Firstly, I want to thank Kate the Almost Great for having me on her blog. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know her and I can’t wait to get to know the rest of you! When I think of fall, I think of brown, coppery colors. So, I wanted to share my favorite lip colors of the season I hope you enjoy!
P.S. None of these contain Lanolin which many people (including myself) are allergic to.
Pros: Nice sheer coverage, but not super sheer like the balms below. Silky texture.
Cons: Waxy taste, but that’s not a big deal to me though.
Revlon Color Burst: Romantique $6
Pros: Very sheer, so it just subtly enhances your own lip color. Great for a day when you are running out of the house.
Cons: If you have a full face of makeup on, this may be too subtle and not show up.
Smashbox: Vivid Violet $20
Pros: This is an opaque creme lipstick, so it’s moisturizing and gives lots of coverage. I love that it looks so natural, yet it holds up to even smokey eyes.
Cons: Can’t think of any!
Revlon Color Burst: Adore $6
Pros: Very sheer. Subtly adds a copper color. Great for a day when you are running out of the house.
Cons: If you have a full face of makeup on, this may be too subtle and not show up.

I've been eyeing the Revlon Lip Butter for a while, but usually end up going to the NYC color section and grab the Applelicious lip balms for 1.50 each. Might need to go for that one though 🙂

Hi, I've used the NYC lip balms too. They are similar but not as sheer as Revlon's. However, you can't beat the price!
I love the Revlon Lip Butter!
I love your blog name. I wish I had become "The girl who loved lip glosses…" 🙂
While these all look great on you, I don't think you can really consider the $20 Smashbox lipstick cheap. I dont, anyway. Plus, all of these are tested on animals. 🙁
Good point, I threw in the Smashbox lipstick at the last minute bc I'd already taken the pictures. I meant to put a blurb that it was exempted from the cheapness claim, but forgot. Thanks for calling it out! I also didn't know about the animal testing. Do you have any brands that you recommend that don't? I"m at http://www.PetiteCareerGirl.com
I love Revlon lipsticks!
Me too!
All of these colors are so pretty. The Revlon Color Burst in Romantique is my favorite! A cheap lipstick I love is N.Y.C Sheer Red. It looks just like Clinique's Angel Red.
