Autumnal beauty tones

So, I have finally got round to writing my first exclusively autumnal post, and a new beauty post. Phew! And what better place to start than with the colour of the season, or should I say colours. As soon as the weather changes so does everyones colours of choice, and in this post I am going to share you a few of my favourite autumnal-toned products, mostly lips (that must say alot) at all different levels of the berry/plum-ness scale. 



What better place to start than at the less bold level. This would occupy the ‘I’m slowly breaking myself into the autumn beauty season’ realm. I love Kate Moss’s lipstick range, its price point and quality of product are simply unrivalled in my opinion, it also gets extra points for being super easy to get hold of. For this post though I am going to specifically talk about Kate Moss 'number 5'. I love this colour and combined with the 1000 kisses 'Indian Pink' lip liner, also by Rimmel, it finishes off the lip look perfectly and will stay in place all day. I can’t completely verify that it will last for 1000 kisses, so you may need to check this out for yourself. But if eating burgers is more your thing then the liner is perfect. 


Why don’t we move onto eyes, before finishing with full on plum lips! For eyes I absolutely adore the Maybelline Colour Tattoo Cream eyeshadow in ‘Metalic Pomegranate’,I am fully aware that Colour Tattoos have had internet ‘hype’ for the longest time now. But on my quest to find the perfect berry / plum toned eyeshadow, this is all I could find. It simply lasts for the longest time and has an amazing metallic finish, perfect for the party season! I also love the Rimmel Magnif'eyes Eyeshadow Palette in ‘Grunge Glamour’, it has an amazing selection of colours, including the red toned one. If you are on a budget but are looking for an all round amazing eyeshadow palette, go give this one a swatch.

Top-Bottom: Sloane's Plum, Dark Berry, Kate Moss No5

Onto (in my humble opinion) the best part, the heat I will call ‘proper plum’ lipsticks. I have two here, both drugstore, both amazing. The first is No7’s Match Made Stay Perfect lipstick in 'Dark Berry'. I got this then my mum had a voucher for a free No7 lipstick, as the were promoting their skin match service, unlike the adverts to my disappointment there was no nifty machine telling you what skin tone you were, instead there were paint swatch-like pieces of paper, to cut a long story short , after consulting the swatch it gave three recommendations and dark berry was one of them. This lipstick does exactly what it says on the tin and is a dark glossy berry. Caution though, in my experience it does like to smudge.

By far my favourite autumnal lipstick has to be Rimmel London’s 'Sloane’s Plum', it is just gorgeous. It has amazing colour pay off and stays for a good amount of time. And when it does fade, it doesn’t fade in a patchy way. I found this little gem last year and I still honestly love it today and was waiting eagerly to crack it out again. I could not recommend this lipstick enough.


I hope you have enjoyed this post, please do leave me any of your favourite autumnal themed makeup products. Although it is almost Christmas, so time to bring out those letterbox reds

Thank you so much for reading,
(there may be a bonus post this week to make up for the lack of posts last week, so stay tuned).
