Favorite Drugstore Lipsticks for Fall

Fall is officially here, at least in Texas!!   The temperature actually dropped below 60 degrees for more than 3 day and surprisingly we have had several days where I could pull out my knee length boots.  So with the change in seasons comes a change in what I grab for my makeup.   So with the crisp autumn air come natural, berry’s/purples and reds.

Lip Liners

To ensure that your lipstick looks it's best I suggest you invest at least four lip liners.  Lip liners can help a lipstick look it s best by either toning it down, amping it up, preventing lipstick from bleeding (don't you just hate that) or helping the color transition onto your lips.  For colors I think every lip junk or junkie in training needs are: Brown, Pink, Berry/purple & red.   Below is a swatch of the four lip liners I tend to go to.  

From Left to Right
- Jordana Easyliner - #EL06 Cabernet
- NYX Slip Lip Pencil - #SPL839 Dolly Pink
- Jordana Easyliner - #EL04 Coco Loco
- Wet n Wild Lipliner  - #L015 Red


Let me know what your favorite fall lipies are and if you agree or disagree with my choices and why.
