Topshop Lip Crayon in Royal
Topshop Lip Crayons: £7*
new finishesAs I mentioned in my last Topshop Lips review, I noticed Topshop has reformulated and relaunched a few of their Topshop Lip Crayons. I've done individual shade reviews but popped it all in one post for ease! Overall I do like them, apart from the shimmer finish one as I just cant see them being that wearable. However they are nice, deeper darker additions to the Topshop Makeup line. I really like the new glossier pencils too but I find them on the whole to be a lot more messier and end up a melted smooched mess even under normal temperatures.
Topshop Lip Crayon in Arcade: This is a super glossy darkened plum shade, A perfect addition to the Topshop lipstick line which was really lacking darker and deeper shades. It's quite sheer but can be built up in layers. The formula is of a gloss compared to the usual matte formula of these Topshop Lip Sticks. I find the formula to be slightly unworkable as it sits too much on the surface of my lips and tends to gather around my lip line and in the corners on my mouth. This also melts at the first sign of heat so be VERY careful. My tube is currently smothered in glossy plum lipstick and I've only tested it a few times.
Topshop Lip Crayon in Secret Party: I'm not keen on this shade at all. Although it looks quite red in the tube once applied it looks fairly dark pink. The formula is odd, quite sheer, but build able but it has a cherry red glitter going through it which I just cant warm too. The finish reminds me of something that a little girl would get as a gift for Christmas. I just don't think it's that flattering or pretty on the lips thanks to the shimmer. It just screams childish and it's just not that wearable as the holographic metallic look isn't for everyone
Topshop Lip Crayon in Royal: Royal is my favourite of this bunch of lip pencils. It's a neutral cherry red lip crayon with a matte finish. For a red I think I actually quite like it on me, it's striking without being too much and the matte finish makes it wearable on a daily basis. Unlike previous Topshop Lip crayons I didn't find it very drying on the lips and overall felt much creamier and less chalky compared to the previous shades. It feels smooth and soft on the lips and doesn't enhance any dry patches at all. Absolutely gorgeous formula and I cant recommend it enough! I'd love if some of the chalkier Lip Stick shades (I'm looking at you Powder Room!) to be made more like this.
I love all three of these shades, especially "Royal" I have never tried these, but I have a Topshop voucher left over from Christmas, so I deffo think I will get a couple of these! xx

Arcade looks absolutely stunning on you. Shame it didn't work so well as the others. Would have been lovely if they just kept it matte like the others!

ReplyDeleteWow, you look like a beautiful princess Lily, Royal is beautiful..thank you very much for sharing this...
ReplyDeleteWHAT CAN YOU NOT PULL OFF!!? You seriously look great in all lip colors! How jealous I am. I can never pull most dark colored lippies you put on up there. You look so good!

Royal looks amazing on you! Catherine xo
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the Royal shade! I received the Ted Baker lip crayon tin for Christmas, so currently stocked up! xo
ReplyDeleteRoyal is stunning! The orange version of this that you blogged about a while back is on my 'to buy' list the minute I get back to the UK so going to have to add Royal to that as well. These look more wearable during the day rather than the lipsticks

I love the look of Arcade, but wish it had a matte finish.. Glossy darks don't suit me!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of arcade, although I hate lipsticks which rip of and your only end up with colour around the edge of your lips and in the corners, so I'd probably stay clear of this one, although I love the matte finish of royal, I'm a massive fan of matte finish lipsticks and I can't seem to get enough of them at the minute! Love your blog as always :)

I'm in love with all three shades! Not a fan of Topshops actual lipsticks but I may have to purchase these! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm a massive fan of the Topshop lipsticks, the shades are amazing! I'm always fussy when it comes to trying new products but I guess that's how I discovered what I love now, may have to go in and do a few cheeky swatches of these :)
ReplyDeletewow I love royal! I only recently got my first topshop lipstick and I love it, I will have to look out for these I have never tried a lip crayon before :) x

wow! love these colours! Xx

I thought Arcade and Royal look great on you! you should wear more vampy colours they suit you and not many people can pull them off :).
ReplyDeleteRoyal's pretty different too, i've only ever bought the lipsticks i'm definitely going to have to try the lip-sticks :)

I really like the last shade, Arcade, looks like it's very flattering and would suit most people
ReplyDeleterabbitholesxo.blogspot.co.uk
they're all so pretty! I'd love to try arcade, I've had quite the obsession with plum lips lately.. x
ReplyDeletehttp://www.glalamorous.blogspot.co.uk
I hope the arcade isn't too glossy, it has been on ly list to try ever since i saw the tutorial on the website. Although after seeing RoyalI am slightly more swayed x

Arcade is a beautiful shade - it would probably make me look like a vampire but I love darker shades like that x
ReplyDeleteArcade looks stunning on you and is different to your usual. You should try out Mac's 'Rebel' x
ReplyDeleteI really like these lipstick, have quite a few colours including secret party which I like very much but I think it that sort of pink works best on pale/blonde people. Royal looks lovely, might have to go and pick that one up next
ReplyDeleteOh god I wish they sold Topshop make up here in Iceland!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try some of these out, they look lovely.

they all suit you so perfectly but the arcade is the best! It goes with your hair and skin colour. I own arcade too but its a little bit annoying when i have to moisturize my lips and when applying it it makes it all messy :/
ReplyDeleteArcade looks amazing on you, very vampish! x
ReplyDeleteI really want to try these!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely, I really like the plum one on you :)
