Sorry it's been a minute, ya'll! Life kind of got in the way. And by life, I mean I have been so sick the last week or so. But I'm FINALLY(knock on wood) starting to feel better so I thought I would go ahead and get this post up! Sorry I haven't posted my other affordable fall look. I used a few Super Shock Eye Shadows from Colourpop in the look and they decided not to stock them anymore. I didn't want to put a look up on here and then ya'll not be able to purchase the products to recreate it because I know how much that sucks! I will be doing another look though, and that will be up probably this weekend.
Anyway, back to today's post! I have seen a lot of fellow beauty blogs, Instagrams, Youtubers, etc etc etc posting their favorite fall lip products/colors, so I decided to go ahead and post mine, I decided to split it up in to two different blog posts: One for high end products, another for more affordable/drugstore products. I will also be posting reviews on each product, links to said products, and pricing as well. So without further ado, let's get this started!
Anyway, back to today's post! I have seen a lot of fellow beauty blogs, Instagrams, Youtubers, etc etc etc posting their favorite fall lip products/colors, so I decided to go ahead and post mine, I decided to split it up in to two different blog posts: One for high end products, another for more affordable/drugstore products. I will also be posting reviews on each product, links to said products, and pricing as well. So without further ado, let's get this started!
Just a quick overview before I go into more detail on each product and swatch. This fall I am LOVING brown and berry toned lip products. There is just something about a rich brown or deep burgundy lip that just screams Fall to me, I also have a couple of favorite nude and pink toned lip products that I think are perfect for the fall because, let's be honest, there are days where I don't feel like rocking a burgundy or brown lip. Plus, everyone needs a good nude lip in their makeup collection just as a staple!
Nudes,Pinks, & Browns
Naughty Nude Lip Creme Color-Too Faced- (Priced at $22.00 USD)- This is a nice chestnut toned nude that I think is perfect for the fall. It's got a slight pink undertone to it, which I feel is what makes it wearable on so many skin tones. I have the hardest time finding a good nude for my skin tone(which is pale as snow) and most of the time give up because they are either too dark, or they are too light(hello,concealer lips!). I also really love the formula of this product as well. It's super creamy and very pigmented. The wear time on it is standard for a cream based lipstick, but it fades away nicely and also touches up well. Definitely a staple nude!
Rapture-Urban Decay- ( Priced at $22.00 USD)- This is a beautiful dusty rose and another favorite of mine. This is part of Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick collection(not the newer, matte collection) so it has a creamy, semi glossy finish. It goes on so smooth, the color is super pigmented, and the finish is a nice step away from the usual matte lip that seems to be a fall staple(don't let that statement fool you, I love a me a matte lip!). Again, with the formula being a creamier glossy one it doesn't have the longevity of a matte lip so you will have to touch up occasionally.
Melted Fig Liquified Long Wear Lipstick-Too Faced- (Priced at $21.00USD)- Confession time: I have an obsession with Too Faced's Melted Lipsticks. They were one of my first high end purchases and hold a very special place in my heart. Melted Fig is a gorgeous dusty rose color with a hint of purple(I swear I explain colors so much better than this usually). The formula of this product is so awesome as well. It dries to a satin finish, is easy to apply, super pigmented, and wears for a good amount of time. I also love the packaging on this product. As you can see in the photo above, it comes in a squeezable tube with an angled sponge applicator on the end. The sponge tip makes it super easy to apply without a lip liner. A little goes a long way with this product as well, so you get your money's worth, that's for sure!
Catherdral Studded Kiss Lipstick-Kat Von D- (Priced at $21.00USD)- This is a cult favorite for Kat Von D Beauty and it's very clear as to why. This color is just stunning. It's a rosy brown color and perfect for the fall. It goes on matte and stays for a super long time, is very pigmented, applies so smooth, and is not drying on the lips at all(like some matte lipsticks can be.). Plus, the packaging is super unique as well.
1995-Gerard Cosmetics- ($19.00USD)- This lip color was created by Jaclyn Hill for Gerard Cosmetics. While Jaclyn is no longer an affiliate with Gerard, the color still remains on their website and is a beautiful color. I usually am not a fan of GC's lipsticks, but the formula on this one is just amazing. The color is a brown color with red undertones. The color reminds me of the lip color that Monica Geller from Friends wore throughout the show so the name is very appropriate. It is a matte formula, but is not drying in the least and the color payoff is good as well.
Lolita Everlasting Liquid Lipstick-Kat Von D- ($20.00USD)- This is another cult favorite of the Kat Von D Beauty line and there is a good reason why. First off, Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks are the BEST(in my opinion) of the liquid lipsticks on the market right now. They apply amazing, dry very quickly, stay on all day(through eating and drinking), and aren't drying at all. Lolita, to me, is a staple for everyone's makeup collection. It's a beautiful pinky brown shade and looks great on any skin tone. Definitely a must have color!
