This Revlon Balm Stain in Crush is really easy to wear. It's not too dark and is really moisturising and pepperminty. I really like it for layering under darker glosses, it's amazing with Illamasqua's Boost. £7.99

| Topshop Lip Cream in Lotus Flower |
This is Topshop's Lip Cream in Lotus Flower. I probably shouldn't include this as it is no longer available although a similar product is their Lip Varnish or Lip Paints. This swatch doesn't do the product justice; in person it's looks more purple with a fuchsia metallic sheen. I tend to get compliments when I wear this. It's beautiful over a darker lipstick. The initial finish lasts about 2-3 hours on me and then leaves a deep pink stain. I think it was £8 or £9. I have seen it on Ebay a few times so worth checking out.

| Collection Gothic Glam in 3 Revenge |
This gem was part of Collection's Gothic Glam collection last a/w. I don't think it can be found in stores any more but I just found it here on amazon. Revenge is a dark red. It has a satin finish and lasts about 4 hours on me. £2.99

| Maybelline The Elixir in Caviar Couture |
Maybelline's Elxirs have just launched in the UK, months and months after their US release. I was impatient and bought a few on Ebay a while back. Caviar Couture didn't make it to the UK unfortunately but can be bought here. It's a dark purpley red with a bit of shimmer. It doesn't feel sticky and lasts about 2 hours. £6.99
 |
| Sleek Mulberry |
This was one of my favourite colours last winter. Sleek's Mulberry is a blackened purple with a satin finish. As you can see it can be a bit streaky so I would recommend a lip liner used all over underneath. A great, cheap, alternative to my number 10 in this list. £4.99
 |
| Urban Decay Revolution lipstick in Venom |
I absolutely love the formulation of Urban Decay's Revolution lipsticks (post on them coming soon!) It's opaque and creamy, very comfortable to wear. Venom is described as a 'bright plum' and I would say that's about right, a perfect mix of purple and pink. UD sell a lip liner to match which I don't own (yet) but I like it with MAC Cranberry liner. It can last up to 6 hours on me. £15
 |
| OCC Lip Tar in Black Dahlia |
This and the next shade are two OCC Lip Tar favourites. Black Dahlia is a dark pinky red, although not a dark as it looks in the tube. It isn't as opaque and creamy as some of their other matte colours and really benefits from a clear liner to prevent the colour bleeding. This used to be a special nights out colour for me but now I love it for every day. £12
 |
| OCC Lip Tar in Black Metal Dahlia |
Black Metal Dahlia is the metallic counterpart to the previous colour. I think it's a bit warmer in base colour, more burgundy, and also contains red shimmer. It last really well and leaves a stain. £12
 |
| Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick in Vampette |
Vampette is one of Illamasqua's new Glamore lipsticks, which are more creamy than their matte formula. It's a satin so not as long-lasting but a lip liner can fix that. This is a blackened red that I really like to pair with a no-makeup-makeup kind of eye or just liner. £18.50
 |
| MAC Cyber |
Cyber is a Satin finish from MAC. It's a blackened purple, very similar in colour to Mulberry. It has a thicker consistency though so lasts longer. It's perfect with Nightmoth liner and, while I love it alone, also looks good with a purple gloss like Funtabulous. £15.50
What are your favourite lip colours for Autumn/Fall? Do you like the look of any of these?
