Topshop are known as a highstreet clothing brand yet they also have their makeup line nowadays so we decided to test out a few bits from there. today were reviewing their lipsticks as you will have already guessed from the title of this blog post!! duhhhh! So we bought several of their nude lipstick shades and also a few of their darker brown shades. the packaging is a matte white lipstick tube that feels really sturdy, definitely not cheap feeling at all. when applying the lipsticks to our lips we noticed how creamy the lipstick was and also how pigmented they are!! omggg! the pigmentation of these lipsticks is insane!! we absolutely love them and shall definitely be adding more to our collection!! the only problem is, is that because these arent matte lipsticks and theyre a creamy satin finish, they dont last all day and you would need to reapply after eating, drinking and kissing, meaning that unfortunATELY, THESE LIPSTICKS ARENT KISSPROOF. BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A SATIN FINISH LIPSTICK, WE TEND TO EXPECT TO REAPPLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH THESE TYPES OF LIPSTICKS EVEN IF THEYRE FROM A HIGH END BRAND. OVERALL, WE'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THESE LIPSTICKS AND THEIR FORMULA AND CANT WAIT TO SPLASH THE CASH ON THE REST OF TOPSHOP'S LIPSTICKS!!! the lipsticks retail for £8 each which isnt too bad a price for a highstreet brand and we certAINLY recommend to you, because the topshop lipsticks are beauty blog approved!!

Gorgeous mAKEUP DOESNT ALWAYS have to come with a hefty price tag which is why we have compiled a list of our 5 favourite drugstore lipsticks for fall in one list!! Although the list is numbered, we have put them in no particular order as we aren't able to choose our absolute favourite!! 1. Makeup Revolution Lipstick in shade - Rebel With CauseThis shade is great for autumn as it is a dark pink/plum colour so it's on the purple end of the spectrum, perfect for the autumn months. it goes on so smooth and has great long lasting colour and staying power, especially considering this is a creamy satin finish lipstick. great pigmentation and colour pay off, does take a few swatches to get full opacity. it also has a lovely berry smell to it but it's not too overpowering which is good because sometimes this can steer you away from wearing the lipstick. really great quality lipstick and this retails for only £1 on tam beauty which is an absolute bargain! to purchase this lipstick, click the picture above and follow the link. 2. I Heart Makeup Lip Geek in shade - I worked for it!This shade is similar to the 1st lipstick in this list but is a little bit darker and has more purple undertones in it which we think is absolutely perfect for autumn, teamed with a smokey eye or even just a more natural eye look, so to make your makeup look a bold lip look. this lipstick is super pigmented and lasts all day with the need for touch ups after eating which is understandable with creamy satin finish lipsticks. the packaging is also gorgeous, doesn't feel cheap at all and it's ALSO GIVING US MAC lipstick vibes! we definitely recommend this lipstick shade to you if you like lipsticks with purple undertones and if you do, you're in luck as you wont have to break the bank to get it with it retailing for only £1.99!!! To purchase this lipstick, click the picture above and follow the link. 3. Makeup Obsession Lip pan in shade - BloomThis lipstick is another gorgeous puprley shade which is deeper than the first 2 and swatches as a dark purple/plum shade, stunning as a autumnal statement lip. this lipstick is a little bit different to the first 2 on the list as its not actually a lip 'stick' but rather a lip pan as it comes in a pan, similar to what you would get an eyeshadow in, this is easier for makeup artists and for those of you who like to be organised and keep all of your favourite pans in one magnetic palette! the great thing about this is that you can remove the pan from the packaging and add it into empty or magnetic palette to design you own! this does however mean that you would need to apply the shade with a brush but that shouldn't bother you too much as the shade is gorgeous, super pigmented and retails for £2!!!! to purchase this lipstick, click the picture above and follow the link. 4. Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro IN SHADE - Blindfolded The pigmentation and formula of this lipstick is amazing!! its super smooth and creamy and so comfortable to wear, lasting all day with hardly any need to touch up! this satin finish lipstick is a gorgeous vampy red/brown shade that would look stunning paired with a smokey eye. the only fault we have with the lipstick is that it can be a little patchy but that's easily sorted with a few more swatches over the lip to even the coverage out and for £2.49 we cant really fault it!! to purchase this lipstick, click the picture above and follow the link. 5. Makeup Revolution Matte Lipstick in shade - Members Clubto finish the list off we had to add a gorgeous matte lipstick shade! now this shade is for those who prefer a bold lip as it is a very deep purple shade, verging on a black but we absolutely love it, especially for the autumn months. it retails for £3 so it is the most expensive on the list but still very cheap for a lipstick and the quality of it is amazing. the packaging is gorgeous, this another one giving us mac vibes and the lipstick itself is insanely pigmented although can be a tad patchy which is understandable for a purple or any dark lipstick for that matter, but can easily be made opaque with a few more swatches over the lip with it. to purchase this lipstick, click the picture above and follow the link. The Pinkprint is a Light nude pink and is one of two lip products in the collection with the limited edition mac x nicki minaj packaging. as soon as we began to apply the lipstick to the lips, it was quite clear to see that the lipstick is very pigmented! Before we applied it, we thought it was going to look quite odd, as really pale and really opaque nude lipsticks are usually quite hard to pull off, but we thought it was actually pretty wearable by itself. we still feel like the shade was a little bit too light. this shade from nicki minaj's collaboration with mac is definitely beauty blog approved P.S. If you’re interested in checking it out, the limited edition MAC X Nicki Minaj collection is at counters and online now, retailing at £16.50.
Lipstick queen is a brand that we have created a partnership with, so we thought we would test and review one of their lipsticks. The jean queen lipstick is said to have A rich pink hue that perfectly offsets the blue of denim. The innovative formula keeps lips soft and hydrated whilst giving a glossy shine that contrasts the matte of denim to give you an edgy, stylish look. When testing the lipstick out on the lips, it was clear that it is a matte lipstick with good pigmentation and its a beautiful nude colour which is something you can wear day to day but can also be paired with a bold eye look for a glam look. the lipstick seemed to last a while but because it doesn't dry down, its not kiss proof and so you couldn't eat with it on and you would have to continue to reapply throughout the day. overall, the lipstick is really creamy, not drying on the lipsticks, its got great pigmentation and the colour is gorgeous and so the jean queen lipstick is beauty blog approved

