Depth

Usually, I like to keep my lipstick and makeup in general quite subtle. If anything I usually make my eyeliner/eyeshadow the boldest out of all, but I decided to go ahead and buy the topshop lipstick in the shade "depth". This is the dupe of Mac's lipstick "media". It's such an amazing bold colour and the packaging of topshops lipsticks are so cute. 

The lipstick is a deep purple colour that is extremely pigmented when it's first applied however it doesn't last very long throughout the day and I had to re do it a few times.

What I love about this lipstick is you can apply it very light and dab it in to make it a light purple/pink shade, but you can also build up the application to make it as dark as it can be. 

The lipstick looks black in it's case and is rather scary at a first glance, but on the lips it is more of a deep purple colour.  

I love this lipstick and I think it's perfect for nights out and special occasions like Christmas or birthdays. It's not the type of lipstick that I would wear out on a daily basis, but for evenings out I think this lipstick is perfect. It makes you look asif you made some effort with your makeup which is always a winner.

It's very moisturising and glides straight onto the lips. It doesn't really smell of anything which I do like in a lipstick. If a lipstick smells nice then obviously that's a bonus but for me I have always managed to pick lipsticks that smell awful, so I would rather no scent!

It is such a unique colour with a rich glossy finish and I can't wait to find an excuse to wear it again!

Current Favourite Topshop Nail Varnishes

My current favourite nail polish's by Topshop are...



Number 1: Plume
Number 2: Adrenaline
Number 3: 3D
Number 4: Brazil

So, let's start of with number 1... PLUME! 

My first impressions of this nail Polish were that it is a very pretty and unique shade, I haven't seen anything like it!  It is a gorgeous midnight purple colour, however it has a duo chrome effect with multi dimensional glitter that gives it a purple to blue to almost pink appearance depending on which way the sparkles catch the light. With all of this going on it appears almost metallic which has been in fashion for a while now! However I found it quite patchy when applying to my nails, it took three coats to get a decent covering without it looking streaky. One thing I hate is nail varnish that applies streaky, it just puts me off using it again. It dries in an incredibly slow time and stays sticky for a while which makes it a very long process. 

However I don't have that problem with "adrenaline".






































This is a beautiful sparkly and glittery baby pink shade and it's one of my favourites at the moment! It dries in a bearable amount of time and is such a pretty colour too! I have been wearing it for 3 days and there is no chips or scratches which I feel is an essential in a nail polish! It looks better on top of another colour, and the sparkles are much more defined, however for school or work this is perfect on its own as it is very subtle but so pretty.


Now, let's talk about 3D...






































This nail polish is very thin and looks better ontop of another colour rather than on it's own, it looks great over plain black or blue nails! It's a gorgeous green-blue shade of sparkle and it is an essential in every girls collection! I feel like this nail varnish is my least favourite, as it takes at least 3 coats to get a half decent amount of coverage and only really looks nice on top of another colour.

My final favourite for today is this beautiful sparkly nail varnish called 'Brazil'. It's extremely similar to the American apparel galaxy glitter nail polish! It's a clear based polish packed full of rainbow coloured sparkles and glitter! It's a truely beautiful nail polish and  it looks great on top of matte black or fushia polishes! Here's an example of what it looks like ontop of pink! It's gorgeous!


There's so much I can do with all these beautiful nail polishes and I would 100% recommend all of these to anyone! They make a great gift and are only £6 each! What a bargain for such perfect nail polishes. They are all great for all year round, and they last an extremely long time too.
