Berries

I've recently warmed to berry lips which is unusual for me. I go for corals, reds and occasionally pinks. But nearing halloween and all that, it seems fitting. I've found the perfect berry shade for me. It's super sheer and easily buildable. For the daytime, one stroke is definitely enough (as not to scare) 

And for a stronger, more striking look... a few more layers!

The shade I'm in love with is a Nars lipstick called Fast Ride. Okay, it looks a scary, but does come out much sheerer!

(However, the only downside is that it doesn't stay on for very long)

Anyway, I'm off for a shop. Hopefully I'll find some inspiration for some Christmas presents. I'm not being overly keen, but it's good to get ideas as I hate leaving things 'til last minute!
