Budget Friendly Fall Lipstick Picks

Swatches

I have not posted in a while because of school, but since I was taking a break from all the homework assignments I have for the weekend, I decided to do a lipstick post for Fall. At first, I was going to mix up all the fall lipstick picks I have, but I decided to do one that's for drugstore lipsticks & I will probably end up doing one for the mid-range brands as well.

(This picture is on my instagram as well)

Revlon Pink Truffle: Creamy neutral pinkish-brown. This is lightweight and moisturizing. Not too cool of a nude for fall. Depending on location, this is sold for $5.50 - $8.99
Rimmel London 107: Berry red with a matte finish. This glided on very smooth on the lips, but has a fruity scent to it. This is sold for $5.00 - $7.50.
Wet n Wild Ravin' Raisin: Dusty purple with a matte finish. This is very pigmented, but is a bit heavy on the lips. This retails for $1.99 at many locations.
Maybelline Color Whisper Berry Ready: Creamy pink berry. This is very pigmented, lightweight & moisturizing. Since it's very creamy & lightweight, it wears out fast so you would need to reapply this throughout the day. It kind of smells like fruity pebbles to me. This is sold for $6.00 - $8.00
Wet n Wild Cinnamon Spice: Matte brick red. Like Ravin' Raisin, this is very pigmented & a bit heavy on the lips, but it is not too uncomfortable. This retails for $1.99 at many locations.
Milani Black Cherry: Creamy deep red. This applies a bit patchy and it has a strong fruity scent to it. I blot the first layer so the second layer will not be as patchy & exfoliating the lips before applying is also recommended. This is sold for $5.49 - $6.49.

What do you think about these lipsticks from my picks? What are your picks for Fall? :)

Essence Renesmee Red Blush

Swatches & Review

Renesmee Red Blush is part of Essence's collaboration with Twilight's Breaking Dawn Part 2. The collection consists of one blush, one shimmering powder, four loose pigment eyeshadows, two liquid glitter liner, one lipstick, one lip-gloss, and four nail polishes.

Out of everything from the collection, I wanted the Renesmee Red Blush the most. I was actually surprised that I was able to find it because I was never able to find the blush from Essence's Legends of the Sky collection.

Renesmee Red is a matte red blush. It looks scary in the pan, but the swatch of it is not too bad.

It swatches out into a lovely light red-orange shade. It is pigmented and it was quite easy to blend out for me. It is best to use a light-hand because you can easily over-do this shade, especially since it is a red, but it is gorgeous!

For $2.99, I recommend this blush. I purchased mine at Ulta, which is not my absolute favorite place to shop at. When I went to purchase the blush, there were three more left (out of the four on display) and all of them of them seemed like they were swatched, so I ended up going to another Ulta a few more miles away to get one that was just "lightly" swatched. It is quite annoying because these are not sealed, which is my only complaint. This is not the most original color, but for the price and quality you get with it, it is definitely worth picking up if you are interested in it :)

Are you thinking about picking this up? & Are you going to watch Breaking Dawn part 2? :D
