The Damned - Topshop Lipstick Review.

Hey everyone!

I have a little review for you today on a new lipstick I spontaneously purchased whilst spending my birthday money last week. 

I actually saw a poster on the beauty counter for 'The Damned' (sold on the name alone) Topshop Beauty collection. The girl on the posters lips looked a beautiful deep purple/red colour and I made the massive mistake of not swatching the tester first! I saw the strip of colour on the packaging (see picture below) and assumed this was 'the one'.

When I got it open it looked still quite dark but once it was on it was more of a bright pinky-purple, but it's still a lovely colour:

With flash.

The finish is velvety but also has a good moisture to it so your lips are still smooth and lasted about 4 hours.

I actually ended up really loving the colour as the more I applied the darker it got and it went well with my hair.

Have you used Topshop lipsticks before? What did you think?

Topshop Make-Up Lip Marker Review.

Due to a heavy Hallowe'en weekend I gave myself the weekend away from blogging to rest from the madness, I had tonnes of fun and will be doing a post in the week when pics are uploaded (I didn't take my cam and my friend forgot hers). 

Today I was in Topshop buying my Christmas present from my mum - IT'S THIS. Awesome.

I saw some new products in the make-up range, they've actually been around for a month or so now but one item that caught my eye was the Lip Marker (I'm pretty sure it's part of the new Heavy Duty range anyway) - there was no tester but I felt brave so just bought it:

Lip Marker in 'Berry' - £7.50

When I opened it, I was like WOW because it looks like a felt tip!

I had heard this was a 'lip stain' so wanted to give it a go after reading THIS article.

You can wear the lip marker alone or add it to a layer of lipstick to add drama and give it a lasting effect.

Here I wore it alone:

As you can see it is a really bold red, however achieving full coverage was quite hard (mainly on the top lip).

I think I would re-try this marker with a lipstick underneath or over because straight after these pics I ate Pomegranate (like an animal with my hands might I add) and the marker had gone! I do love the 'stained' look, the only thing with this marker is I'd be worried about how long the pen will last as there is no way of telling and you have to apply alot for full coverage.
Oh and it smells and tastes like berries which is great!

Hope you all had a great Hallowe'en, what did you go as?
