Topshop Splurge

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

No, no, before you scootch your bumbums to the edge of your chairs anticipating a Topshop clothing haul, let me rain on your parade- I bought no clothes! I never actually buy clothes from Topshop. Mainly because I have a fat ass and Topshop doesn't accommodate this and also because there isn't too much in their that really suits me. Meh.


What I do love from Topshop though is their make up range. I actually reviewed the sandstorm range last year, so if you'd like to refresh your memory, HERE it is.

A couple of weeks ago I was in London for the New CID event and had arranged to meet up with Victoria from VIPXO outside the Topshop on Oxford Street. It would have been rude to walk past and not stop by. Thirty eight English pounds later, here is what I came out with:


Since buying these beauties, I have loved the lipsticks so much that I've bought two more- oopsie. The lipliner in 'Fearless' is the PERFECT accompaniment for the lipstick in 'Brighton Rock'.


Whilst I meandered round the makeup (and bumped into Barbara aka ThePersianBabe of all people), I spotted a rather expansive Barry M counter and couldn't help but have a gander. I always check out Barry M because I love their pigments and have quite a little collection now. This particular counter seemed to have a much wider selection of shades than my usual ones, so I took full advantage and bought three more dazzle dusts.

I think they are all really gorgeous spring shades and will look lovely blended with other colours or patted all over the lid.


Pretty!


On to the pencils. I love them both. A lot.

'Coal' eyeliner has now become my absolute favourite and I will definitely be repurchasing when it runs out. It's darker than dark, smudges beautifully, stays on all day (where I left it too!) and gives the perfect smokey vixen eye. It's true love I tell thee.

'Fearless' lipliner is my second ever lipliner and is fantastic with 'Brighton Rock' lipstick. It glides on effortlessly with no stressful skin tugging and makes a brilliant base too. Since buying this, I have a lot of faith in Topshop lipsticks and will be looking into more.


I won't go on too much about the lipsticks because I recently made a video featuring them, but in a nutshell, they're great, get some!

Creamy, pigmented, long lasting, non drying, what more could you want?


How much do you love the packaging? So fun!



I know they look VERY similar, but I couldn't help myself. 'Brighton Rock' is very candy pink, where as 'Confession' is a pinkish coral.

Ooohhhhh look at coal. Sooooo black.


Yes, I know this is a stupid weirdo face, but I HAD to pick it over the nice smiley-show-the-lipstick-snaps because there is a little monkey poking round in the back! Tehe!

Overall, I think that was £38 well spend and I'm really pleased with my purchases.

Have you ever bought makeup from Topshop? What did you think?

Toodlepip!

  4. Your little monkey is the cutest baby I've seen on Youtube so far - yes, even cuter that the ones who can't stop laughing, eating lemons etc. :D You are really blessed. :)

    I can't wait to visit Topshop makeup section when I go to England in April. Actually... I just can't wait to visit London again. But so far, greetings from Estonia! :)

  7. I love topshop make up but my town doesnt stock it so everytime I'm somewhere that sells it I always treat myself...probably to brighton rock next time, its such a pretty colour.

  8. I really want to be brave enough to try a bright lipstick, I just can't bring myself to do it!

    It looks beautiful on you though. And I have quite the collection of Barry M's too, and I also have some Gosh and Models Own ones, if they are glittery, and in a pot. I am there! Oh and I can't get enough of Body Shop Shimmer Cubes, they are my every day 'go to'.

    Baby Glitter peeping in the background is adorable!

    Keep up the good work!

  9. I've only tried the lipsticks from Topshop and I love Innocent (was suddenly inspired to blog about it today after seeing your Lipstick Favourites video!) but I might have to branch out a bit and try some other bits and bobs :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Awww I love Darcy's little peek! I got Brighton Rock the other day and very impressed with it, love a little bit of pink on my lips! :) x

  11. Oh my god, your comment about Topshop made me laugh, their make-up is better than their clothes anyway! Really love Topshop lipsticks, I have Infrared, and Brighton Rock - both amazing.

