28 Days of Kisses Tag - Day 8 = Topshop Lipstick in Pillow Talk

I'm not doing anything too exciting today, I'm going to try and get most of my college advertising assignment done. I hate leaving things til the last minute it stresses me out so I'm going to try and get it out of the way. I can't believe it's only 7 days until my birthday. I feel like I'm getting so old! I'll have enjoy the last few days of being 22! I feel like I should do something super special.Yesterday I went to the Butter London Spring Collection launch in Avoca. I had such a lovely time and the new polish shades are gorgeous. Loads of happy pastel shades which I'm sure all of you will love. It's so nice to catch up with other bloggers and get to meet some new ones too.As we walked into the event there was a big 007 style suitcase with pretty much the whole Butter London polish collection in it. I want one!! There's a picture of it below as I had to show it to you guys. The venue was so nicely decorated for the launch of the new collection, spring colours everywhere and lots of sweets. I showed super will power I'm telling you. I got three shades to try out, Kerfuffle, Cuppa and Jasper. One of the things I love about this brand is the quirky shade names. 

Here's some snaps I took at the launch...


 After the event Sian and I headed into Boots. Of course I couldn't leave without buying something, I think I seriously have a shopping problem. I picked up the new Maybelline The Rocket mascara. This product has been raved about at the moment so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I'll let you guys know if it lives up to the hype. I love mascaras, I'm always on the lookout for a new one to try. I convinced Sian to buy one of these aswell so it will be interesting to see what she thinks of it too.
As you can see in the picture above, I also picked up some new Essence bits yesterday. I love this brand, their products are so affordable which is great for students like me. I got a concealer duo and three of their new 3D eyeshadows. I love the shade names, they're so  fun! I went for pretty neutral all round colours as I know I'd get more use out of them compared to the other shades available. If you would like to see a review on these products let me know.
Today I'm using another Topshop lipstick on my lips. Pillow Talk is a gorgeous baby pink shade which has a glossy finish on the lips. I will say this though if you have dry lips Pillow Talk does show up all the dry patches. This isn't too good for people like me who get dry lips regularly. I like the packaging on this particular lipstick as it's quite different to the original tubes. I think it was brought out in their 2011 Autumn Winter collection, I know I've had this for quite a long time indeed! Like I said in one of my previous 28 Kisses post, I'd love to pick up some more Topshop lippies soon. I might be brave and pick up a vibrant shade, hmmm Infrared or Bright Rock. There's way too much choice for me how can I possibly decide. After looking through my makeup collection, I realised I bought a Topshop eyeshadow trio last year. It's the Atmosphere palette which is still available online and it's what I'm wearing on my eyes in the picture above. I totally forgot all about and it contains such a nice selection of  well pigmented shades. I haven't tried any of the other eyeshadow palettes from the range so I don't know if there good but I do love this one.

Have you tried anything from Topshop's makeup range?

    1. I know it's one of my favourite budget brands, they have some amazing products. I'll definitely pop up a review of the concealer soon. I tried it today and I really liked it so far. The packaging reminds me of Bobbi Brown's creamy concealer except it's see through. Ooh don't get me going on those new polishes, they are stunning xxx
