Topshop - Ceramic lip liner

Hello everyone! I'm here today with a review, TOPSHOP lip liner in "Ceramic"

It is a nude, I am not a huge nude lip girl I love bright, statement lips. Red will always own my heart in lipstick shades The color when swatched on my hand is a lot darker but that's only due to lighting it is very natural looking. I am wearing it as a solo color as I don't have any nudes that would match this. 

The pigmentation is great but TOPSHOP lip products have been known to be compared to MAC who is known for their fantastic color range and pigmentation. It does last long even through drinking and eating. 

Dried out my lips horribly...I feel like maybe if I had worn a balm or moisturizing lipstick underneath it would have been much better. Overall I'm still not sure if I love this pencil. 

I like that it's great for subtle looks but I'm more prone to the exciting shades of lipsticks, it's the one thing people always are mentioning about me.

What are your favorite lipsticks?

MAC - Russian Red (Matte)

Hey! I'm back with a quick review of my FAVORITE lipstick.  I'm sure a lot of people will know what it just by the pictures, it's the infamous Russian Red Matte finish lipstick by MAC. I am a sucker for matte lipsticks in my opinion they look better than any other finish on the market,

The above swatch was one swipe, MAC is known for their well pigmented products. Yes it's a matte and that means it's trying, now I have an addiction to Blistex Medex balm so I have no problem in the dry lip department but if you do, be warned before wearing this it would be a good idea to scrub and put a balm underneath. 

Russian Red lasts for hours on me, just about a full 8 hour work day, I generally re apply a couple hours before the end of the day as it will fade within the middle of your lips if you are drinking or eating a lot. I give this lipstick a 10/10 but I'm a lover of reds and mattes!
