Topshop Lipsticks | Tempation & Sweet Orchid

I'd been eyeing up all the lipsticks in Topshop for sometime now and since it was my birthday, one of my best friends got me some. I pretty much had the colours I wanted chosen so it made the birthday shopping a hell of a lot easier for her. 

 

 The colours I chose were, Sweet Orchid and Temptation (In the order they are above.) Sweet Orchid is the prettiest pale purple colour I've ever seen on a lipstick.  It's probably a colour that won't get much wear but I really liked it. When it's on your lips it doesn't look purple, it becomes a quite pale pink with slight purple undertones. It's kinda vibrant and bright but still quite a neutral colour despite it looking quite hard to wear in the pictures. Although admittedly darker lipsticks suit me more. 

        

The second lipstick, Temptation, is a typical lipstick colour for me. It's a dark red colour and also comes out lighter when it's put on just like Orchid. It's not as dark as I thought it would be but it's still such a pretty shade. It's perfect for Autumn.


The swatches above show the two lipsticks side by side. The texture of the lipstick makes it super easy to apply. It's a really creamy consistency that is also a bad thing because I've already accidentally melted one a little bit by accident, safe to say I was not happy. Other than that they stay on well and Topshop have the pretiest choice of lipsticks to chose from. I especially like the boxes they come in, it makes them really easy to store and see which one is which. 

Anyone else enjoy Topshop lipsticks? I'd love to hear which are your favourites!
