I just wanted to apologize for my last post on Vampy Lip trends. I seemed to only focus on higher end cosmetics and i felt that was a little unfair to some. So this post will be dedicated to drugstore lipsticks for the Vampy Lip trend! Also i promise to be more even next time i make a trend post!
For Deep Plum- Rimmel London Lasting Finish Kate Moss 04-
This whole line is just fantastic. From the candy smell, high pigmentation, high opacity, and how long it lasts, this is just an A+ Lipstick. This dark purple is just enough to make a statement but not really washout those who are on the fair and light side.
For rich cherry red- Milani Black Cherry 11-
This shade has complete coverage. There is no streaking or bleeding and it will leave your lips feeling moisturized. It doesn't last all day but if you use a lip primer (like pixi line and prime) this will last much longer. This shade really stands out and because of how warm it is would work on most skin tones. With a price tag of only 3 dollars you cant help but pick this up.
For Brown Red- Wet N Wild 917 B Cinnamon Spice-
This is a matte brick red shade. It isn't as deep of a brown up close but from afar on light skin it can appear to be just dark enough to go with the trend. On darker skins this may show up as a much lighter color, so maybe do a skin swatch before using this for the vampy shade. Since long wear can be a little drying maybe add a lip primer or some chapstick under this shade to keep your lips moisturized.
For a Deeper Red Brown- Wet N Wild 918 D Cherry Bomb-
This shade is a much richer version of the one above. It is darker in both the red and brown tones. It will definitly give you those blood red lips your looking for and since it is matte it has quite a bit of staying power. As mentioned above for more moisture use blam/chapstick or primer under this shade.
For Dark Gothic Purple- Wet N Wild 919B Vamp It Up
This shade is so dark it can appear black depending on the lighting. This is a shade that takes the trend of vampy lips seriously. This is also from the Wet N Wild mega last matte collection which has honestly taken me from spring to summer and now into fall. This shade like all the rest is matte, long lasting, and just a tiny bit drying. It is opaque and only very very slightly streaky but its so slightly that unless your always pressing your lips together you wont even notice.
What do you think of this trend?

On Trend- Vampy Lips
The days are getting longer, the nights are getting cooler, and the lips are getting darker. That's right dark vampy shades are in. Intense Fuchsia, Warm Cocoa, Deep Plums and Rich Reds. Whether you are bringing out your inner goth or just trying on the trend of the season, there is no denying these colors are beautiful for everyone!
Here are my picks!
For Warm Cocoa- MAC Film Noir-
This, satin finish, intense brown is perfect for fall. It will allow you to go dark without having your whole face look washed out. I prefer to pair it with gold eye shadow with just a little black eyeliner. This lipstick is dramatic but also not over the top! Non streaky, opaque, and that warm vanilla scent is just the cherry on top.
For a rich red/brown- Lancome Cocoa Couture 292N-
Moisturizing and rich, this dark red brown from the Rouge in Love collection is perfect for those who aren't ready to make the complete brown commitment. Because it is creamy it can be layered for a sheer or deep look. It doesn't take more than two swipes for full coverage. This is non streaky and the tube is very classy. I like to pair this with a light orange eye as stay in the reddish family but not look too matchy.
For intense fuchsia- MAC Rebel-
So you refuse to give up pink for fall? No problem! This fuchsia leans on the pink side and is dark enough to be worn in the fall and still stay on trend. It has both purple and red tones so it could work on any skin tone. This is very similar to Lancome's L'Absolu Crème de Mat in Prune Elixir . For a review and swatches click here. These pictures show this shade as a little more red than the color really is. You can also pick up Wet N Wild 908c, it is also a matte version of this shade.
For deep plum- MAC Young Rapunxel-
Yes, sadly this shade is a limited edition but it really is on point with the vampy lip trend. This creme shade is super moisturizing, super shiny, and has opaque color pay off. This rich deep purple can be paired with shimmery silver eyeshadow or even get matchy with some purple and rose shadows.
Rich red- MAC Rocker-
Give your lips the dark cherry look! This shade allows you bring out your inner vixen while still giving you creative freedom for the rest of your look. Since it isn't too dark you can do subtle or smokey eye for shadow.
Which shade are you going to go for? Do you follow trends? If so which is your favorite fall trend? Leave some comments and make sure to follow!
