Autumn is certainly our favourite when it comes to seasons.
The makeup looks, the styles, the fallen leaves...
But the bold lip will always reappear.

My autumnal lipstick of choice is Miss Sporty Perfect Color Lipstick in Sweet Berry. I really like this colour once it is applied to the lips - it creates a bold red-pink berry colour that goes well with pretty much anything you're wearing, especially if its black. I do love how bold it is although you do have to be careful that you don't put on too much and that you blot as, initially, it can come off quite easily. I find that on me it lasts most of the day but you would definitely have to apply it again if you were going out in the evening. However, it is not the easiest of lipsticks to apply as it goes on very smoothly so is easy to smudge. I would recommend using a lip pencil to outline your lips first although it can be hard to find the right shade - I am yet to find one.
My new favourite lipgloss for autumn - and new favourite lipgloss in general - is the Rimmel Provocalips Kiss Proof Lip Colour in Kiss Fatal. This is most definitely the best lipgloss I have used. Ever. There are three easy steps of application: step 1 - apply the colour lipgloss, step 2 - keep your lips apart for one minute (basically do a bit of pouting!) to let the colour sink in and step 3 - apply a layer of the clear gloss over the top to add shine and lock in colour and voila you have a long-lasting bold lip colour. There were a couple of things that really amazed me about this lipgloss. Firstly, normally if you apply a clear gloss over another colour some of the colour comes off on the wand which is very frustrating but with this, none of the colour came off at all. I've already used this quite a lot and as you can see from the picture below the wand is still completely clean. Also, it is advertised as lasting for 16 hours. I have to admit that I never really believe that lipglosses can last that long but I have been proven wrong this time. I was amazed when I looked in the mirror at the end of the day to see that the colour looked just as bold as it had done when I had applied it a good 12 hours before. It really is the best thing I have put on my lips and I would definitely recommend it.
I couldn't resist the pull of the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks any longer. I got the shade 30 and am mega impressed!
I love how the colour is so intense and lasts. Its amazing. I think its best to line your lips before using such a dark colour as this - I use a lip brush and just take a little straight from the bullet. This helps you define the shape as well which is better for richer colours.

My choice of lip gloss is from Accessorize. It's the darkest shade of the three in the multi pack but all of them can be suited to any time of year really.
What's your choice this autumn?
