Topshop Makeup Review

I recently got my first lot of wages from River Island so of course I had to go shopping instantly (instantly meaning literally minutes after I found out it was in my account) I hadn't treated myself to any beauty products in forever so thought I'd go all out and with the helping hands of the besty, (who is the best/worst person to go shopping with as she encourages me to buy everything) bought lots of pretty new things! So I will be able to do some product reviews at last! First up is two items from the Topshop Makeup range which I have been wanting to try for aggess! 


1. Lipstick In 'Whimsical' £8

I usually wear light pink coloured lipstick so thought I'd go for something a little different and went for this orange/coral shade with the cute name 'whimsical'. I'm a sucker for cute packaging and the simple black and white stripes is something different from the normal plain black so that's a plus! The lipstick itself is really soft and creamy and feels really soft on your lips. The colour is really nice, not too bold so can be worn as an every day colour but if you do want a brighter look it can be built up with more layers. So overall, really happy with this and will definitely be purchasing some more in different colours very soon!

2. Blush in 'Head Over Heels' £6

 Topshop.com describes this as 'Lightweight cream to powder blush that melts into the skin giving a natural luminous, radiant finish.' I'd say this was a pretty good description. The colour is actually similar to the lipstick I got, this one being called 'Head Over Heels'. Again this is really nice to use and goes on really easily. I find the easiest way to apply it is to dot it on the apples of my cheeks then rub it in. It gives a really soft look and the colour is really cute, different to what I would usually use in a blush but definitely loving this change and for £6 you really can't go wrong with this one!
