Hey Beauties!
Autumn is here and that means one thing for us beauty lovers! a makeup change i have to admit that the Autumn/Winter trends have to be my favourite of the year just because i feel makeup gets a lot more expressive and deeper.
Colour and Pigmentation
To be honest i had never tried this line before apart from what Jayne's Kitsch had shown me. The range is called Autograph by Marks and Spencers you can see why i would never have thought to try it who would think makeup and Marks and Spencers but i found myself pleasantly surprised. This lipstick is a matte formula and im not usually a big matte fan but the texture of these blew me away they are matte but they aren't drying in the slightest they are smooth and super pigmented and don't drag on your lips. The colour is called Mulberry which to me is the perfect shade for the coming season the perfect berry/red ((Mulberry is a dupe of Illamasqua Shard Lipstick))
Wear Time
Packaging
The packaging of this lipstick is quite reminiscent of the Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick range with the click top lid where you pull the lipstick out i really love this type of packaging just simple because it exudes class and sophistication. The Autograph lipstick is lighter than the Rouge Allure tube and feels a bit more plasticy but still is quite sturdy
Price and Where to Buy
You can get the Autograph Colour Intense Matte Lipstick in Mulberry from Marksandspencer.com or from the Marks and Spencer Beauty Hall for £8.50,
If you are not keen on the fully matte lipstick you can get the same colour but in a glossy texture
The Good and The Bad
The Good?- It has a pigmented non drying formula
The Bad?- There are only 2 shades in the matte range
What do you think of A/W Colours?
What is your favourite trend?

I love matte finish in lipstick and they are perfect for the winter season :) Love the shade, I will probably give it a go since I never tried any M&S cosmetics products before!

This shade is gorgeous but just wondered with it being matte is it drying on the lip? Most matte shades I've tried have been drying so I've switched to a sheen, but if this one doesn't then I would be willing to give matte another go xx
ReplyDeleteI just don't like matte finish in lipcolour or nail polish. Having said that I do like the Mulberry, although its a bit dark for me. What I'm after for the Winter is a nice clear red. No orange cast. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to check out M&S's make up range! I will after reading this post that's for sure.
