Darker Lips For Autumn/Winter

I love this time of year when it gets colder because it is the perfect time to wear darker lip colours. It's only recently that I have gotten into bolder lip products and I seem to have collected a few so I thought it would be the perfect time to share with you some of my favourites that I will be wearing during the colder months.
First set of darker lip colours are matte lip creams. I love this at this time of year, with a lip balm underneath they're not drying but look lovely with so many simple or dramatic eye looks. 
 The first one I have is a favourite from last year; Collection Creme Puff in Cotton Candy it's a lovely dark pink that is so flattering on my fair skin. Next I have one of the Miners Matte Factors in Warm Red which is a lovely matte red shade which I will definitely be getting a lot of wear out of.
 Next I have balms and balm stains. This a great for the colder months because they give a good amount of colour whilst being moisturising to the lips. I have two Revlon Lip Butters, one if Lollipop which is a bright pink shade and Berry Smoothie which is a light berry shade, perfect for everyday wear. I also have one of the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in Sweetheart which is a very bright pink but great for adding a lot of colour to finish off a look.
Next I have a few lipsticks, firstly probably my favourite MAC lipstick is Plumful, it is a Lustre finish so is moisturising to the lips and is the perfect plum shade without being too much to wear during the day time. I love the ELF Mineral Lipsticks and the shade Barely Bitten is is dark pink almost red shade which isn't has harsh as wearing a red lip but gives a  similar effect. Finally is another ELF Lipstick in Gypsy which the perfect dark plumy pink shade, another favourite of mine from last year for nights out. 
Finally I have two lip balms which are both very pigmented so they are an easy way of adding a lot of colour. First is the Sleek Pout Polish SPF 15 in Perfect Plum which lives up to it's name as being the perfect plum shade. Then I have the Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose which is a rose toned red shade. Both of these can be worn sheer and darker for a more dramatic finish. 
So those are my picks for some darker lips for Autumn and Winter, I love all of these and can see myself reaching for all of them during these next two seasons. 

What's your favourite lip product for this time of year?
