Currently the weather out side is awful, with super chilly temperatures and a foot of snow on the ground, all I seem to want to do it lay about the house all day. Which means I have spent most of my day tucked away under the covers reading George R.R. Martins, A Dance With Dragons. If you haven't read any of the series, go, run, buy the books! Winter is definitely coming for the heroes and villains alike in the tale and it is most certainly upon my little city now. So with the intention of not completely wasting away the day reading, I figure why not tell you all a little about my two current winter lip favorites!
I've been loving the dark lip look, especially with a beautiful matte finish. I have heard plenty of good reviews about both of these products and I most certainly recommend them myself!
First up is MAC's Velvet Teddy, a gorgeous soft brown color. I picked this up recently and I admit at first I thought my pale skin and this color would not be friends. But I must say, I was mistaken. I love the formula, it last and last I rarely have to reapply. It never feathers or smudges which is blessing! On me this is a dark but still quite natural shade, with a bit of a 90's feel (I'm pretty sure my sister owned a shade similar to this back it the day). This is the first MAC lipstick I've ever used and I'm sold!
Next up is the amazing Rimmel London, Lasting Finish by Kate in the shade 107 (I actually have a few colors from this line-all of them are amazing). This product was on the cheap end but holds it's own against the MAC formula. It's a dark vampy red and I feel ridiculously sexy when I have this product on. No bleeding, not feathering. I apple this over a red lip pencil just to really make it pop.
What winter lip shade are you rocking this season?
