Topshops upcoming makeup line

What do we all think? So far, I'm hating the packaging! No doubt it's gonna be reasonably expensive but uurgh! It looks tacky as hell.

ahhh looks kind of cheap, you no. but i bet its gna be overpriced.

Ug. Super cheap looking. Reminds me of tesco makeup.

i think the packaging turned out really cute!

so far ive tried the lipsticks, the lip crayons and the lip polish.

i like it.

i don't really like the packaging. meh. i'd give it a try, but topshop doesn't exist here!

I had a look at the line yesterday and wasn't wholly impressed.
The packaging is actually quite nice - its matte, silky and substantial. The prices are okay, but only okay considering theyre basically a drugstore brand. I mean, £5 for a nailvarnish is a bit steep.
Pigmentation of the eyeshadows was pretty average, the white/grey combo was awful. Lippies were quite synthetic - ergh, and really limited in colour. Lip balms were a bit icky. Blushes were nice though!

I was hoping to pick up a couple of shadow duos, balm and the "nude" lipstick (v orange though) but ended up only buying a matte top coat for my nails... it's great though! a lot cheaper than china glaze matte magic too. i liiikee!

i got the lipsticks in brighton rock and rio rio.
ive yet to try rio rio but i LOVE brighton rock. it went on quite bright at first but settled down and seemed less garish. I put it on this evening at about 6 and it lasted throughout snacking, burlesque class and dinner. I did use liner underneath though.

I got the lip sticks which are like crayons. i got them in flame and rosa. i really like them! the colours are nice, they went on well and it was a really nice idea having a chunky pencil to apply with. i think its a great idea.

i got the lip polish in rhubard aaaaand another colour - one of the reds. i really like it as a more subtle colour.

again - i like the packaging. it looks simple but its quite cute and i think it fits the topshop brand. i like how the polishes have a tiny mirror in the lid for applying it. I guess it is a tiny bit overpriced (i'm used to boots 17 £3 for a lipstick type of stuff) but it isn't too horrendous.

i thought id share the video tutorials i found through topshops blog

they seem really simple and easy.
they may not be the best but i like them

ok so like most things topshop - im addicted!!

ive been wearing their lipstick - brighton rock all week and i love it.

ok so just to show you all, i've bought -

eye crayon in black jack

I played around with this earlier a little bit. I lined my eye with it as you would eyeliner and it looked ok. I also put it all over my lid and smudged it a bit for a quick smokey look - like in the video I posted last time. Any other ideas? It's really nice but when I tested it, it smudged really easily so I think it would need a primer and it might stick then.

crayon in moonshine

So I have no idea what to do with this or anything but I fell in love. I swatched it on the back of my hand it it's amazing. It smudged a little but still stuck really well. After working all night in the bar and washing my hands - it was still there after aaaaages. Also it caught the sun and had all of these other colours in it and looked amazing. But fuck if I know how to wear it!

I bought lipsticks in rio rio and brighton rock

and I love them!
Rio is just reddish and well I love red lipstick but I'm in love with brighton rock. It went on really bright and I was like shit no. but then it settled and it looks really nice!

I have the lip crayons in rosa, flame and vintage

and I love them! Its such a nice way to put on lipstick! I like rosa, as its like brighton rock but a bit brighter - the website pictures dont look the same. vintage is so nice tho! I wore it today and it's kind of pale without being too pale that it looks stupid.

I got polishes in [urhttp://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=20&viewAllFlag=false&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=206989&parent_category_rn=206987&productId=1627691&langId=-1]rhubarb[/url] and coral which are nice because i hate wearing lip gloss but they give that more subtle colour.

and finally i got this -
lip and cheek tint in bitten berry

it looked like fake blood when i tested it but blended in and looked really nice when i smudged it in. i havent worn it properly yet. bit scared to try it on my cheeks.

OH and i tested the blushers - they're cream/creme but when you blend them in, they go like powder and they seemed pretty nice.

gah ive spent a lot on this stuff but ive worn it all! i love it!

ach. im addicted.
i bought the kohl pencils in a blue and a petrol green. i love them.
i got the mascara and eyeliner pen too and love them.

but my favourite thing. i bought the nail polish! i got gypsy night which is a black colour with glitter in it. but its not typical glitter...theres like bits of copper coloured bits in it and its not thick. i put a base of black underneath which worked better. i also got stolen sapphires which is a navy blue colour. usually my nails chip after about a day - especially so when im at work taking money in and out of the till. but nope. this lasted all week.
