Autumnal Berry Lip

This was nearly titled...yet another berry lipstick post.

I know there are lots flying about at the moment but I am loving them for Autumn. 

Be assured when payday comes about I will be whole heatedly be found in Boots stocking up my berry lipstick collection.

Now this is a colour I picked up a few weeks ago.

I love its colour, the almost-lipgloss-like finish and the packaging.

For someone who openly admits to having lipstick issues I really don't spend too much of my money on high street lipsticks. 

If its bold and bright Ill be heading towards the MAC counter in a shot. 

In a way I am kicking myself a little at my somewhat lipstick-related narrow minded thinking.

This calibre falls into the "wearable" category of berry lipsticks.

It hints at statement without being too over bearing and shys away from that berry lip your Nana would faithfully wear regardless of season or occasion.

I am building the courage to rock this shade in the office- only through lack of enthusiasm of the whole reapplication-in-the-office-thing more than anything else.

If you wish to see what it looks like on have a look at my Estee Lauder foundations review- I'm wearing it there

I think when swatched it comes across much more pink toned which I like.

Amethyst Shimmer is available at Boots

If you are into a matt finish Amethyst Shimmer is also available within Rimmels Lasting finish range

Safe to say I will be swinging by the moisture renew Rimmel counter very soon.

What is your favourite berry lipstick shade?

OOTD: I Told You It Was Transitional.

Hello All.

Its been a very mixed day hasn't it? Showers one moment sunshine the next.

Today I nipped to what I call the' cheapy shop's and explored a treasure trove of goodies. I was only after a basket but I was enticed by some other bargains while I was there. I then nipped to Starbucks with a friend of mine and we sat and chugged our 5 litres of Cappuccino and hot choc whilst nattering the afternoon away....please don't be persuaded into thinking this is my usual Wednesday afternoon, I assure you this is my week of freedom before turning that metaphorical page of in a new chapter in my working life (aka 'Big Girl Job').....eek!

The reasoning behind this title is I have worn this skirt in my last OOTD. It was the end of August and I was proclaiming how transitional the skirt was. Well here is the proof.  The ensemble is what I can only describe as Keep It Simple Stupid. My leather jacket and leggings keep me snug and warm whilst my scarf and skirt keep the outfit girly. Its also wonderfully comfortable.
 

You may have noticed I am completely embracing the vamp berry lip Autumn trend courtesy of Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in 260 Amethyst Shimmer with a light glossing from Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in 108 No Regrets. My nails consist of a leopard print stickers from Primark. Now I applied these last night with very little hope they would last so long. I must admit I have really been enjoying them on my nails and at £1 I will bear them in mind for future nights out- theirs a great choice of designs and their fool proof to apply....bliss.

The scarf I'm wearing has much sentimental value as its from Ibiza. Anyone ever heard of Zoo Project? In essence its a party at an abandoned Zoo where all involved dress as animals. Much fun is to be had I promise.

What Im wearing:

Jacket: Topshop Boutique Via Ebay

Scarf: Ibiza, Similar Here

Grey Speckle Jersey Vest: Topshop

Grey Jesrsey Skirt: Topshop

Cross Pendant: Topshop

Hope your all enjoying your week- Its nearly Friday!
