Lipstick...it's just so fun. I have really been loving reds this season, and in turn the more pink-sh shades somewhat dissolved into the background.
Since I recently made a purchase from TopShop, I bought myself a new pink in the shade Petal Pink.
I first went to TopShop because I wanted to check the store out, and was drawn to the makeup, more specifically the lipstick, though I bought some cream blushers as well.
I heard the quality was comparable to Mac's, and that is just what I need right now. I am finished purchasing from Mac because they are no longer cruelty free. Still, they were my favorite, and only, lipstick brand.
I will gladly say that TopShop's quality is categorized with Mac. I don't know about the longevity, though, since I haven't worn this a whole day yet.
I am so happy to have this lovely addition to my lipstick bin. It stands out against all that black casing. Designing containers based off TopShop would be wise - they are adorable!
This Christmas I received a new Mac lipstick (yay!!!) and it was in the color Chili. I had actually chosen the color from online browsing on the website and instantly loved it. I had an appointment to get my makeup done at the Mac counter and asked them to use Chili when applying lipstick.
To be honest, I was a tad disappointed with the color since it wasn't the color I expected. I still love it and have grown to like it more each day. However, I expected something more red-ish, but this color was a rusty orange color.
I bought a different color instead and left Chili behind, but it found its way back to me this Christmas. Anyway, I wore it a few times already, and now I am very grateful I have an orange-y color in my collection now. I always shied away from orange colored lip tones, but they are undeniably becoming more common. So now I have one, and I really love it.
Summer is lighter, peachy tones, warm colors, and shine. Fall came and went (for me, anyway), and now winter has set in. It's time to pull out the wooly sweaters and scarves and store away the tank tops and sandals. In addition to switching out my summer wardrobe for my winter one, I also went to the mall today and bought myself one more winter-y shade of lipstick.
It was by Mac (pictured below) is a fairly dark red in the color Sin. It comes out as almost a burgundy color when applied (the first coat). I must say that it has a cool undertone, which reminds me of the colder months. It goes on matte, which is also trending this season. (By the way, I meant to take pictures while it was fresh out of the bottle, but I accidentally nicked the very tip.)
