Topshop Lips Lipsticks | £8 - £9 each

Hello lovelies, I hope you all had a great weekend! Today I thought I would do another Topshop lipstick review. I have already reviewed Infrared and Confession (read the post HERE) but I thought I would make another post about the latest additions to my collection! As you may know, I'm a huge fan of Topshop's makeup and I feature their lipsticks quite often on my blog. I'm always looking to expand my collection so if there are any shades you think I should try, please let me know in the comments!

Ditsy | £8 | LINK
First up is my latest Topshop lipstick called Ditsy which is a hot coral shade that is beautiful for Spring and Summer. I absolutely love wearing corals during the warmer months and this is the perfect colour for me! It has a slight pink undertone to it which makes it very easy to wear, especially if you're wary of brighter orange shades. The formula of this lipstick is amazing as it's creamy and smooth to apply. Plus the pigmentation is also great and it gives you an opaque finish in just a few swipes. I also find this lasts a long time on the lips and only budges when you eat or drink! I haven't seen this shade being talked about much on blogs which is a shame as I think it's my favourite Topshop lipstick shade! Definitely worth trying if you like colours like this.

Crystal | £9 | LINK
The next lipstick is actually one of Topshop's lip tints in Crystal. This lipstick reacts to the PH of your lips to create a unique shade of pink that suits your skin tone. To be honest, the reason why I picked up this lipstick was because how beautiful it looks in the tube! It's a slightly transparent pink that has loads of glitter in; it actually looks like one of those pretend lipsticks you'd buy when you were younger! When you apply this lipstick, the colour doesn't show too much straight away as you need to let it develop. Once it's developed you're left with a very pretty pink shade with a fair amount of glitter. The formula of this lipstick isn't as creamy as the standard lipsticks, in fact it's quite hard, yet it is still very easy and smooth to apply. Also the glitter isn't at all rough on the lips and actually feels very soft just like a balm. As Crystal is a lip tint, it does last very well on the lips and will stain them for a few hours, but doesn't dry out your lips throughout the day.

Ohh La La | £8 | LINK
 My final Topshop lipstick is Ohh La La which is a coral blush shade. This is probably my least favourite Topshop lipstick however I do still think it's pretty, just quite difficult to wear. As it's quite a light coral shade, it can look a bit odd against my skin tone but I do still wear it, just paired with a lip gloss that adds a bit more colour. I find the formula just as nice as the other Topshop lipsticks however when applied, it can be a bit patchy and uneven. This is why I think it's essential to wear a lip gloss with it to even it back out. Again like Ditsy, this lipstick does last a long time on the lips which is something I love about the Topshop lipsticks! If the shade was a little brighter and was even to apply, this would be a lovely lipstick for this time of year!

So these are the latest Topshop lipsticks I have added to my collection. I think they're all such lovely shades and I already have my eye on picking up some more like Macaroon! Like I said, if there are any shades you think I should try, do let me know!

December Favourite's

December is one of my favourite months of the year. I love all the Christmas and New Year celebrations, spending time with family and justifying chocolate as breakfast. I can't believe how quick the last year has gone and now going into 2013, I want to show you what products I was loving in the final month of 2012.

Topshop Lip lipstick in Ohh La La - I'm slowly becoming a huge fan of Topshop's lipsticks and decided I wanted to add to my mini collection. "Ohh La La" is a pretty coral blush colour. I love these sort of colours and wore this paired with the lip gloss on Christmas (see the look HERE). The pigmentation of these lipsticks is great and the apply really well. You can see a full review of the Topshop lipsticks HERE.

Barry M Nail Paint in Rose Quartz Glitter - this is one of the prettiest nail polishes I have ever seen! It has small and large pieces of silver and pink glitter and looks beautiful as a top coat over a nude pink nail polish, especially Nails Inc's Elizabeth Street.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Lotion - I got this in the Soap & Glory 'The Best Of All' gift set (which itself is well worth picking up if you see one) for Christmas and I have used this every evening before bed. The smell is lovely, with: almond, cocoa, yogurt, oats and honey, it's literally my favourite scent at the moment. It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and the scent lingers on the skin for a good amount of time. I also like how it has a pump applicator so you don't end up wasting lots of product.

♥ Real Techniques Buffing Brush - I received the Real Techniques Core Collection brush set for Christmas which I was really excited about. The brushes are soft and are great for applying makeup. The one that stood out for my was the Buffing Brush and I think it's great to apply liquid foundation. It leaves my makeup smooth, streak free and almost gives my skin an 'air-brushed' affect. I'm so glad I finally got my hands on this brush set!

Barry M Lip Gloss in Coral 11 - I can't get enough of Barry M's lip glosses. I featured one in my last favourites post and now I have a new one I've fallen in love with! This gloss is a coral colour with no shimmer and I think it goes perfectly with the Oh La La lipstick. The smell is, as always, amazing as it smells like the fruit salad sweets!

What are your December favourite's?

Review | Topshop Lips Lipstick


"Velvet finish lipstick to smooth, moisturise and nourish lips. Apply for fabulous colour and moisturised, matte finish, wear alone or with gloss for a shiny finish." Topshop

Topshop lipsticks are usually talked about as being as good as MAC or any other high end lipstick, just with a cheaper price tag of £8-£10. For a while, I wasn't too fussed about picking these lipsticks up. I had tried other shop's makeup like Miss Selfridge before, and to be honest, it wasn't that good. In fact, it was shockingly bad! But after seeing so many good reviews on these lipsticks, I decided to pick up a couple.

 The two shades I have are: Infrared (a bold, red orange) and Confession (a bright, hot pink). Both of the lipstick's formula are very good. They are both very pigmented, so when you apply them you don't have to press really hard or keep swiping it across your lip. I'm so glad that Topshop's makeup is this pigmented, you can get other lipsticks from actual makeup brands for the same price that are just terrible! They are also both really moisturising and smooth to apply, but I always like to wear lip balm underneath to keep the colour even. The lipsticks also have a kind of strong fruity smell, which I'm not sure if I'm that keen on but I'm sure others will enjoy. However, the smell does fade after applying the product, so it doesn't bother me that much. As for staying power, these lipsticks are quite good and will usually last around 3 hours before I need to reapply.

The packaging of the lipsticks (and the whole makeup line in general) is probably one of the nicest makeup packaging! I love the drawn on design and it definitely stands out from other brands. However, I do think the light cream/ white colour they chose wasn't the best idea as it can get pretty grubby after a while of sitting in your makeup bag.

What are your thoughts on Topshop's lipsticks?
