MAC Lipstick in Diva | Review and swatch

I have been wanting to buy Diva by MAC since last year but for some reason (probably because I bought too many lipsticks) I never got around to it. It seems like this year it's going to be just as popular, or even more, so I decided to go ahead and make a trip to my closest MAC counter before I started buying other lipsticks. It's all just a cycle, really.

As you can see, it looks really dark on the tube but it's not as intimidating when you wear it. If you're into wearing dark lipsticks, this shade of burgundy is most likely perfect for you. It's also a matte formula, which I have been really liking this year, and it's up to MAC standards as far as longlasting/pigmentation/hydration goes.

You can get it at MAC counters or MAC stores, or at their online website for £15.50 in the UK, 19.50€ in Spain or $16 in the US.

Kiko Ace of Diamond lipstick 27 | Review and swatch

After hearing a lot of people (specially Anna from ViviannaDoesMakeup) talk about this lipstick, and knowing how much I love my dark lipsticks, I decided I should go ahead and buy the Kiko Ace of Diamond lipstick in the number 27, which is from their Autumn 2014 collection. 

First things first, the packaging is stunning! It comes in this metallic slash mirrored tube that is gorgeous and it feels so much more expensive than it actually is. That sold me on it already.

If we talk about the liptick itself, it's a really pretty dark plum color, perfect for autumn and winter; and, something that I wasn't expecting, it's a matte formula! I've been a lot into matte lipsticks at the moment, so this made it even better.

It applies really nice, although I do wish the tip of the lipstick was more rounded so I could get go the corners easier. Here's a swatch of what it looks like:

And the price tag? It retails for 7.90€ in Spain and £7.90 in the UK.

Top 5 | My favorite fall lipsticks

Today I want to share with you my top 5 lipsticks for fall! It's no secret I love my lip products, so obviously I'm going to have some favorites for the fall time.

Hoy quiero compartir mi top 5 de pintalabios para el otoño. No es ningún secreto que me encantan los pintalabios, así que obviamente tengo algunos favoritos para este tiempo otoñal.

 1. MAC's Rebel lipstick: Rebel is a satin lipstick from MAC's permanent collection (so it's easy to find it) and one of their most popular ones for this time of the year. If you like the dark lips trend, this is your lipstick. It's a dark purple color but very wearable and pretty. It's my favorite one out of these five.

Pintalabios Rebel de MAC: es un pintalabios satin de la colección permanente de MAC (por lo que es fácil de encontrar) y uno de los más populares para esta época del año. Si te gusta la moda de los labios oscuros, este es tu pintalabios. Es un color morado oscuro pero es muy bonito y te lo puedes poner mucho. ¡Es mi favorito de los cinco!

2. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Smitten: this is also a dark purple color, but it's lighter than Rebel. This product is a stain but it's very creamy and it won't dry your lips, which is always a good thing.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain en el color Smitten: también es un morado oscuro, pero es más claro que Rebel. Este producto es un tinte labial pero es muy cremoso y no te seca los labios, lo cual es bueno.

3. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Honey: as you can tell, I really like these. I chose this one because it's a light color but it's not bright. It's a muted mauve that I think it's perfect for the fall time. Even though I'm putting it as my third option, it's the one I wear the most out of the five.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain en el color Honey: como puedes ver me gustan mucho. He elegido este porque es un color claro pero no es brillante. Es un malva apagado que creo que es perfecto para el otoño. Aunque lo estoy poniendo en el número tres, es el que más uso de estos cinco.

4. Maybelline lipstick in Lady Red (#527): everyone needs a red lipstick, and to me, this is the best one out there. Maybelline lipsticks are very good quality and this is just amazing. It has cool undertones so it makes your teeth look whiter than a warm red would.

Pintalabios de Maybelline en Lady Red (#527): todo el mundo necesita un pintalabios rojo, y para mí, este es el mejor. Los pintalabios de Maybelline son de muy buena calidad y este me encanta. Tiene tonos fríos lo que hace que los dientes parezcan más blancos que si fuesen tonos cálidos.

5. Maybelline Super Stay 10h tint gloss in lasting pink: another stain...but this one has a glossy finish. Even though the color is called lasting pink, I'd say it's more on the red side, but anyway, it's very pretty.

Maybelline Super Stay 10h tint gloss en lasting pink: otro tinte labial...pero este tiene un acabado gloss. Aunque el color se llama lasting pink, yo diría que el color es más tirando a rojo, pero bueno, es un color muy bonito. 

I also make a video on this, so here it is in case you want to see them (and some swatches) in "real life":

También he hecho un vídeo de esto, así que os lo dejo aquí por si los quieres ver (y los swatches) en "la vida real":
