I recently blogged about the new Topshop lipstick in the shade Brighton Rock for £8. It's the first lipstick from Topshop that I've tried, I have read a lot of reviews about how much people love them but as you may know I'm not usually a massive fan of lip products. I wanted a lipstick that I could wear out and something that would be nice for Spring/Summer as well.

As you can see it's actually quite neon looking in the tube but it's not once you've applied it, it is still very bright but it's wearable. I don't usually wear lip products as I've said before because I don't really like my lips and don't want to draw attention to them, but I've learnt to embrace them and so I'm going to be trying brighter lip products! I love that it's matte since I don't usually like wearing lip products that have glitter/shimmer in, for some reason it makes me feel uncomfortable (weird I know!) - I think they suite other people, just not me. Even though it's matte it's not too drying as long as you apply a lip balm underneath, it's actually quite creamy.

I love the Topshop packaging as always, I think it's cute and slightly different to some drugstore packaging. It lasts a good 4 hours for me before it needs to be re-applied and in this time it does including eating and drinking which I think is a good measure of how long it lasts!

Have you tried any Topshop Lip Products? If so, what would you recommend?

Today I went shopping for a few things and I ended up buying myself more make up and some brushes! I feel like I can justify buying these things when I'm meant to be saving because I got some birthday money (which I felt I had to spend rather than save, oops).

I had seen so many people say how much they loved the Real Techniques brushes so I bought the Core Collection for £21.99. I cannot wait to use these brushes tomorrow morning but I took a few photos of the brushes close up before I use them so when I review them they won't be all dirty!

Next I went into Topshop and ended up buying a couple of bits of make up from there. I've never tried any lip or nail products from there but I have tried a couple of blushes and a highlighter which I love so I thought why not?! So I bought the Brighton Rock Lipstick for £8 and I'm wearing it now and I love it so far! It is quite bright but it's build-able and still wearable which is great. 

Finally I bought the Razzmatazz Nail Varnish for £6. It really caught my eye because I've not got any glittery purples and it just looks gorgeous. I was going to try their Peel Off Nail Varnish but I wasn't sure how much it would chip since you can peel it off and I'd not done enough research to decide so maybe next time!

(Excuse the state of my nails, I've not had time to re-paint them!)

This is what happens when I try and take blog photos whilst my kitten is around - he ends up attacking anything he can including my lens cap!

Have you got your eye on any make up at the moment?
