Kate Moss Lipsticks

I have been admiring these lipsticks for a while so decided to delve in and purchase one of these goodies as i've been hearing and reading great reviews about the Kate Moss collection.  

I was particularly drawn to the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte collection as I love the creaminess of matte lipsticks. Now, I know matte lipsticks can be a bit hit and miss as they can emphasise dryness along with imperfections, but these products do the opposite! They are super soft with a velvet feel, highly pigmented and once applied, leave a fresh clean finish. Perfect!

I decided to purchase the beautiful 107 shade and i'm so pleased I put this little gem in my basket. It is a deep cherry red which leaves your lips looking bold and eye-catching. I admit, I was a tad weary about wearing such a rich shade, but I really do love it. It adds a touch of glam to your make-up, compliments a fair skin tone and is a perfect colour for AW13.

The swatch above is a true match when applied to your lips and leaves an opaque finish in just one swipe. It has a lightweight feel so it doesn't leave your lips feeling sticky and includes Ruby Powder which works to maximise colour intensity.

I would recommend using a lip pencil when wearing this shade as it can be a little smudgy during application, but all in all I am very pleased I took the plunge and added this shade to my ever-expanding lipstick collection. It smells fruity (a mixture of berries and watermelon-yum!) and it lasts a good four hours before having to re-apply. If your a newbie to trying out rich dark lip shades, then I would make this beauty your first red-lipstick purchase, with a price tag of £5.49, you can treat yourself without feeling too bad for your purse.

I'd love to know what you think of this shade? Have you tried any Kate Moss lipsticks? 

Very Berry

At the moment I just can't get enough of the colour berry and i've been crushing on anything and everything in this wonderful shade. 

As autumn is vast approaching, the new Autumn/Winter fashion lines are being released and I have a feeling this vibrant colour will be right on trend this season. 

Don't get me wrong, I have been loving the bright colours of summer; give me mint and coral shades any day, but I am actually quite excited to start investing in some warm autumn colours (we're now in September after all).

My first item on my berry-crush list has to be this beautiful Topshop Berry Edge Paint Satchel. As soon as I layed eyes on this little beauty, I just had to have it, so it's definitely going in my shopping basket!

Next on my list are a pair of these gorgeous slipper shoes from ASOS, which are a bargain for £22! I think they would look lovely teamed with a pair of thick black tights-perfect for Autumn! 

A tartan skirt has been high on my wish-list since forever! Unfortunately I didn't manage to find a design which suited me last year; either to long (i'm a tad short at 5"1) or the wrong shape, but my prayers were answered when I discovered this Miss Selfridge Magenta Skirt. 

Although the colour isn't a typical berry shade, it's close enough for me! This would look lovely with a white knitted jumper and black patent shoes.

Channelling my love for nail polishes, I added another Barry M nail paint to my ever expanding collection. For only £2.99, I can't get enough of these little gem's and seeing as i'm going through a berry-trend at the moment, this Raspberry colour fitted the bill perfectly!

So there you have it, my new favourite colour at the moment and my top picks. The great thing about the colour berry is how it comes in a variety of different shades. Team this colour with light greys, creams, bottle greens and white for an on-trend look!

What do you think of my fashion finds and what colour will you be crushing on this autumn?
