Topshop Lipstick in Satorial

This is my first go with a Topshop lipstick and I have to say I am tres tres happy with it. I was after a more orangey shade of red as I normally opt for the pinker shades so thought I would have a bit of a change. I am now officially in love with this lipstick, it has in fact taken pride of place over my over my MAC lippys and is in my favourite makeup compartment (Sorry MAC, I am not leaving you, it’s just a brief affair, remember you were my first true love)

What do I love about it, the texture, the packaging, the smell and of course the colour! That bright pop of colour is lush – it’s not a slutty bright red, more of a fashion red (does that even make sense?) well I think so anyway and it’s on my face. I would not say it was long lasting, lipsticks never are on me because I am always snogging the face off my man (ok NOW its slutty red) but seriously lipsticks never last on me and I hate those lip stains, so the only answer for me is to keep on reapplying. Did anyone ever used to use Lipcote? When I was younger EVERYONE went through a phase of using it and it used to STING LIKE A BITCH.  Can’t comment on what it is like now though, like I said I have not used it for years :-s

I nearly went for the lighter orangey shade Ohh la la as shown in the pics at the bottom and I took ages to decide, although they do look quite similar in the swatches. Infact they look very orange in the swatches - defo comes out more red on the lips (I am wearing it in my profile pic). When in the shop I asked for the hubbies opinion out of which I should buy, his comment was `urgh not that orange one’ referring to the lighter shade. Obviously he was drawn to the red....
