Lipstick Love

I have been shopping around for awhile now for a new lipstick. I love wearing orange shades at the minute and I already have a sort of subtle orange shade which I bought in Topshop 'Ooh La La'

This time I wanted a more vibrant colour. Topshop have so many different oranges, really vibrant colours but I could never bring myself to pick out a favourite in this sort of shade. I recently then picked up this Maybelline lipstick in Boots and I love it!

Although this colour is said to be a red, it really is more of a deep orange. It's just the exact colour I have been looking for. The fact it is a deeper shade of orange than most makes it so suitable to wear even on nights out. I think it is perfect for anyone who loves wearing a red lip but isn't ready to let that ship sail. It is a really fun summer colour, keeping with the bright lip only slightly more subdued and also a warmer shade than bright pinks,etc. 

I am definitely going to be wearing this colour loads throughout summer now. Whats your favourite lip colour to wear this season? Anyone else loving orange lips right now?

Something New

So recently I went on a small shopping spree. Most trips to topshop involve buying clothes so I was interested in trying there makeup range. It has been around for quite awhile but I have never actually tried it.
I was very interested in their range of lipsticks as the bright colours are very suited for summertime! I'm usually one for sticking to what I know so when it comes to lips I stick with red but this time I went for a more orange toned which is quite a change. I love how pigmented the colours are! I also tried one of there lip crayons in the colour 'suspect' which is like a berry red. It's perfect for a more matte finish but also suited if you prefer a darker lip at this time of year.
Topshop have one of the best range of nail polishes I have seen! They seem to have every shade and are also very reasonably priced! I went for two purple colours this time. Out of the two I bought I really loved the colour 'velvet underground' which is a very dark purple colour.
While out shopping I also picked up a book 'The perks of being a wallflower' The movie was only released recently and I really wanted to go see it. I thought however that it would be a better idea to read the book before watching the film. I used to be a serious bookworm but honestly haven't read a book in years so this is going to be a challenge in itself but I will keep you updated!
