Getting into Fall: Lip Colors

Hi guys!!  I actually don't particularly delve into super bright or deep lip colors usually during the week because I worry about re-application during school, but I do have a handful of lippies to share from my collection with swatches!
Here they are..
LtoR: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in "Berry", NYX Round Lipstick in "B52", Cargo Essential Lip Color in "Santa Fe", Maybelline Color Elixir in "Caramel Infused", Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in "Kir Royale", and OFRA's Lipgloss Plumper in "Sultry"
Swatches correspond LtoR as order above:
    
 The Fresh treatment is surprisingly pigmented for a tinted balm, and mixed with the natural pigment in your lips it becomes very dark.
 NYX's Round Lipsticks are a completely under-rated drugstore product in itself but "B52" is incredible! It's more a rosey neutral in the swatch but on my lips I can layer it and it can pull a little blue-toned on my skin. It is a very interesting shade.
 Cargo's lip color does have shimmer in it, but if you can deal with the texture of a shimmery lip color this is a fabulous deeper neutral.
Maybelline's Color Elixir is a great rosey neutral that is perfect for the transition between summer and fall.
A close color to Fresh's balm in "Berry" is Buxom's "Kir Royale". I almost find that they are the same color but in different formats.
OFRA's "Sultry" plumper has a golden shimmer that is almost metallic, a great gloss for highlighting your lips and to coordinate with a berry lipstick or liner.
Thanks for reading!!
What do you want to see next?
