There are some days when you want to look polish and chic, whilst keeping it subtle.

I have a lip and nail combo which I have found perfect for achieving this look. Of course, I'm going for nudes, they're on trend and oh so easy to wear with anything and everything. Plus I think nude lips and nails they give a nice sophisticated finish to any look.

The lip and nail shades are both different shades of nude. I personly don't like it too matching so I think they work really well together.

As for my current go to lip (Yes, I've actually taken a step back from MAC Whirl, I never thought I'd see the day) is created using the very talked about Kylie Lip Kits in the shade Candy K. This is a much darker shade of nude, which I think suits me more when it comes to lips. It's a brown toned nude with a slight pink hint to it and a matte finish. Of course, it was a pain in the ass to get hold of, and a bit bloody expensive once I'd paid for delivery and customs, but worth every penny. I like both the liquid lipstick and the liner, and I'm a lot happier with the shade than I'd expected.

I love wear of both these variations of nude, they've become my go-to! What are your go-to nude shades?

I'm sure many beauty lovers will agree with me, that when Autumn comes around, it's time be a little braver when it comes to lip colours. Away go the pink, nudes to be replaced with deep reds, and dark berry tones. Personally, I love autumnal makeup, as I feel much more comfortable in a dark berry lip, rather than a natural lip - it's just not really me.

Just a little warning before you read any further- I would say the swatches look slightly different through the camera lens - so if you like the sound of a lips colour from my description you might be better to go off and swatch it yourself than only refer to my swatches!

So here are some of my go-to current lipstick for an autumn lip...

It's a matt 'postbox' red shade. 

Recently I have rediscovered an old favourite lipstick of mine, Lady Danger by MAC.

I lost this lipstick a few months back so stopped wearing it, when I found the lipstick (in an old handbag, of course) it took a place amongst my other lipsticks in my lipstick stand and became half-forgotten. 

However, after oversleeping slightly one morning, shoving up my up in a bun, and quickly applying some mascara, I felt as though I was going to work looking a complete mess. Before the house, I grabbed this lipstick and applied it. I just felt a million times better. It was such an effortless look, yet together look.

I'd describe the shade as a bright orange-red. It has a matt finish and unlike other matt finish lipstick this lipstick isn't dying, it's also fairly long-lasting, a quality I feel a lot of lipsticks lack.

I have completely fallen in love with this lipstick all over again, it gives a beautiful bright red lip.

I mentioned in my August favourites that I am more of a lipstick girl rather than a lip gloss girl, however, to buy this lipgloss on a whim because I had heard so much good stuff about it and I love Tanya Burr, as it only cost £6.99 I felt it was affordable enough to try out, and if I decided it didn't like it wouldn't too much of a loss.

I really love this colour of this lipgloss, it's just a very pretty pink, it's not too over the top, and I find it is a colour which really enhances my natural lip. The wand of this lipgloss is not what I expected, it's much softer and easily glides across your lips making application easy. 

Also what I think really sold me on this lipgloss is the delicious smell. It has a very sweet, strawberry-like scent to it which I love, I find myself repeatedly wanting to apply the lipgloss because of the lovely smell. 

I can not wait to try out some more of the Tanya Burr Lipglosses. I am very surprised to find myself constantly reaching for this lip gloss over my usual MAC or Chanel lipstick.

I would definitely recommend trying this out, I'm so impressed and think this product is such good value for money!

As you may or may not know, I am a huge lipstick fan. Usually, I'm a red girl, and the majority of lipsticks I own and wear are red. People often comment on how my lipstick matches my hair (it is not intentional, I just happen to like both my hair and lips red). However recently I've been trying to push myself to step away from that classic red which I'm so used to. I've tried out several new lipsticks, but my favourite has to be 'Girl About Town' by MAC Cosmetics which is a pink lipstick.

The Shade:

It's very bright, which is actually in my comfort zone (I know most people find wearing bright lipstick intimidating, I, however, feel the most like me in a standout lip) however, unlike my go-to lip colour, it's more of a pink than a red. I'd describe this colour as a fuchsia pink with a slight blue undertone. It's become one of my favourite MAC lipstick colours

I really love 'Girl About Town' by MAC, I  think the colour is beautiful and very pigmented. It's also more of a brightening, summery shade which brings a feel good-vibe to any look. It's a really nice finish and feels great on the lips. Overall I'm super happy I purchased this lipstick and can't stop wearing it.
