First item in my favs is Mac's classic lipstick Whirl (£15.50). I bought this really early in the new year and it had become my go to lipstick. It's a matte finish, The only way I can describe it is that it is a brown-stone shade. I really love this shade, it can go with any outfit and is an everyday shade.

Next is Mac's Twig (£15.50) As soon as I got this lipstick, it soon became my go to, overtaking Whirl. It's a satin finish, and is such a subtle look being a mauve-pink shade. I don't really like pink lipsticks because I just feel like they won't suit me, or they're too girly, but this one is spot on. It's an "in the middle" sort of pink. On the Mac website I think they described it as a "dirty rose" which resembles this shade so well. It is perfect for a subtle look, and everyday use.

My next lipstick is pretty recent, again it is from Mac (£15.50) and is in the shade Verve. This is also a satin finish and I am so in love with this shade. It's a chocolate brown shade and again with this one is perfect for everyday or the occasional night out.

A lot of my favourite nail polishes for winter used to be just black, but with my recent obsession for other dark colours or neutral colours, this has obviously changed. I have two favourites this year and shocker!!! they're not black.
The first one is a Barry M nail polish, in a burgundy shade. I absolutely love this colour, it's such a perfect Autumn/Winter colour however, the durability of this particular polish isn't so great even with a top coat on it. I may have to find the same colour in a different brand which is a shame because I generally really like Barry M. I think I got this polish for 80p because it was reduced in Tesco (bargin!!) but it normally is £4 or something.

The next nail polish I have is a Kiko Milano Power Pro polish, I have no idea what name or number this polish is in (sorry :() This shade is a neutral shade with a hint of purple in it, which I love. With the purple tint, it makes my nails a little less boring. I can't remember how much I got this polish for because I think at the time they were having a sale on. The durability of Kiko polishes are really good too with or without a top coat!

Do you have any of these items? Which are your favourite winter picks?
