Topshop Makeup Haul



Topshop had a bit of a great sale with their makeup recently. We bought a few things to test them out so this review is a mini haul of topshop makeup!
Their makeup range is really affordable and amazing quality. Their products are all made in Europe so you know its being adhered to strict standards and we believe their makeup is just as good if not better than more expensive makeup brands we love.
We bought a few brushes that are all made out of synthetic hair. They are really soft and great brushes if you need something affordable. 
We also picked up a nail art dotting tool which we are really excited to try out on some future nail art posts :)

I have read so many great reviews about the Topshop Long Lash mascara so I thought I would give it a go ! 
I'm all about plastic brushes, you can really work the product on your lashes without clumps.
It reminds me of the L'Oréal Butterfly Effect, Maybelline One By One, Covergirl Clump Crusher, it separates the lashes perfectly, add length and volume. I really recommend this mascara, it's better than any of my drugstore mascara.

This gel liner reminds me exactly of the M.A.C Gel liner. The consistency of the product is very similar as well as the fact when this liner is applied it won't budge. I actually had this liner on for a couple days because just washing my face with cleanser and not having any eye makeup remover, it wasn't easy to get rid of. If you are looking for a liner that is more waterproof and don't want to smudge, definitely invest in a gel liner. Applied with the "Liner" brush (also bought at topshop) it gives the perfect winged eye to your makeup look.

The Dammed is a great purple shade that can be worn day or night and very easy to match with any outfit. It is a great creamy consistency that is almost in between a matte and a gloss lipstick. Really easy to apply with a rich colour payoff. If you are looking for a type of lipstick with a bit more of a POP but not too pricey definitely check out the Topshop Lips rage. There is so many amazing colours to choose from, you wont be disappointed.

I love the Brighten Pen, the formula is light which is perfect as I am applying it in a triangle shape under the eyes. You don't want a thick and creamy formula, it would be too cakey. 
They had only one shade "moonlight" which is not a high coverage so it suits a lot of people. You can always go back very lightly with your foundation brush to add a bit of colour. 
I use it everyday on top of my concealer, extends it where I'd put highlighter and back next to my nose. 
It really makes a difference and illuminates my face. 


Have you tried any of these products ?

Too Faced - Better Than Fales Lashes Mascara

Written by O.M.



Lets talk about how amazing fake eyelashes are! They look incredible and make you feel like a celebrity when you wear them on a night out with the girls but let's be honest, the whole process of putting them on is so annoying.

I was at Mecca Cosmetica a few months ago looking for a mascara to give me looong lashes and the lady told me there is a mascara called "better than false lashes"
My first thought was 'pfft that's a lie' she showed me the 'Too Faced' section which had the mascara 'better than false lashes' she talked about it very high so I gave it a go!

Ladies.. ITS BETTER THAN FALSE LASHES!!! 

Not only is it as simple as putting on mascara like we do daily but it looks so much better than the false lashes that some of us struggle with !

With three simple steps to this amazing mascara your lashes will be looking longer than ever !!

Step one:
-You add on one coat of the Activating Mascara Base & Top Coat (The long gold mascara)

Step two:
-You add the Nylon Lash Fibers (Small white mascara) Make sure you don't get the fibers in your eye as fibers don't feel very nice on your eyeball!

Step three:
-Get the Activating Mascara you used on the first step and go over any of the fibers.

And that's it! 

One of the best things about this product is that it's not tested on animals.

In Australia, this amazing Mascara can be found in Mecca , Kit and Myer. Also on their website (Which is free shipping when you spend over $50!! Love that!)

AU$52.95
32€ (Sephora)
£32 (Boots)
