Fall 2014 Lippies

Fall is a great time to experiment with vampy lip colors.  I love going through my makeup stash and replacing summer colors with fall colors.  Don't get me wrong, there are no rules to makeup.  A change of season shouldn't force you to put away your favorite shades, but should give you a chance to try out new ones.  I love berry lips, vampy lips, nude lips, and pink lips in the fall.  I would love to head to Sephora and try out all of their new formulas, colors, and brands- unfortunately, my bank account would prefer that I didn't :( These lippies have great formulas, but are all under $10. I swatched a couple of colors I just purchased for fall.  I have used them all and love their different formulas and colors.  I will go more into depth with how I use these colors in my makeup looks and what the formula and consistency is like.

 If you have ever read my blog before you would know that I absolutely love the NYX Butter Glosses.  They taste great, are opaque, have a great color selection, and are vert affordable.  I get mine at Ulta, but Target is starting to carry them as well.  This particular color is a dark berry color.  You can layer it to create a bold lip, or use it sparingly to give you a nice wash of color.  I love this with a smoky eye if I am going all out, or with a cat eye if I want more attention on my lips.  

 Maybelline Lipsticks are a new favorite of mine.  I don't love the taste/smell, but I do love the color payoff.  The entire Maybelline Sensational Matte line is fabulous!  They have a great color selection and can be found for under $6 at Target.  They are quite a bit more at other locations.  Lust for Blush is a muted fuchsia color that will allow you to add a little bit of a punch to your fall look.  They are not drying, which I absolutely love.  If you don't like a matte look, top them with a gloss for added shine and moisture.

This may be my favorite of them all.  The color Prague is a berry/pink matte lip cream.  it is not drying and has wonderful color payoff.  This is the most long-wearing lippies of all of the ones listed here on my page.  I find that I do not need to reapply for hours.  I put a balm on before applying it and my lips do not peel or get dry at all.  The color makes my lips look nice and full and it adds a fun punch of color to my makeup.  You can top this with a gloss, but I love the matte look it gives.  I tend to wear a very neutral eye without liner and a heavy-handed highlight with this look.  It makes my face look bright and well-rested.  These are under $6 at Ulta and some Target stores.

The new NYX Simply Nude Lip Creams were released this fall at Ulta.  They have a great color selection and have testers out.  I have tons of nudes in my collection, but I needed a new nude for fall.  This is a cream, but not incredibly long-lasting.  It gives great color payoff, but I do find myself reapplying quite often.  I like to put this over a lip liner and I find that doing that extends the wear of this lip cream.  This nude has a peachy undertone which is very different from my normal pinky nudes.  If this color doesn't suit you, make sure to check out the rest of their Simply Nude collection.  


The NYX Simply Vamp Lip Cream selection is great for those of you that want to try a vampy look, but want to swatch the colors first.  Ulta has testers out and offers numerous color options within this collection.  There were many shades I wanted, but were not restocked at that time.  I find this one to stain a bit, so it is a bit longer wearing than the Simply Nude collection.  Some of the shades have glitter, but most are a satin finish that is not too drying.  I love that I can wear this alone or top it with a gloss for an entirely different look.  Check this collection out-you will not be disappointed!

I hope that some of these lip items caught your attention for fall.  They are super affordable and great products!  Let me know if you have any questions or if there are any other products you would like me to review!
