These are the Lip Colors I’ll Be Wearing This Fall

| ,

I like to embrace new tones in my makeup every season. Fall is my favorite season so I love adding in new lip colors to my everyday makeup looks. I am someone who always loved a nude lip in my 20’s and 30’s but now in my late 40’s, I prefer to wear more color on my lips. So my fall tones are less focused on browns and rich neutrals and more on bright berry and plum shades. Nothing too dark but colors that still give my face some life. Some of these fall lip colors are ones I’ve been wearing for years and some are new additions. If you love the lip colors I wear regularly but want some fall options, here are 7 I would recommend.

The Lip Colors I’ll Be Wearing This Fall

Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Raspberry Jelly

This is a shade that I NEVER would have reached for years ago but now it’s one of my favorite colors to wear in the fall/winter. It’s a sheer berry tint that adds the perfect pop of color to the lips. Some lip tints offer more hydration than color but this formulation provides. It gives the lips the perfect amount of shine without being too glossy.

Saie Glossybounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss Oil in Remix

The Saie Glossybounc is a mix between a lip gloss and an oil. It has a bit of slip to it which makes it feel quite nourishing and moisturizing, but isn’t too thin or runny. I always go straight for the pinky nudes and sheer peaches when trying out a new lip formula, but this time I wanted something that was a bit bolder and gave me more color. Remix is one of shimmer glosses and was an instant love from first swipe. It’s a mauve shimmer that is the most perfect deep rose shade which is a great fall option for those that want something a bit lighter than a berry or plum shade.

Westman Atelier HydroBalm Tinted Lipstick in English Rose

If you don’t love a full coverage lipstick and prefer something with just a hint of color, these Westman Atelier HydroBalm lipsticks are definitely worth trying. They give a sheer wash of color (but still enough to show up) and feel incredibly nourishing on the lips. The shade English Rose manages to be the perfect shade of cool toned rose without being too pink.

Tower 28 LipSoftie Hydrating Tinted Lip Treatment Balm in Ube Vanilla

The formula of these tinted lip balms is incredible and makes the lips feel nourished while still delivering a ton of pigment. Ube Vanilla is a deep berry that could look a tad intimidating in the tube but when you apply a sheer layer, it tints the lips with a gorgeous plum berry shade that I adore.

Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss Plumper in Encourage-Mint

This has been a favorite for a few years though it’s a plumping formula that uses a cooling sensation instead of those that feel hot on the lips. The feeling is quite intense which does not bother me but it is worth mentioning to those that may be sensitive to this. They also have a strong mint scent which I personally love but as with the plumping effect, it is very noticeable and could irritate those who are sensitive to that. If you are not and want a great lip gloss formula that gives the most glassy and gorgeous finish to the lips and feels quite nourishing, this formula is it! My favorite color is Encourage-mint which is a soft berry shade that gives just enough color.

Kulfi Lassi Lips Staining Lip Oil in First Sari

If you are on the hunt for a long-lasting lip formula, this Kulfi Staining Lip Oil is a must try. It feels like a lip oil but dries down to a stain that lasts all day long. I love wearing it alone or layering it under another gloss. Many lip stains feel drying the longer you wear them, but I don’t experience that with The finish is natural and the shade First Sari is a gorgeous rich berry.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Ma Puce

Westman Atelier products are an absolute must try for mature skin types. The formulations really impress me while the shade options are absolutely beautiful. This Liquid Lip Balm is a buildable formula that gives great color payoff while feeling weightless on the lips. The shade Ma Puce is the easy to wear rich rosy pink that is perfect for anyone that doesn’t prefer a plum or berry shade for the fall/winter.

Fall Boots That Won’t Break the Bank

| ,

Boots are a necessary fall closet staple but most often are an investment compared to ballet flats or pumps. There are amazing luxury boots everywhere but you don’t have to spend a ton to get a boot that looks timeless, chic and can be worn year after year. I rounded up 9 boots under $300 (though most are under $250) that would complete any fall wardrobe.

Fall Boots That Won’t Break the Bank

Sam Edelman Sylvia Knee High Boots

Sam Edelman is one of my favorite brands to shop for affordable yet stylish boots. Most boots in this price range don’t look as sleek and expensive as Sam Edelman boots and these knee high boots are a perfect example of that. They are a classic style boot with a walkable block heel that comes in both neutral colors and bold prints.

Marc Fisher LTD Yanara Pointed Toe Booties

Most of the boots I chose from this post are classic in style and shape so you can wear them for years to come. This was the only slightly trendy boot I chose because of the large block heel and square toe but it’s still a boot I would wear season after season if you want something a bit more unexpected.

Sam Edelman Laguna Boots

I own these chelsea boots and can confirm they are one of my most worn boots year after year. They are waterproof which makes them even better but they still look like a classic casual chelsea boot.

Sam Edelman Saige Ankle Booties

These ankle boots are a near identical style to the knee high Sylvia boots I shared earlier in the post. They have that same sleek shape that you can easily dress up or down.

J.Crew Sylvie Ankle Boots

Another great pair of kitten heel ankle boots!

Sam Edelman Milla Knee High Boots

If you don’t want a heeled boot but still want something elevated and polished, I LOVE the look of these flat boots. A bit like a riding boot in overall style but no added details so they are the perfect simple sleek flat boot.

Marc Fisher LTD Tarrie Tall Block Heel Boots

A solid block heel makes these a great choice if you plan on standing for a long time or walking throughout the day.

Schutz Mikki Stiletto Ankle Booties

I have a pair of ankle boots that look almost identical to this and while I don’t wear them all the time during fall because the heel is a bit higher, I wear them frequently enough that I’m glad I bought a pair many years ago. A simple pointy toe ankle boot like this will last you years, never go out of style and will always be a great option for a dressier fall look.

Blondo Hylia Waterproof Booties

Another waterproof boot option that is great to wear to work or somewhere a bit dressier. The problem with foul weather boots is they don’t look great worn with professional attire. Because of this you either have to change boots when you get to your destination or wear clunky rain boots with a workwear look. These suede waterproof ankle boots are a great option!

Tips on Having Great Style For Women Over 40

As we get older, our style can evolve or change. But that doesn’t mean we have to abandon it completely. I love getting dressed just as much in my late 40’s as I did in my 20’s and 30’s. Choosing my style over 40 has given me a chance to refine my wardrobe, have fun with current trends, and build polished outfits without overcomplicating it. This post is going to be a practical collection of tips, wardrobe staples, and easy outfit ideas.

A crisp structured blazer will forever be a wardrobe staple. This one stood out to me because it buttons up much higher than other blazers which allows you to wear it as a top or unbuttoned as a blazer. 

Everything I Read in September 2026 – Part 2

This book has been on my TBR list for months though I was unsure how I would feel about it. It’s a polarizing book with people either loving it or hating it. Once I finished it, I could understand why. I loved this book but mainly because I hated everything about every character. I know that sounds strange but I want a book that makes me feel something deeply.
