Yes, the weather did get quite chilly over the past couple of days! Quite windy over here too! Love these lip colours. I'm definitely looking forward to wearing the deep, vampy shades this season! I wasn't sure about the Shanghai Suzy shade, but once I tried it on my lips, I really liked it!

Oooh pretty picks! I love anything vampy, but I also think brown nudes and burnt oranges will be lovely for the colder months. x
