Accessorize is not necessarily a brand that automatically springs to mind when I'm having one of my five daily daydreams about beauty items. Bags and jewellery, yes, and fair isle knit gloves, definitely, but make up not so much. I imagine this is the case for a lot of people, but having said that, I do consider them a bit of an unsung hero of the nail colour world. The quality is excellent and at four quid a pop, they're very reasonably priced. This nail polish in Blackberry is my absolute favourite to wear in autumn and winter, and when you consider it in the of context my disgustingly extensive collection, that fact speaks for itself. It's the most flawless deep, rich burgundy shade which teeters on the edge of black in some lights and leaves a glossy, sleek finish - my go-to option when I'm donning dark tips and the only polish I've ever set my sights on repurchasing.
A dark lip is also a favourite at this time of year and Revlon's Black Cherry is nothing short of perfection! One swipe of this lipstick instantly adds a moody, gothic twist to your makeup and it's a really simple way to take you from day to night for those post-office Christmas events. The only thing with these sorts of darker lip colours is that I do find myself a bit wary of smudging them around my mouth and looking like I've face-planted a black forrest gateau, but luckily that's never been a problem so far. This lipstick is easy to wear blotted on as a more sheer stain or built up to create a full on vintage vixen effect.
This pairing goes together like mulled wine and mince pies AND their names rhyme too (kinda)....coincidence? I think not. This is a duo made to complement one another and achieves the ultimate vamped-up combo.
