L'Oreal Infallible 24h Matte Foundation

First things first - this stuff is amazing. I have the shade 11 vanilla and it costs £7. This little tube of goodness is an amazing drugstore base. It's a good Double Wear dupe but in my opinion has a little less coverage and just a little less longevity but for 1/5 of the price who's complaining?! I love the packaging - no fuss and perfect for traveling. I apply this with my Real Techniques buffing brush and it goes on like a dream. Not really sure what else to say without sounding like I want to marry it. I'm a foundation whore so I know I'll be purchasing all the other new releases (I won't deny it anymore) and still know that Double Wear & Silk Creme are my ultimate's but this is just a dream for work when sitting at a desk all day doesn't deserve a £30 product covering your face.

Rimmel Matte Finish Lipstick Shade 107 Wine

Rimmel Matte Finish Lipstick in 107 Wine - £5.49 (Superdrug) (FeelUnique)

I've used my Rimmel Matte lipstick in 110 a lot since purchasing and reviewing it back in February. It was quite a bold shade for the summer for me so when looking for a deeper red for the winter I thought it would be the perfect range to head back to. I really like the finish to this range - they are super pigmented and have a non-drying matte finish. I find them a little more satin than full on matte which I really like. Shade 110 is quite out there for me it's a deep red wine shade but it was just what I wanted for the winter and for Christmas parties. I wear a lot of black so I think this shade will offset it nicely. It's definitely not an everyday shade but I'm so glad I have something autumnal in my collection ready for parties!

Barry M - Matte Nail Varnish Autumn 2013

Barry M Matte Nail Varnish - £3.99 Boots

Barry M have bought out so many new releases to their nail varnish range this year but the autumn winter matte collection has easily been the one that has got me most excited. The range has come out in 5 shades - espresso (black), crush (burgundy), caramel, vanilla (light nude) and mocha (mid brown). I could have easily picked up all five shades but decided to stick to crush and caramel as I do own a matte top coat so it definitely wasn't necessary for me to own these but I wanted them so much. I love matte nail varnish and these shades are perfect for autumn. Above is the polish using two coats and like all Barry M polish they cover well and have good lasting power. I'm going to resist buying the other three as I really don't need them but I love this entire collection it was hard to choose just two shades as they are all perfect for this season.

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Shade 110

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Shade 110 Boots £5.49 (currently 3 for 2)

I've been searching for a wearable red lipstick that doesn't completely wash me out - I've found it in this delicious orange toned red from the Rimmel Kate range. It has a velvety texture and after a few coats gives really good coverage. I can't wait to sport this with a black dress and a bit of a tan on a night out in a few weeks. It's the red I've been looking for and it's matte which is a bit like a dream for me. I don't really like the packaging of this lipstick something about the bright red and black  together don't really do anything for me but I'll let it go as I love the shade too much. 

ELF Studio Matt Lip Colour - Coral

ELF Studio Matt Lip Color - Coral £3.75

I've wanted this lipstick for so so long and during each ELF order it's either been out of stock or I've been in a weird 'I have too many lipsticks' mood. However this ELF order it was in stock and I was of sane mind that a girl can never have too many lipsticks. 

This ticks every single box for me - I like coral, I like pencil packaging and I love a matte finish. It looks quite bright in the picture above and it can be in certain lights but it's a lovely pink toned coral that glides on the lip. Even though it's matte I didn't find it drying and I loved wearing it. As my lips are quite pink naturally I find it works best with a touch of Benefit Cha Cha Tint underneath as it just tones down my lips a bit and gives a good even base. 

I love it and I'm so glad I just bit the bullet and bought it. 

Revlon Matte Lipsticks Stormy Pink & Nude Attitude

Revlon Matte Lipstick £7.49 Boots

Revlon Matte Smoked Peach is one of my all time favourite lipsticks. I blogged about it in January here and have been wearing it so much this year. I picked up shades stormy pink and nude attitude as even though my lips are pretty dry I just love the matte finish of these lipsticks. They wear evenly and last pretty well. I like both shades and love that the nude has a slight gold sheen going through it. I don't think I can wear these lipsticks in the winter as my lips are much dryer than normal but I can't wait to get these out more often next spring.
