Orange is the word on everyones lips..

Hello everybody! 
Recently, I have noticed how many people are wearing orange on their lips! 
now, I don't blame them - orange is gorgeous, especially for spring. 
I've always got on with orange better than bright red so I've been wearing this colour for a while and I'm soo happy to see more people wearing it!


I've managed to dig out my favourites for you from high street to high end 
-theres something here for everyone to try! 

..First up! 

This is one of my favourites, it's got a really lovely Matte finish to it and the colour surprisingly lasts a really long time, which I was really impressed with due to the fact I don't buy much Seventeen makeup. The colour is a gorgeous, bright orange and I actually really love the packaging being a mimic of a Crayola, perfect for just throwing in your handbag and topping up throughout the day.


Secondly...

I was really impressed with this product, Its got a gorgeous sheen to it and its really moisturising (something which lacks slightly with the Seventeen Lip Crayon) but the negative to this is the colour fades a lot faster - It's sort of like the company has focused SO much on the moisturising property of this product the colour lacks slightly. 
But its perfect if your just starting out with bright colours & want slightly more subtle colour - its a brilliant dupe to the Clinique Chubby Sticks.

Third...

This lipstick is honestly gorgeous, Its slightly more coral than orange but the finish is a beautiful, velvety matte. This was the first ever 'Bold' lipstick I bought and was really impressed with the colour  and how it lasts on the lips, along with the way it looked. Recently i've really been loving the Topshop lipsticks and constantly tempted to buy more every time Im in there.


Last but not least...

I've saved the best until last... This is my most favourite lipstick ever, the colour is just so beautiful and because its a Lustre lipstick its a lot more moisturising, yet still manages to hold the gorgeous colour. 
-annoyingly... this lipstick was limited edition.. (best things always are...*sad face* but I know you can get it elsewhere on the internet & I would definitely recommend it!) 
BUT 
The other lipstick I really really recommend is MAC £15 - Morange.. luckily, this isn't limited addition and its un-doubtly one of the best orange lipsticks out there, its Matte and lasts beautifully, the colour is also gorgeous, lasts all day (or night) and is so vibrant.



Hope you all had a lovely Easter & enjoyed the post!

Topshop Lipstick - Whimsical

Topshop - Whimsical £8

Hello Everybody, 
Firstly, I couldn't keep this to myself as everybody needs to know about this lipstick and secondly, It's been such a sad, rainy day today I felt like I should do a pink, girly blog post just to lighten the day up a little :) 

Here it is.. the beautiful peachy-pink Topshop lipstick, Whimsical. 
The first thing I noticed was, of course, the packaging.. I really love the Topshop makeup packaging as its so aztec and unique, The packaging of the lipstick is also made of metal so it won't snap like plastic and smear all over your handbag (I honestly, can't imagine anything worse..) 


While looking at it.. the colour on the Topshop website looks really orange and coral but honestly, its not like that at all, its a peachy/pink-nude shade which comes out slightly lighter on your lips once applied, because of this, it gives your skin a gorgeous glow and makes you look a lot healthier in general. - a little bit of a pick-me-up I like to call it!


Iv never been too sure about the Topshop makeup... 
Iv always thought a clothes shop should stick to clothes..right?!

I'll be totally honest..There IS some Topshop makeup which I wouldn't touch .. and going by the 95% bashed up, unloved testers & price tag it just doesn't draw you in - I was expecting really chalky, unpigmented colour which would chap my lips on first application.. 
But in fact, I got the exact opposite!

I had heard loads of great things about this lipstick in particular and was really surprised how lovely it is to apply and, it being a matte - which tends to be really unpleasant to wear when its formulated badly, I was shocked how moisturising it really is! 

Its a brilliant lipstick just to throw in to your handbag and spring out the door with, its such a wearable everyday nude colour & personally.. I think every girl needs to get their hands on one of these gems!


xoxo
