Hey guys! Recently, I've been getting super into lipsticks and is there a better lipstick season than autumn? I think it's time to bring out my vampy reds and purples as well as my holy grail nudes! Want to find out my favorite Autumn shades of solid lipstick? Click the 'Read More' button!

Left to Right: MAC Velvet Teddy (it looks a lot more orange, for some reason!), Studded Kiss, Verve and Stone. Velvet Teddy, Studded Kiss and Stone have a matte finish and Verve has a satin finish. They are all £15.50 each.
I love MAC lipsticks and becoming quite the collector, with currently 8 lipsticks and a lot more on the wishlist! Although I reach for the matte formulas the most, I find that they're drying, but nothing unbearable, are extremely pigmented and last well! My only small bug-bear with these lipsticks is I find that they don't wear too nicely throughout the day and end up leaving a line on my inner lip and fade in some areas and leave others darker! Also, I had to splurge and buy the 'Stone' lipliner to go with the lipstick as it's near impossible to find a matching lipliner- my bank balance was not happy...

Left to Right: Lancome L'Absolu Rouge, Shade 6 (£23.50)
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, Shade 671- Minx (£7.99)
Belaton Colourzone Lipstick, Shade 46 (1,16€)
I love all of these lipsticks equally! Unlike my MAC lipsticks, these all have a glossy finish- which is a nice change for my dried out lips!
I don't know whether they still stock the Lancome Lipstick as I got it a little while ago, but it's a beautiful, medium toned pinky-red! While it doesn't stay on for an incredible amount of time, it does wear really nicely through the day and topping it up isn't a huge issue. However, for such a small quantity of lipstick, I don't know whether I would pay £23.50 again!
The Revlon lipstick has been a recent addition to my collection and boy oh boy am I in love with it! It's the perfect creamy, medium toned nude. For all you MAC junkies out there, it's a bit deeper and darker than Velvet Teddy and is very similar to Whirl- but with a different finish and a fraction of the price! I have no bad words about this lipstick at the moment!
Finally, we have my beloved, 1 euro, Kylie Lip Kit 'Reign' dupe! As with the Lance lipstick, I can't say this one lasts a great deal of time at all, but it's such a gorgeous and unique shade for the drugstore that I don't mind topping it up. I don't think you can get these in the UK, but if you ever find a Belaton counter in Europe... make sure to give these a swatch!
