A Little Topshop Make Up Haul

I've heard so many good things about Topshop make up but unfortunately, since I live in the middle of nowhere my Topshop is too small to stock it (I feel like I say something along those lines rather often...maybe it's time to move...).


Anyway on a recent visit back to civilisation I picked up these lovelies! I think for me, the standout products were the lipsticks.

I'm loving both of these right now but my favourite is definitely 'Whimsical'. It's kind of a nude, pastel, coral shade that looks really pretty on the lips. I don't know of a colour that's even similar to this and they're both comparable in quality to the MAC lipsticks. Add to this the fact that the packaging is beautiful and I now want them all!

Next I bought the cream blush in 'Head over Heels'

Now the colour I love. It's very similar to the lipstick in Whimsical and is a beautiful corally peach.

The formula on the other hand is just not for me. I've resigned myself to needing a powder blush as cream has no staying power on my skin. It does look beautiful and I'll be wearing it on days when I'm not going to be out for long. I've heard these can be used on the lips too so this may be my solution.

Some swatches:

Top: Blush in Head Over Heels, Middle: Lips in Whimsical, Bottom: Lips in Brighton Rock

My final purchase was a nail polish in Eclipse:

This is a gorgeous combination of gold, blue and green and looks different in every light. I literally cannot stop looking at my nails when I wear this (to the point where it's a bit distracting!) This is definitely one of my favourite things to wear on my nails right now.

Topshop make up gets a big thumbs up from me and now I want more of it! On second thoughts it's probably good that I live so far away from anywhere I can get hold of this stuff! Unfortunately for my bank balance, they stock it online here  

I think I'll be getting some more...
