Top Picks For Winter Lip Colours || Collab♥

Lip products are one of my favourite products. It fascinates me how one lipstick can change up an entire look. Winter is my favourite season for lip colours - give me a berry, red, plum or purple and I'm happy. Bold makeup is more "acceptable" in this season and I love nothing more than being adventurous when it comes to my makeup.

Back in June, Kirsty and I decided to collab on our Summer Lip Colours and it was only right to do a Winter Lip Colours post too. I've managed to narrow it down to 5 lip products, all available from the drugstore.

Starting with the most natural, nude colour in my picks is the Seventeen Lip Crayon. Usually, I wouldn't pick a lip crayon but I have been loving this lately. It's oh-so smoothing and creamy on the lips so as you could imagine, it glides on your lips no bother. It's the perfect product to quickly finish off any makeup look - dramatic or natural. I cannot even tell you how many times I reach for this product! It leaves a nice and natural finish to the lips. It gives a glossy look with a little bit of colour. This product could be used any time of year but would be great during Winter when you're focusing on your eye makeup.

I love red lipsticks, they just scream Christmas time at me. The Revlon Colourstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Trendsetter is most definitely one of the best I've found. In the tube, it looks deep red however, once applied, it does have a hint of a berry undertone in it. The staying power of this is immense - I went to Costa once (I'm a Costa gal!) and it was still on! It's really creamy so beware, it may melt a little if in heat. I would class this as more of a lipstain than a lipstick due to it's staying power. To sum it up in four words would be: festive, classy yet gorgeous.

Bargain lipsticks seem to make their way into my stash. The MUA Lipstick in Shade 2 is one of them. In the tube, it looks an intimidating purple. When applied to the lips, it's nowhere near as dark nor scary. It's a bit more sheer which makes it wearable for daytime, but it's not transparent - it does give off colour. It's an easy colour to apply as it's not high demanding as it isn't as bold as some other colours, meaning, it's easy to apply when on the go. Since it isn't as bold, it goes well with multiple different looks.

Yet another purple, but this time it's Makeup Revolution #LipHug in I Wasn't Mixed Up. This is a brighter, bolder purple than the previous. These are incredibly creamy and glide on. Since they're more noticeable than the previous, these do require a little bit more precision and assistance when applying. When on the lips, they give off a glossy finish which looks fantastic. When I first got this, I was unsure to how this would work and whether I'd like it. Turns out it's one of my top picks for this season. Paired with a simple eye look, this lip colour looks ace.

Finally, keeping my favourite until last, is the Seventeen Stay Pout Lipstick in Rule Breaker. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have seen me raving about this lippy! The formula, the packaging, the colour, everything. Need a berry coloured lipstick? Get this. It's the one! I find this looks better on top of a lipliner as it's bold, it needs to be perfect - no dodgy application is wanted! It's perhaps the most pigmented of the bunch and the most "out there". The staying power is impressive - it lasts for hours before needing topped back up. To me, it's basically Winter in a tube - it's this season summed up into one lipstick. I can assure you that I received lots of complements on this when I wore it one day - it was loved by others and not just me! The formula of these lipsticks are one of my favourites - I own more than this one now!

As I mentioned above, this is a collab with Kirsty as we have collaborated before, both share a love for makeup plus, we literally talk all the time, so what better than collaborating with one of my favourites?!

Have you tried any of these lipsticks? What are your top picks?
