Hey Beauties,
So the other day I popped into Topshop as I was passing on my way in to work, to check out some more make up and I picked up a lip liner and eye shadow because the colours were so preeettttyyyyy...
Matte Eyes in Painted and Lip Liner in Fearless
I've wanted a fuchsia eye shadow for some time now as I've always loved the smoky eye with an accent of pink that looks like it's coming through from behind. And I picked up the pink lip pencil since I'm bang into Topshop's lipsticks right now and wanted to see how they applied with it underneath. I wasn't disappointed with either of my purchases.

The lip pencil isn't the softest/smoothest I've tried but it does apply well and holds on to the lipstick really well, at least until I take it off or eat and the colour is really pigmented too which makes it a great buy for the price. I didn't find it any more drying than the lipstick on it's own either.

As for the eyeshadow, I actually used it as a blush first and it looks great on! I really like it as a blush because it gives a nice deep pink glow when applied really lightly. It's easy to blend on the cheeks and on the eyes it really pops but I need to wear other shades to balance it out as it's such a strong colour. Again, the pigmentation is fantastic and I'll be trying out a couple more shades of the eyeshadows, me thinks.

I've since popped back to the flagship Topshop store at Oxford Circus to pick up a couple bits for a friend and they had no lip liners in any colour other than nude and no gel eye liners, which I wanted to try out too. I did however, get a couple more lipsticks, a highlighter and a couple eye make-up brushes to test out so I'll be posting on them soon.
