Okay, this post has been a long time in the making! If you're only just tuning into this blog, autumn is my favourite season and vampy lips are my jam. These photos don't really do any of the products/swatches justice, but these are all of the products I would consider fall-appropriate. (Also, this is likely the last post I'm making using my terrible point-and-shoot camera since I now have a smart phone with an amazing camera, REJOICE.) Of course, autumn doesn't just mean vampy lips and to hell with "seasonal beauty rules" if you prefer wearing neons or nudes or pinks, but there's something about cooler weather that just lends itself to berry lips in my mind.
I have quite the collection and if anyone wants better swatches, feel free to request them! Anything with an asterisk next to it is a favourite of mine. Every list is from left to right and where applicable, official colour descriptions are in parentheses. Note that I don't think they're always accurate.

(The lip tar swatches photographed the worst out of the whole bunch, but they tend to be my favourite, so I will likely take a better picture another time. They also bleed very easily because you only need a tiny drop for full-coverage, but to swatch them you need more, and then they start bleeding into every line of your skin. Lydia wasn't fully mixed when I swatched it so I re-did it below.)
- Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Fig* (lavender)
- Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Lydia* (darkroom plum)
Not pictured: Limnit Lipsticks in Swept Away (dusty rose), Castle In the Sky (slightly cool, pinky-purple), Olly Olly Oxen Free (medium oxblood with purple undertones/deep berry). I couldn't dig them out of my collection (buried in a shelf underneath other products) so I skipped them.
If you're afraid of trying a vampy lip and want a stepping stone, the cult classic Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is perfect. I also own this and could swatch it if someone requests it.
I've been slacking when it comes to autumn makeup and not really giving much thought to it, but these are some of the eyeshadow palettes that I think are perfect for the season! Lots of plummy shades and neutral tones leaning slightly dark.
- tarte Limited-Edition Rainforest After Dark Colored Clay Eye & Cheek Palette
- Lorac Skinny palette in Plum
- theBalm Nude Dude palette
- IT Cosmetics Matte Luxe Eye Shadow Palette
- both Lorac Pro palettes (the first leans warm, the second leans cool)
