TOPSHOP MAKEUP

As I'm not in the UK, I'm missing out on the Topshop make-up launch. So I'm researching from my laptop looking out upon the gloomy weather I had not expected although the colours of the lipsticks and nail varnishes are making me very happy indeed.  

All the SS10 make-up items used lots of bright tones that have been seen on the run way complete with glitter pots which would be perfect for summer festivals to natural eye colours and highlighters which are good for daytime. The basic make-up collection includes a bit of everything for everyone - girly pink lipgloss to black nail varnish to understated natural colours perfect with this seasons bright coloured lip trends. The collection includes main make-up essentials like blushers, skin tints, nail varnish, Kohl eye liners, Eye crayons, lip balms, lipsticks, lipgloss and other bits in a massive range of this seasons favourite shades.  I'm sure these items will become make-up bag favourite's and with there cute packaging who wouldn't want a make-up bag full! 

These are some of my best picks, I really could have picked at least 20 products.

Anyone who knows me, maybe even anyone that doesn't know me will have popped a guess about my love affair with lipstick from bright red to subtle pinks and corals, to plum purple even into black.

 I love the stuff. I feel naked if I have to go out with out it on.

I like the old-school glamour feeling of having a grown up tube of colour to paint onto your otherwise plain lips, Rather then the dull stickiness of lip-glosses that are tacky enough in colour and finish to have been a free gift in your 'hello' magazine, or even worse just concealer smothered across your lips to the point that you no longer have any. Gross.

Across the last few season's lipstick has revealed itself again, being a beauty must-have again and again. In A/W 09/10 being a dark palette of berry colours and for the brave blues and black.  This summer the lip trend is letting you pretty much have which ever colour you fancy. Bright reds being seen at Dior, Coral colours displayed at Prada and Purple at House of Holland. The trend also entails pastels and the bolder, brighter colours such as blue and orange, So fortunately for me the trusty lipstick is a keeper for this summer.
