For some reason, I'm crazy excided for fall this year. Usually I would be sitting in the corner and mourning the best season of them all - summer, duh - but not this time around! I'm actually looking forward to foggy crisp mornings, hot sugary drinks, cozy nights in, and amazing fall shades. Not only the ones you can spot in nature! 

I've always had a soft spot for bold burgundy and violet lip numbers, and fall is just the perfect season to rock them, don't you agree? But that's not to say the nudes get to take a time out. They're still very much in front of my makeup drawer, especially if they're matte!

To find out which exactly I'll be carrying in my bag this upcoming season, watch the video below! There's some nude and some bold options, and I made sure to include hand and lip swatches as well this time so that you can see them in all their glory. And remember, don't skidaddle before telling me what you'll be wearing on your lips this fall! 

Can we just call these game changers? I've never been much of a lip liner kind of gal until I discovered Milani's 'Nude' Color Statement Lip Liner a few months ago,  but when Kiko's Smart Lip Pencils made their way into my makeup drawer, my new obsession reached a whole new level. I can't get enough of them! They are every makeup lover's dream - cheap as chips, yet of excellent quality. They go on very smoothly, don't dry your lips out, provide the matte finish everyone's been loving this past season and last ALL DAY. Believe it or not, they can even survive meals. Tried and tested. I currently have three shades (710, 706 & 705) that I wear either on their own or paired with lipsticks, but I think it's safe to say there will be many more joining the collection as soon as I get a job and have money for things like makeup again. I don't know whether I should thank my friend Joanna for introducing me to these or kill her for making me spend money on something that is not rent or food. I have a bad feeling about this. I feel like I'll just walk into Kiko one day and buy the whole line. Cuz I'm crazy like that...

Have you by any chance tried these? Are there any shades I need to get sooner than the others? Right now, my favourite one is 710 Rouge Noir, which by the way goes perfectly with my 'Rebel' lipstick by MAC, but since spring is coming up quite soon, I feel like I should start looking for something brighter.

Kylie Jenner and her nude lips. She definitely brought back a trend that took the beauty world by storm. I myself have never been a fan of true nudes on me, because they simply don't suit me, but I've definitely grown to love slightly darker neutral shades as of recently. I'm not sure if these can be even classified as nudes, but they're my version of nude, so this is what I'm going to call them. 

Essence 'Natural Beauty' Longlasting Lipstick: This one is my old favourite. I've repurchased it two times already and I feel like I'll be repurchasing it until I die. It's the perfect on-the-go shade with a slight pink undertone that seems to go great together with every single makeup look I wear. It has a permanent place in my handbag, not only because of its 'my lips but better' shade, but also because it's extremely comfortable to wear due to its creaminess. 

Milani 'Nude' Color Statement Lip Liner: Telling you that I'm obsessed with this product right now is probably an understatement. I've been wearing it ALL THE TIME during the past month. It's just perfect and I'm so glad I have it in my possesion. I almost gave up on the search for the perfect nude lip liner, as I could never find the shade I was looking for. I hate how pretty much all of them are either full on pink or brown, but this one is right there in the middle. Love! So, we've established that the shade is awsome. How about the formula, you ask? It's flippin' amazing as well. It feels creamy but looks matte, so you get the best of both worlds - comfort and staying power. 

NYX 'Tack' Color Lip Balm: I wasn't sure about this one when I first got it (I won it in a giveaway), because it looked burgundy in the tube, but once I applied it on my lips, I knew that it was a keeper straight away. A lip balm consistency makes sure your lips are nice and moisturized during the cold months, while the pigmentation leaves you with a nice dark pop of neutral colour. You can apply one coat if you want it to look suble or layer it up for a stronger effect. I personally also love wearing it over the Milani lip liner. Match made in heaven! 

How are you feeling about the nude lip trend that is currently going on? Love it or hate it? What are your favourite nudes?
