Autumnal Shades

Hola! I haven't blogged in while but i have taken a vow to blog as often as i can... With the rush of life and mounds of college work building up it's my little outlet to relax and enjoy.

I feel this is an obligatory Autumn post but i'm always interested in the shades of lippy people chose to accompany their wardrobe in this season. Well, finally after quite a few failed purchases I've found 'the one'(s), also considering i'm a picky person i feel this is quite the accomplishment!
Left: Lip Bullet Right: Rimmel 107

This matte deep and rich purple 'Lip Bullet' by Topshop looks perfect on my rather pale complexion to. I find often that when a shade is to dark for me it totally bleaches me out and looks painted on, that is not a look i aim for really. This lipstick is rather out there for me as i normally opt for more subtle lipstick's/balms but make ups all about the 'dare to wear' factor sometimes right? I really recommend this shade to the people who have a skin tone similar to vampires just like me. I'm surely going to match this with some subtle rosy cheeks and maybe test it with MAC Woodwinked which is just an antique gold color; there will be lots of dupes knocking around. 

My second Autumn shade I've forever been in love since last winter with is the Classic Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107. Unlike the other it leans towards the red side. This color matches almost any Autumn themed outfit and always makes you look, in a way, 'put together'. This elegant shade is a rather glamorous deep red and again suits my skin tone. The only fault really is that as it is matte it's rather dry, but not much if you have well prepped moisturised lips before applying.
