Topshop Sisters Of The New Moon Lipsticks





Last month Topshop launched their latest makeup collection. Its called Sisters Of The New Moon and the whole range looks rather gorgeous. I really love the packaging & the 'magical' image they're trying to achieve with it. Naturally as a bit of a lipstick addict I immediately gravitated towards the two new lipsticks they had brought out.


Charmed

Charmed is a beautiful peach colour. When swatched on my hand it looks like quite a scary bright orange colour but it becomes something completely different on my lips. Its very sheer and appears to be more of a warm toned peachy nude. The formula is very moisturising but not particularly long lasting. It really is a gorgeous colour though so this is one I'm happy to keep topping up with throughout the day.


Crystal

Crystal looks amazing in the lipstick packaging. Its a clear neon pink with silver glitter. This one isn't actually a lipstick, its more like a very nice lip balm. Its one of those 'magic' products that change colour according to the pH levels of your lips. On my hand it imparts a very pale pink sheen but on my lips it turns into a super bright pink. The colour lasts on your lips for ages even when the balm part starts to wear off. L'Oreal do a similar product but I think this one looks prettier even though the sparkles aren't too visible.


Charmed & Crystal

I love both of these colours alone but I think they look even better when you wear them together. The soft orange of Charmed & the neon pink of Crystal merge together to create a gorgeous coral colour. Each lipstick cost £9 so for £18 you can actually get 3 different colours from the two lipsticks. I think they're definitely worth the money. I find that Topshop's makeup products can be a bit hit and miss but these two colours are lovely additions to the range.


A few weeks before I got these I also picked up the infamous Topshop Pillow Talk lipstick from their last collection. Sadly I don't think its available anymore but it was too beautiful not to share. Its such a lovely pink that I can see myself wearing every day.

  2. They are so utterly gorgeous! I'm an absolute sucker for A)Pretty packaging and B)Pretty Names so I think I was hooked before I even saw them on you! They're so pretty, I love Charmed - what a lovely soft colour for those days when you just want a tiny hint of colour and then Crystal is very girly and cute - perfect! Great idea mixing them too that came out fab, it's something I'd never think of doing (makeup novice) so will definitely be having a play with my collection now!

    Have a lovely weekend chick!

  6. Charmed does look a bit bright at first but looks gorgeous on, as does Crystal! I haven't tried any of Topshop's make up aside from the nail varnishes, I feel a shopping trip coming on!

  10. I can't believe how different charmed looks on your lips than in the bullet and on your hand. The colour on your lips is much nicer! xxx
