I love this time of year, cosy pjs, fires lighting and warm cosy jumpers. I love nothing else than wearing these dark vampy lippies. I really need to get that ELF exfoliator to make sure my lips are in tip top condition. Darker colours are less forgiving so they need to be in excellent condition. I also swipe an eye cream across the lips to keep them moisturised from time to time.
