One of my New Years Resolutions was to begin wearing more of my lipsticks. I always stick to the same shades and I rarely step out of my comfort zone. So whilst I was shopping my stash, I decided to share some of my favourite berry shades that I plan on wearing more in 2016.
Who said summer had to be all pinks and nudes? Berry shades look stunning on most skin-tones and suit practically everyone. They really give your look a real pop; but can be a tad intimidating to wear. These five shades are my go-to berry shades. Easy to wear, easy to apply and not too out there.
NYX Intense Butter Gloss in Spice Cake, Rimmel London Apocalips Matte in Meteoric Matte*, Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick in Berry Much, Face of Australia Glossy Lip Crayon in Berry Brulee, Rimmel London Provocalips in Kiss Fatal*
All of the lip products are easy to buy in Australia and are relatively inexpensive. I decided on a range of different berries to suit everyone and every occasion. I honestly can't pick a favourite out of the five.

Some of these shades may not be true "berry" shades, but I consider them berry so oh well. I love the finish of Spice Cake as it remains so glossy and bright, yet isn't sticky whatsoever. I found the most pigmented and long lasting was Berry Much. The easiest to apply as it was on the sheerer side was Berry Brulee.

I fail at lip swatches - sorry about that. My favourite to wear on an every day basis would be either Spice Cake or Berry Much. But all the colours in general are beautiful and must-haves in my opinion.

yessss, gunna add it to my resolutions list to try and wear more of my lipsticks out. I get so excited when I buy new colours but I rarely wear them out during the day time ._.
ReplyDeleteThe maybelline & apocalips ones are the colours I usually gravitate towards, although have yet to try out any of the matte apocalips range.

Ooooh, I LOVE Berry Much in your swatch! I've been meaning to grab it, but I just haven't had time, and although it's rather inexpensive, money too! Haha, I do own Rimmel's and FOA's shade though. Tried them, but still prefer my pinks and corals for summer! Hoping to rock them during upcoming Autumn though..
ReplyDeleteYou're crazy - your swatches are great! I love those shades, but I've been reaching for the brighter shades recently.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of Kiss Fatal but I guess maybe it's more neutral for me. I'm a pinks and berry girl at heart so I love rocking these all year round :)

So many gorgeous colours!!! I love the Ulta3 lipstick called Sweet Currant. It's such a wearable berry colour.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh totally in love with that last one - and totally not something I'd pick up in the shops (although I'm going to have to next time I'm in priceline!) xo

It's probably the least "berry" one and to me the least intimidating haha! It's such a pretty colour you should definitely go check it out! xx
ReplyDeleteOhhh I'll have to check that one out! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the easiest one to wear :D xx
ReplyDeleteOops sorry hahaha! xx
ReplyDeleteKiss Fatal is definitely the least berry out of them, but I wanted to chuck something in that was a little less intimidating haha. I'm a pinks and nudes girl usually so this is a bit out of my usual comfort zone but I'm committed to going berry! haha xx
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you Leah haha! Me too I'm really trying to get out of my comfort zone! xx
ReplyDeleteBerry Much is such a gorgeous shade, I had no idea it would be so beautiful when I picked it up! I know what you mean, I'm usually a nudes/pinks kinda girl but I wanna get out of my comfort zone haha! But these are great for autumn too ;) xx
ReplyDeleteYayyyy! I'm the same and that's definitely going to change this year! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was so impressed with the Maybelline one - it has to be one of my new favourites! xx
