Hello all of you sweethearts out there,
It's that time of the week again, and this week I'm bringing you another review blog. In my head, I wanted to pick my one favourite lipstick and spend a few lines raving about how amazing it was and how I never stopped wearing it. But in reality, I can never choose between three, and I couldn't choose for the blog either...so I figured...why not write about ALL THREE?!
So here they are; my top 3 lipsticks for this Fall and Winter. Before I go into the details of each one,
I'll first tell you why I chose these three instead of some others;
Firstly... they're all matte. I am obsessed with matte lipsticks. I'm not a huge lipstick fan, or at least, never used to be, until I started discovering matte lipsticks. I've never really been one for shiny, shimmery, glitzy make-up, and especially for every day when I have to get up early and go to work, shimmery just doesn't work for me. So something matte works perfectly!
Secondly, the colours are so intense! Lately, I've really been getting into bright coloured lipsticks. I have to admit, wearing bright lipstick does take some confidence - wearing bright reds and purples, which have come into fashion only in the last few months, really does turn heads.
Thirdly, they are all long lasting. I am not one to reapply my lipstick throughout the day/night. I tend to be running in and out of meetings all day, sipping coffee mugs, eating lunch, and doing a lot of a talking - I just don't have the time to always reapply my lipstick. These three stay put and barely fade in colour - a must have for all of you busy people out there!
So let's get to those individual reviews. And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you'd like to purchase any of these lipsticks, I have put links to the online shops for each brand so you can find them easily :)

Heroine - M.A.C Cosmetics
Electric and bold. Nothing beats this insanely powerful purple lipstick. The first of its kind that I have tried, and I couldn't be happier. You've probably seen me wear this colour already in my Autumn Edge blog from a few weeks back. Purple is really in right now for Fall and Winter, but this one is perfect for when you're wanting that extra little kick - make it bolder and brighter to stand out from the crowd, because believe me...this lipstick will turn heads!
Although it dries matte, the application of this lipstick is so creamy. It glides on and barely takes re-application to intensify the colour. The size is perfect for quick application; not too big and not too small.
One thing that is a little disappointing is that it can dry your lips out a little when it starts to come off. Although it is long lasting, the top purple layer will come off and will leave a pinkish-purpleish stain on your lips -- a completely different colour but still absolutely beautiful! However, it can be quite drying, so I suggest keeping some lip balm handy to just apply when the colour starts to fade.

Wine and Forever - Maybelline New York
SuperStay 14H Lipstick
This deep purple lipstick is perfect for this Fall and Winter. Although it may not seem like an everyday colour, I love wearing it as one for work. A simple black and white/cream based outfit, a nude eye, bronzy contouring and this lipstick - BOOM!
My absolute favourite thing about this lipstick is that it stays creamy throughout the day. It is super long-lasting, as the name gives away (although 14 hours is a little bit of an over estimation), but never dries out. I've used this lipstick for a few months now and it never gets boring.
The only "issue" with this lipstick is that it does take a few applications to get the intensity in the colour that I like, but that's fine by me. I love just feeling how creamy and smooth it is on my lips - so no issues there.
Be careful though..you may get some on your teeth ;) And believe me..it's as unattractive as it sounds!

Ravishing Rouge - Maybelline New York
SuperStay 14H Lipstick
The purest red colour I have ever had from a lipstick. Nothing beats this colour - it's POPPIN'!
No but really, definitely a must-have in every make-up collection. And if you're going for a red, you might as well go for the long-lasting version - because you never want this baby to fade.
This lipstick behaves pretty much in the same way as Wine and Forever, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to apply as smoothly or is as creamy. It's still on my top 3 list, but I was surprised that it wasn't as "easy going" as Wine and Forever. Perhaps it has something to do with the pigmentation - which by the way, has no flaws! This colour is as intense as it looks in the photo!
