'me shade'. I believe that this is an 'underdog' product, because noone ever talks about this!! However, if you are willing to invest into a high-end lip product, I would 100% recommend this! BECAUSE, first, just look at the packaging, it's so elegant and beautiful! Second, as this is a serum for the lips, it was designed to treat your lips with moisture which is amazing for all year round. Third, the product is so smooth, and it just melts onto your lips :) There are just so many good things about this, so you should really check this out next time you walk pass a Dior counter :P x

                Left Rimmel 128 Starry-Eyed| Middle Maybelline 540 Hollywood Red| Right Revlon Lipbutter 010 Raspberry Pie

    Rimmel lasting finish lipstick- 128 Starry-Eyed
    I Love this colour, it is dark, but not vampy. It is a bold colour which says "I'm Fashionable". It just adds to any outfit or make-up look. It looks lovely ith a natural eye look and even with a winged-eye liner. The pigmentation is great of these Rimmel lipsticks and it lasts well too. Unfortunately I couldn't find this colour on the boots website, you guys should check it out in store if they have it.

    Maybelline colour sensational- 540 Hollywood Red
    LOVE LOVE LOVE this colour, this is one of my favourite lipstick. During the colder months I wear it all the time but even for summer it is a good colour. It just brightens my face up without looking like I have put too much effort, I will say as it is, it makes me feel pretty! Pigmentation is great, lasts really well, moisturising and creamy. I think this colour will always be in my collection forever. I will repurchase it again and again! Unfortunately I couldn't find the link on boots. But they do have it in store.

    Revlon colourburst lip butter- 010 Raspberry Pie
    When I bought it I didn't like it at first, now I can't remember why I didn't like it. The hype about these lip butters are all worth it. This colour especially, is also my all time favourite, it is glossy as well but not sticky like a lip gloss. The pigmentation again is great and lasts so well. I apply it lightly if I want a subtle look and if I want to go bright I layer it up. Also it smells like vanilla. Absolutely love it.

    We love these shades, we already know we will be wearing them like there's no tomorrow. ;)
    Let us know which are your autumn/winter favourite shades! xx

    Top 8 Summer Lip Products

    Hey girls :) Today, we will be showing you four lip products each, which we find we have been using continuously during this hot summer! Hope you will enjoy reading this :) x

    Avneesh's Picks
    These are the 4 lip products which have been my go-to this summer. They are not in any particular order of favourites and I love different things about each of them. :)

    L'Oreal Glamshine stain splash 101 Lolita
    I love how this lip colour gives my lips a natural look, its also not very sticky. However I don't like the formula much because it just gives a weird feeling on my lips, but I don't mind it much, however it does dry my lips sometimes. It feels very light on the lips. The pigmentation of the colour I have isn't great but I think its just the colour. However it isn't a stain because it doesn't last long.

    I really wanted this lip-gloss but I thought all of them had sparkles in them which I am not a huge fan of. This being expensive I wanted a colour which I could wear in any season. When I went to the Dior counter they had enormous number of colours which were all so lovely. I love this colour and it isn't very sticky. It doesn't have any smell at all. The pigmentation is great, it lasts long and the packaging is pretty.

    This is a very summery colour, and it does have silver sparkles in it but they are not over powering. It lasts well it has a slight vanilla smell but it just goes away when I apply it. It brightens my face up and I like to use it on bright summer days.

    This has been my go-to for a while now. I will definitely be buying more colours in it because its moisturising, easy to apply, lasts well and a very wearable colour. It has a minty smell which I don't mind but some people might not like it. It is a twist up so there is no worry about sharpening. It is one of my favourite drugstore products. 

    Here is a picture of how they look on my lips :)



    Karen's Picks
    After reading Avneesh's recommendations, it's time to hear about mine :) Also, I'm sorry that I can't show you how they look on my lips, because my lips are so dry (sunburnt) right now, so I don't want to dry them out even more by reapplying four different lip products :/ But I have done swatches on my hand, hope you won't mind :P  

    This lipstick has been talked about by a lot of Youtubers, I know that Zoella wears it quite often in her videos. I, personally, have a love-hate relationship with this product. I love the shade, and the lipstick is ridiculously creamy which I love! However, when I was wearing this in the UK, it dried my lips and it was pretty annoying! Luckily, this does not apply to me anymore- I don't know if it is because I'm in Hong Kong now, or what, but I love how this looks on me :) 

    I feel like this product is an underdog product, because I don't hear a lot people talk about this! This is basically a lip cream which is SO pigmented and it lasts for about 4-5 hours!! It smells lovely too :) This is such a fun colour for summer! I wish Collection has brought out more shades as it only has four at the moment :/ 

    I'm sure all of you know how amazing these Revlon lipsticks are!! I particularly like this shade when I want a casual look during summer. I think this is like a 'your lips but better' with a bit of red undertone to it which will suit a lot different skin tone :) 

    I have put this lipstick to the last, not because I don't like it as much as the others, but it's because this may not be available worldwide. I got this at an Etude House store in Hong Kong, which is a Korean brand. So, I'm so sorry if you can't get this at your country :/ Anyway, it's a bright pink shade which is lovely for summer :) Also, the packaging of these lipsticks are just so beautiful!! 



    So, here are our 8 summer lip products! Are any of them your summer lip products too? Let us know :) x