We've decided to review another one of Ciaté London's lip products, so that we can fully support them during our partnership. this time we're reviewing their liquid velvet lipstick. it retails for £17 on their uk website which we feel is quite a good price point for a drugstore lipstick. This liquid lipstick consists of 7 shades. we tested out the shade bitter sweet, which is a grey mink shade, when putting it on the lips it gave off high pigmentation and was a really creamy and soft consistency. the shade was beautiful, really complimentary for olive skin tones. The liquid lipstick dried down quickly to a beautiful matte finish and didn't feel drying at all on the lips. we loved this lipstick from Ciaté London and it is beauty blog approved

here at the beauty blog, we are now in partnership with Ciaté London and so we want to try out some of their bestselling products... So we decided to purchase their glitter flip Transforming Glitter Liquid Lipstick. on their website it claims to be another #WORLDFIRST innovation. it says the Glitter Flip is a transforming metallic liquid lipstick with extreme glitter finish in multi-dimensional shades. There are 7 shades of this magical glitter lipstick, ranging from pink to teal to black. so we tried out the pink and the black, which are the darkest and lightest shades. before we started to test the lipstick, we had an idea of how it would act and thought it was a bit of gimmick but upon applying the lipstick we noticed it had a subtle glitter sheen to it on the lips and when we pressed the lips together we were absolutely amazed that it had worked!!!! we absolutely love this product, It's made the Glitter lip look so much easier and the pigment of 2 shades we purchased was great. WE just hope that Ciaté will bring out more shades soon because we think this is going to be a massive hit! The Ciaté London glitter flip is most definitely beauty blog approved
