Highstreet Lips - Review

Hello there,

When it comes to buying makeup, I would usually go to the typical beauty/pharmaceutical store as I know the brands represented there are reliable and good for value. However, over the past few years I have noticed that retail shops such as Primark, H&M and Topshop have all released their own brand of makeup. Little skeptical of the quality of these products, it was only last year that I finally purchased various items, in particular, from Topshop.

One item was a bullet.
Not the gun type nor the adult themed type. The Lip Bullet.
The name itself was the initial attraction for me. Might sound ridiculous but it made me associate it with words like strong, forceful and loud.

'Back In The Game' - £8

A sleek and modern design, it catches your eye without being over the top. A definite plus is the transparent lid allowing you to see the colour of the lipstick itself.
At £8, this is more than I would want to spend on a lipstick, I know Topshop prices can really vary; I'd be much happier around the £4.99 mark.

That being said, it was a well spent £8. I am so pleased with this product. The colour is gorgeous, it's bright and vibrant but not so you look like a clown, there is a hint of subtleness to it. The texture is smooth and doesn't flake when you apply it to your lips. After, you can see an understated shine.
                                                               

Beautiful colour!

Added bonus, the shape of the lipstick makes it really easy to cover your lips, it's broad with a defined point to reach the corners and curves.

This lipstick you could wear day or night. The longevity of it is quite good. Applying it at 7:30am, I only topped it up at work around 1pm. Even then it hadn't all disappeared, you could still tell I had lipstick on.

With this new found love, I went back and bought another bullet in 'There She Goes'. More of a nude/light pink shade.

Highly recommend this product!

Have you bought any Topshop makeup? What did you think?
Have a nice day!
