Review | Topshop Lip Stick

Recently I decided to take a step out of my comfort zone and go for something just that little bit different and more out there, orange lips is something I haven't seen on many people but those who I have seen look gorgeous! Such as Zoella - I feel make up wise we have quite similar taste and tend to have our lips as the more focal point of the look, I've always been into my reds and pinks but never before had I considered orange and i'm so happy I did as I'm in love with it!

Searching all over Boots and Superdrug I could not find a single orange lipstick I wanted to try, in the end I gave up and carried on with my shopping. Later on that day I stumbled upon this bright orange lip stick in Topshop. This shade is called Hedonist and I immediately fell in love with it and knew I needed it in my collection!

The colour pay off is great, it is very pigmented and easy to apply. The pen/pencil type product makes application that bit easier; especially with such a bright colour you need it to be applied perfectly. It is very soft and creamy and is quite moisturising to the lips. 

 After the product has sunk in and been sat on your lips for a while it can start to feel a tad drying after about an hour or so, that is the only negative thing I can say about this product. This problem can be fixed though, I just applied a small amount of clear lipbalm over the top and it did not effect the colour at all and made my lips feel soft again. Once the lip stick has been on for several hours I feel like it becomes more of a stain as it has slightly faded and is not as bright, it is still a nice colour and I don't feel like it looks like I need to apply more if I don't need to. The faded colour slightly reminds me of crosswires by mac.

I haven't tested this out with many different outfits but for someone who tends to live in monochrome I feel like this is a perfect pop of colour and something different rather than just reds or pinks. For someone who is a bit more out there than I am; i'm sure it would look amazing with so many different outfits but if you are like me a simple jeans/discopants and a white tshirt with this is fab! Or for an evening out this with a simple LBD is perfect and not too over the top!

Overall this product is completely worth the money and I would 100% repurchase this! (may even have a cheeky little shopping trip to pick up some of the other colours) For only £8 this is a complete steal! Also if you are a student with your 10% off I got this for £6.20 which is amazing!