Whirl-MAC Cosmetics- ($17.00USD)- This is a fall staple and a VERY popular lip color in the beauty world. This is what most people would describe as the "Kylie Jenner" lip color. It's a stunning brown shade and the quality is awesome(as all MAC lipsticks are), and it just applies so nicely. It is a matte finish but I don't find it too drying on the lips, though I would recommend using the Whirl lip liner along with this lipstick, as it is such a pigmented color.
Berries and Burgundies
Grandest Grape Intense Chubby Stick-Clinique- ($17.00USD)- First off, I love Chubby Sticks in any form(original or intense). I think they are just super easy to apply and reapply and are great for on the go touch ups. This color to me just screams fall time. It's a nice raspberry color and very daytime appropriate. The formula is like a balm so you do have to touch up during the day like after you eat a meal or drink a big drink. Like I said, though, super easy to reapply especially on the go. It has a balmy, glossy finish and feels so hydrating on your lips. If you are in the market for a berry toned lip, but don't want anything too dark or bold, this is a good product for you.
Aubergine Matte Creme Lip Crayon-Bite Beauty- ($24.00USD)- I love Bite Beauty products for a couple of reasons. One is their products are amazing and gluten free. Two is that they are a natural lip care company that uses food grade ingredients to create their products. Basically, you could eat your lipstick(though, I wouldn't recommend it...). Their Matte Creme Lip Crayons are where it's at though. They are so hydrating on the lips that you forget you're wearing a matte lip at all. They are waterproof as well, which means they last an extremely long time on the lips. Aubergine is a stunning eggplant color that is what I imagine a fall lip should be. The color is super pigmented, and the way the crayon is designed makes it super easy to apply this darker color without mistakes. I use it to line my lips, then go a fill in the rest of my lip after that. If there is one product you get off this whole blog post, get this one. You will not regret it!
A Good Year For Wine-Ulta- ($8.00USD)- I know a lot of people are iffy about Ulta branded products, which I can understand. However, I have to say that Ulta knows what they are doing when it comes to their lip products. A Good Year for Wine is a burgundy toned lipstick with little gold reflects throughout it. The reflects are not chunky in the least and give this lipstick a duo-chrome finish, which looks amazing! It applies so smooth for a lipstick with glitter in it, the color payoff is awesome, and you can't beat the price! You will have to touch up this lipstick during the day but it fades nicely and reapplying it is no problem!
Wolvesmouth Studded Kiss Lipstick-Kat Von D- ($21.00USD)- Wolvesmouth is another Studded Kiss lipstick that just knocks it out of the park. It's a metallic berry color that is perfect for adding a little sparkle to an evening look(or day look, you do you!). As I said before in the review on "Cathedral", it applies so well, is crazy pigmented, and lasts an extremely long time, which is very surprising as it's technically not a matte formula. Definitely a great one to have in your fall lip collection.
Stirring Matte Lip Cream-Ulta- ($9.00USD)- This lip color is what I would call the perfect fall red lip. It's a deep blood red and is just to die for(see what I did there? Funny...no...okay). I know some people have an issue with this lip product applying patchy and while it does apply a little bit patchy you can definitely work with it to make it not patchy. The formula is a creamy, mousse like texture so it's very hydrating on the lips, which is awesome for a matte lip cream. I do recommend wearing a lip liner with this one as well, just to cut down on any patchiness and to make sure the product doesn't feather on the lip line. All in all, I think it's worth a try to see if you like the formula. Plus, again, you can't beat the price!
Allusive Matte Lip Cream-Ulta- ($9.00USD)- This color, to me, is another staple fall color. It's super dark and vampy, but very wearable. It's a plum tone and like I said in the review of Stirring, can apply a bit patchy. Again I will say the formula is just so nice and you can definitely work around the patchiness of the product by lining you lips with a lip liner.
Exorcism Everlasting Liquid Lipstick-Kat Von D- ($20.00USD)- I'm just gonna go ahead and throw this out there. If I were a witch this would be the lip color I would rock all the time. It's such a dark, vampy blackberry toned lip color(though it is NOT black, just a very dark burgundy) and it just reminds me of Halloween and witches. And when does Halloween take place? In the fall! Like I said before, Kat Von D Beauty's Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks are the BEST.ON.THE.MARKET. They do not budge, crack, wear off, anything. You can eat, drink, stand in a rainstorm and your lip color will not move. I would, definitely wear a lip liner with this color though, as it is a super dark color and you don't want that bleeding onto your face and/or foundation.
I hope ya'll enjoyed this super long post! My post with my drugstore/affordable fall lip products will be up in a few days! Once again, thank you for checking out my blog and don't forget to comment letting me know what some of your favorite fall lip products are!
