I've noticed a lot of people posting their 'Winter Lipsticks' and I thought I'd do something a bit similar. I don't really use lipstick that much, but I've gone all out and bought 2 new lipsticks (ooh) and I'm using lipstick a lot more this winter so that's something new for me to explore.
The Rimmel Kate Matte 113 lipstick I bought back at the end of summer, and if I'm wearing eyeliner I tend not to go for anything on my lips. This lipstick has just kind of helped me get out of not using anything, but doesn't draw away attention from my eyes. I have been wearing eyeliner a lot less though, because I'm finding it a bit too much with everything else is already so dark - sob.
Then I dragged my boyfriend to Superdrug where I bought my other Rimmel lipstick, but forgot my student card so couldn't get discount - sigh.
This one is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Drop Of Sherry 058. I sort of wanted to buy a Rimmel lipstick that wasn't from the Kate collection because I bought a few over the summer, and this one looked quite similar to a shade I did find in the collection, but I actually preferred the look of this one. I actually like it a lot more than I thought I would. It's a sort of dark pinky/red colour, that can sort of look like a dark pinky/brown when on. I have an awkward skin tone that's really pale, but not pale enough to suit bright reds and I definitely don't suit browns, but this mixture is a subtle enough combination that I think (hope) looks okay ha!
I don't know why but I also find it stays on a lot better than my matte lipstick, but that might just be me and my weird lips.
The last lipstick I got I ordered from Avon. The shade is Plum Intrigue. I reaaaaaally wanted to get a purple-y shade lipstick, but as I mentioned, awkward skin tone restricts me to what I can get. This lipstick is quite dark (for me) when I first put it on but it actually rubs away really quickly so once I've fully done my lips it's a bit lighter than when I start, but I actually prefer it - I actually think it's my favourite overall shade.
All in all this winter, I've pretty much stuck to no eyeliner, not too dark eyes, and the Plum Intrigue and Drop Of Sherry lipsticks.
Have you tried any of these lipsticks? Did you get on well with them? What lipsticks are your 'go-to' this winter?
Let me know!
