Topshop has been fulfilling my beauty needs of late. I have always been a Mac and Bobbi Brown girl but since my first lipstick purchase (I did write a review on this - it's nestled safely in my drafts folder) I've converted.
My latest addition to my ever-growing Topshop Lips agglomerate is from their Autumn/Winter '14 collection - Mescaline - which is a shimmery gold lipstick, is part of their metallic range. I must be honest, I have never been a fan of wearing any sort of metallic makeup but this collection has swayed my opinion. I was instantly attracted to the gorgeous hue and ever so subtle shimmer it possess - the metal is subtle enough for girls of any shade to find their perfect match.
The problem most of us face with pearlescent shades is that it tends to make us look a bit 'old-school' (picture a 90's chick with a waterfall scrunchie, super high waisted jeans and horrible metallic lips) but this won't happen with this particular range of lippies, I assure you... Topshop is unrivaled when it comes to reinventing the classics.
This lippie is ideal if you want to give the metals a go as it's subtle enough for those who aren't confident about the change.What's really cool about it is that it's perfect worn on its own- during the daytime -or can be layered for a glam evening look.
