| I made a whoops, sorry, I thought I was using my Jordana lipliner in the swatch 3rd from left which is actually Prestige 06 nude |
These are the shades I've decided to rock into Fall and Winter!
I've been SO excited for Fall to roll around. I got tired of sweating off my makeup oh - back in July. But FINALLY, the leaves have started tumbling down in my yard, which means I'll be able to rock my long sleeves and mom jeans comfortably for the next few months. The above shades are the ones I'll most likely pair with those comfy mom jeans.

The History of Whoo Gongjinhyang Mi Luxury Gloss SPF 10 in 15 Rose
Oh haaai, remember when I said that it's impossible to get this lip gloss because it was all annoyingly limited edition and hard to get a hold of? Guess what! Koreadepart stocks this gloss! It's listed for $36.17 which yeah, is a bit spendy, but the packaging is unreal and the gloss itself is pretty sweet. It's not sticky whatsoever and not in the way a NYX butter gloss is "not sticky". Compared to this gloss, a NYX butter gloss would be considered sticky! Back to this gloss - the color is a bright medium pink and it's got medium pigmentation. This is how 1-2 coats looks on my lips. My lips are not pigmented whatsoever, in case you're wondering. With more coats, the gloss can look pretty bright! Below is how it looks built up.
Color - clear bright pink gloss
Formula - it's got a medium amount of pigment that is buildable, not sticky! Moisturizes your lips.
Lasting Power - about 2 hours
Scent - not scented
Worth it? Well, if you're easily seduced by packaging, yes. It's not that much more than a Chanel Glossimer, which by the way is kind of sticky.
Where to Buy - $36.17 at Koreadepart
Memebox I'm Meme I'm Lipstick in Charlotte BC010*
This shade is called Charlotte. I absolutely love this lipstick for a really natural looking gradient lip. You know I love the color because it's really similar to one of my favorite lipsticks, Sweet Impact from 3 Concept Eyes. It's just a little less neon, deeper, and less matte. So here's the rundown.
Color - medium pink coral
Formula - can be worn semi-matte or glossy if built up, fully pigmented at first swipe, formula is a lot like Maybelline's only a bit softer, non-drying
Lasting Power - average, 3-4 hours ish
Scent - I didn't smell anything
Worth it? They're on sale for $7 right now, down from $16. I'd say they're definitely worth it at this price!
Where to Buy - At Memebox.com where you can get $3 off a $30+ order with code XOXO3

| Sorry about the lighting, and the hair. Just sorry! :*( The color is just a hair darker than this. CWIDT? |
I've been using and repurchasing this high-quality for the price lip liner from Prestige for almost 2 years now. I always come back to it! It's what I reach for when I need something that's transfer-proof. It sets on your lips and won't budge all day.
Color - brown nude
Formula - it's completely matte, and sticks to your lips all day
Lasting Power - 6-8 hours, I really mean all day!
Scent - not scented
Worth it? They're always less than $5 and you can use them on their own, to cheat a more perfect lip line, or under glossy, slide-y lipsticks. It's also retractable. Mic drop. This is a resounding yes!
Where to Buy - $4.24 at Amazon, ~$5 at the drugstore
Memebox I'm Meme I'm Lipstick in Bliss Red BC001*
Bliss Red is a gorgeous cool toned red mixed in with a little bit of pink. I absolutely adore this color, it's everything I wanted Revlon Cherries in the Snow to be. The fact that there's a bit more red than pink makes it work for my warm coloring.
Color - pinky blue-toned red
Formula - can be worn semi-matte or glossy if built up, fully pigmented at first swipe, formula is a lot like Maybelline's only a bit softer, non-drying
Lasting Power - average, 3-4 hours ish
Scent - I didn't smell anything
Worth it? They're on sale for $7 right now, down from $16. I'd say they're definitely worth it at this price!

Memebox I'm Meme I'm Lipstick in Red High Heels MT001*
The fact that I have Red High Heels is saving me money because I'd stuck "glossy blue-toned red" onto my wishlist ages ago. I had been planning to pick up MAC Red to fill this spot on the roster, but Red High Heels is close enough for me. I can't wait to wear this over the holidays! It's the total opposite of Nars Cruella as it's kind of fussy since it's not matte, but for a color this gorgeous, I'll deal.
Color - glossy tomato red
Formula - this goes on fully pigmented and fully glossy at first swipe, the formula is actually softer and glossier than the other I'm Meme lipsticks, non-drying like the rest
Lasting Power - because it's a red, even if the lasting power is about 3-4 hours, I'd probably check on it and fix it every 2 hours
Scent - I didn't smell anything
Worth it? They're on sale for $7 right now, down from $16. I'd say they're definitely worth it at this price!

3 Concept Eyes Lipstick in 603 Burnt Red
 |
| Top left-hand corner look achieved by just tapping the lipstick lightly onto the lips, it's how I usually wear this color |
You know how you sleep on some purchases, and if you keep thinking about it for a few days/weeks/months, you know you should get it? Yeah, that's what happened here. I saw this at Stylenanda and knew it would be mine at some point in time. They call it a "baroque burgundy", (so romaaaantic) and recommend it for when you're in a classy mood. :3
Color - maroon purple
Formula - So you know I love the 3 Concept Eyes Creamy Lip Color formula AND the Matte formula... This formula is right in the middle. It's semi-matte and when built up looks glossy. It's also super comfortable to wear. The only thing is it doesn't apply that evenly which happens with darker colors. I like the color enough to forgive that. This lipstick is also non-drying.
Lasting Power - Average 3-4 hours
Scent - No smell
Worth it? 3 Concept Eyes lipsticks are always worth it in my eyes. I love their colors and their formulas don't leave you hanging either.
Where to Buy - <$17.90 at TesterKorea or $20 at the official Stylenanda website
Etude House Dear My Lips Wish Talk in RD302 Runway Burgundy

| Again the color is just a sliver darker than this. |
So this is the lipstick that won the Get It Beauty (Korean network television show) award for best lipstick formula earlier this year. I have to say, I'm kind of confused as to why? I think it's nice for sure, but it's also extremely glossy and the shape of the lipstick bullet makes it tough to get nice, crisp lines without using a lip brush.
Color - burgundy wine shade. I was kind of trying to find a Revlon Black Cherry dupe that wasn't streaky. This one is a little better but not as dark, and there's less purple in the shade.
Formula - It's glossy and pigmented, non-drying
Lasting Power - Average 3-4 hours
Scent - No smell
Worth it? For the price, I wouldn't be disappointed with this one, but just make sure you don't mind using a lip brush, or you're not planning on using it to get crisp lines. Maybe you're more of a gradient lip color fan?
Where to Buy - $10.87 at Amazon, $12.40 at Etude House
Do you have any shades you like to pull out more often in the Fall? What about in Winter?