  12. I've just tried out my first topshop makeup product, which is a bright pink lipstick (which I've literally just did a post on!) and love it! I always see people rave about how good the products are but was never really interested in trying anything for myself. I definitely want to try out some of their cream blushes and the eyeliner in future! xx

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm a big fan of Topshop makeup too, and I always make sure I swatch one to two things every time I'm in there!
    Brighton Rock is one of my favourite lippies ever... I'll definitely be checking out that lip liner next time :)

  16. Nice to see a Topshop makeup review I've been questioning a purchase since it launched! X

  19. Oooh Louise after seeing this post I think it would be a crime not to get both of these lippies lol. Seeing as it's my birthday next week I may have to treat myself:):) What are the other two lippies you bought? xxx

    ReplyDelete
  20. i wish my local Topshop had a larger variety of makeup, i envy you! You made some awesome purchases today :) x

  21. "Mainly because I have a fat ass and Topshop doesn't accommodate this" - loved this, thats the exact reason why i don't/can't buy topshop clothes as much as sometimes it pains me when they have the occasional nice piece in.

    Topshop makeup isn't something i've had much experience with.... would you say the eyeliner would be good for the waterline?

  22. ive got loads of the eyeshadows but they arent that great. the nail polishes are A-mazing Im going to try the lipsticks out now =] xx

  27. Ooo 'confession' looks like a fabulous colour, I shall have to try that one. I have tried two other topshop lipsticks 'Beguiled' and 'Infrared' and I have liked them both. The texture of them are really nice, not too creamy but not too matt. You should try the shade 'Ohh La La' which is another pinky coral :)
    I want to get my hands on that nice black kohl pencil aswell!
    Great post!

  28. As much as I love high end make-up its just so much more fun to have this many products for the same price as one foundation! Definitely £38 well spent Louise! x x x

  30. Great post! Yea, I have purchased makeup from Topshop before. I adore their Skin Tint as a Uni foundation when I wake up and just cannot be bothered lol
    Can I ask your opinion on their lipsticks??I find that with MAC (esp. the nude shades) after an hour I get a white buildup on my lips and the colour looks flakey... gross I know. It doesnt bother me so much with the nudes but its so annoying with brights. In your opinion how is the staying power of these brighter colours?? I really wanna get that Brighton Rock colour but only if it has staying power??
    Thanks hun! :)

    Emma xx

    ps. Love your "little monkey" in the background! Now following you :)

  31. Brighton Rock is such a pretty colour!! But then I am biased because its where I live!
    I had a look at all the nail varnishes in topshop today, such an amazing array, but I didnt buy any as I just got about 15 when I was in Germany last week!

    ReplyDelete
  36. So i thought for the longest time that top shop didn't ship to the united states, but as I've just googled it..i'm happy to know i'm wrong! So now your expert reviews mean so much more now that i can buy each gorgeous product!!!

  44. I'm yet to try Topshop make up. Partly because, like you, I'm not a massive fan of their clothing, I think it's waaay over priced, so I rarely go in.

    Everyone says how great the makeup is though so I might have to check it out next time I'm in town!

  50. I've wanted a Topshop lipstick for a while but I wasn't too sure which one to get, Brighton Rock is already calling my name, so thank you for posting about Topshop make up! I love your reviews Louise, they are the only ones I really pay attention to!

  55. i absolutely HATE this post because now im having this unsquashable urge to go to Topshop and buy loads of this stuff - thanks Louise! lol! You have sold me 100% on that eyeliner, ive been on a quest for an affordable non-moving, very dark one for ages! Those lipsticks and that goldy pigment from Barry M also look gorgeouss! I've only ever bought one lipstick from Topshop and that was Desert and it was wayy too dry/cakey looking on me but im sorely tempted to go and have another wander around inside!
    you look stunning in that last photo btw xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oh wow excellent purchases! Hmmm I think I'd like to give Confession a go but maybe in a month or two's time (I'm still in a frosty-winter makeup mood!). I'm DYING to try the liners as they seem so good! Xx

  79. the 'confession' lipstick looks lovely, although i wish they swapped the names around, because the 'confession' colour is what i prefer but the name 'brighton rock' appeals to me way more haha! x

  80. I love topshop lipsticks, at first I refused to pay £8 because I thought they'd be rubbish or at less standard- how wrong I was. Might have to buy some kohl now too, seeing how black it is.

    But the lipsticks are such nice colours I think i'm going to have to get some. Rude not to really (: x

  87. Today i discovered how to use eyeliner properly for the first time and this post has persuaded me that I need topshop eyeliner in my life...and maybe the lipstick...and everything else. My bank account is going to hate me for reading this :)

  88. i have the kohl and blusher in head over heels and both are amazing; but the packaging gets messy so easy which is a shame; I'm relevantly new to the whole 'blogging' thing but i love your blog.
