Ramblings of a Hyunion

It's finally getting a bit cooler over in Korea (where I'm vacationing until school starts) which means that it's finally time to write up this post! I'll admit, I intended to post this a bit earlier but season 7 of Game of Thrones and vacationing (but mostly Game of Thrones)  has distracted me from finishing up this post. So, in no particular order, here are my top 5 favorite fall lip colors!

1. Shiro: Nic Cage Nibbling on Petit Fours In a Posh Victorian Tearoom

So I might've gotten this gloss based on its name alone, but it's truly a beautiful gloss that you can throw on regardless of how much makeup you're wearing. It's a medium opacity (leaning towards fully opaque) pinky brown gloss that reminds me a lot of traditional mlbb shade. This gloss, like most of my glosses, pulls more pink on me (which I prefer). It's not streaky at all and is very creamy; almost reminiscent of a non-drying liquid lipstick. Plus, it smells like classic vanilla frosting! 

2. Shiro: This Provincial Life

This was a Color of the Month inspired by the live action Beauty and the Beast movie! It smells like maple syrup (although I think it smells more like sweet pastries to me) and is a nice pinky coral (with a hint of copper) on me. It has tiny golden shimmers all throughout, but it doesn't register enough to show up on my lips. If Nic Cage Nibbling... is a classic mlbb color, This Provincial Life is the more lively, vibrant cousin. 

3. Shiro: Darth Side of the Moon

Ugh, I have such a love/hate relationship with this gloss. It's such a deep, rich blackened cherry shade with no shimmer and full opacity. But the smell! It's supposed to smell like coffee and bourbon (I was so excited for the coffee scent), but it smells more like one of those banana flavored laffy taffies to me. I'm not completely appalled by the scent, but I was a little disappointed that it didn't smell like coffee :( Otherwise, it's a very opaque, buildable black-cherry color that leaves a beautiful plummy stain! 

(L to R): Shiro and Co. Oak Barrel Fire Whiskey, Shiro and Co. Cold Pressed Pumpkin Juice, Darth Side of the Moon, Nic Cage Resigned to a Loveless Marriage for the Good of the Realm, This Provincial Life

4. Shiro: Shiro and Co. Cold Pressed Pumpkin Juice

This gloss has to be my favorite scented gloss by far. It's a spicy, pumpkiny blend that leans towards a brownish/copperish orange. It's also fairly sheer, in comparison to other glosses, but that also means that it looks fairly natural (considering that it's an orange gloss.) It's also the most glittery of all of the glosses in this post, which makes it a wonderful topper to other lip colors! My absolute favorite combination is Pumpkin Juice on top of Nic Cage Nibbling on Petit Fours! 

5. Shiro: Shiro and Co. Oak Barrel Fire Whiskey 

This one looks a bit too pink in the arm swatch and looks a bit deeper and more burgundyish. It's also quite cinnamony, which means that it could feel a bit tingly for those with sensitive lips. This one is sheerer and jelly like and doesn't contain too much noticeable shimmer on the lips. Most of the glitter is red and orange, so it blends with the original color of the gloss in most lightings. It noticeably adds a bit of cherry cola like color with a light application and is my favorite no makeup gloss. 

Honorable mention to Shiro's Nic cage Resgiend to a Loveless Marraige for the Good of the Realm (LOL) as my favorite berry pink color for all seasons! I don't wear this one specificially in the fall though, so I thought I'd mention it as my year round favorite!
