Topshop Splurge

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">No, no, before you scootch your bumbums to the edge of your chairs anticipating a Topshop clothing haul, let me rain on your parade- I bought no clothes! I never actually buy clothes from Topshop. Mainly because I have a fat ass and Topshop doesn't accommodate this and also because there isn't too much in their that really suits me. Meh.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9DA0COeL_Y8KgpEklrqTl_BG9qhAO7yc_H51V4TTqeBvKDc277oS7-RWYGYkNWqY8BKumI18dkK_BRdui7XEJlTyz_gR8aE0R6ryhrbjyIo1KOErZ99ypBci4A1bmVvyKePDYm-aBXScY/s1600/IMG_5546.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9DA0COeL_Y8KgpEklrqTl_BG9qhAO7yc_H51V4TTqeBvKDc277oS7-RWYGYkNWqY8BKumI18dkK_BRdui7XEJlTyz_gR8aE0R6ryhrbjyIo1KOErZ99ypBci4A1bmVvyKePDYm-aBXScY/s640/IMG_5546.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What I do love from Topshop though is their <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208495&beginIndex=1&pageSize=20&interstitial=true"><strong><span style="color: magenta;">make up range</span></strong></a>.

It would have been rude to walk past and not stop by. Thirty eight English pounds later, here is what I came out with:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8k9T0oLheaafPyrtJgGOdKWqVckc3DVSMnzTdjPQn6p95SX3J63q9iPldE-OaE73excW6qtSqyxbcN2XdDAPILkScsG8qGoQshE6PSnqtDB3eJTL-TQ2Rntn3lyEndW82bEdKBqwFzVsh/s1600/topshop+haul.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8k9T0oLheaafPyrtJgGOdKWqVckc3DVSMnzTdjPQn6p95SX3J63q9iPldE-OaE73excW6qtSqyxbcN2XdDAPILkScsG8qGoQshE6PSnqtDB3eJTL-TQ2Rntn3lyEndW82bEdKBqwFzVsh/s640/topshop+haul.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since buying these beauties, I have loved the lipsticks so much that I've bought two more- oopsie. The lipliner in 'Fearless' is the PERFECT accompaniment for the lipstick in 'Brighton Rock'.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcx87RhmTZby023MprURuqgCxOEfijZogI_6PeRpIEE6nH-4K99A9ntBKJsUaK9x64tb0wroZY-n61bY8Y7bk4M3odHFmspJ2GFFOetZOOhQ5fD-tr4dFVz5zyXt1YwI7ihzkVwB19GTk/s1600/barrym.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcx87RhmTZby023MprURuqgCxOEfijZogI_6PeRpIEE6nH-4K99A9ntBKJsUaK9x64tb0wroZY-n61bY8Y7bk4M3odHFmspJ2GFFOetZOOhQ5fD-tr4dFVz5zyXt1YwI7ihzkVwB19GTk/s640/barrym.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whilst I meandered round the makeup (and bumped into Barbara aka ThePersianBabe of all people), I spotted a rather expansive Barry M counter and couldn't help but have a gander. I always check out Barry M because I love their pigments and have quite a little collection now. This particular counter seemed to have a much wider selection of shades than my usual ones, so I took full advantage and bought three more dazzle dusts. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think they are all really gorgeous spring shades and will look lovely blended with other colours or patted all over the lid.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiiEN46IMfEG4p9Eo-aszCkS8Ewx7t_vNptHnOg0O-BcYn99Igt1q2Dw001exDKScoLlL66gfQupdZreZiKkKTBUb6RpjcUAaCajlfs801sWMBMHGBBbiVHzrFhQhYmDeZt3Ih1FHD-bJq/s1600/IMG_5554.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="434" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiiEN46IMfEG4p9Eo-aszCkS8Ewx7t_vNptHnOg0O-BcYn99Igt1q2Dw001exDKScoLlL66gfQupdZreZiKkKTBUb6RpjcUAaCajlfs801sWMBMHGBBbiVHzrFhQhYmDeZt3Ih1FHD-bJq/s640/IMG_5554.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pretty!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinYvUjPrWrgRyNyp4ZgVlO6uX5jaoudwnbLKViBQGSqzks0iIhbhhDIzH4WPQ07J7069CpNxTCuEQAGCg-rrx87k5qyo8ZSTrgkYGfGdfxL0GyL6Rom5-cxvecuNNXE7dfnlw_6pd6t6vo/s1600/IMG_5555.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinYvUjPrWrgRyNyp4ZgVlO6uX5jaoudwnbLKViBQGSqzks0iIhbhhDIzH4WPQ07J7069CpNxTCuEQAGCg-rrx87k5qyo8ZSTrgkYGfGdfxL0GyL6Rom5-cxvecuNNXE7dfnlw_6pd6t6vo/s640/IMG_5555.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On to the pencils. I love them both. A lot.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Coal' eyeliner has now become my absolute favourite and I will definitely be repurchasing when it runs out. It's darker than dark, smudges beautifully, stays on all day (where I left it too!) and gives the perfect smokey vixen eye. It's true love I tell thee.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Fearless' lipliner is my second ever lipliner and is fantastic with 'Brighton Rock' lipstick. It glides on effortlessly with no stressful skin tugging and makes a brilliant base too. Since buying this, I have a lot of faith in Topshop lipsticks and will be looking into more.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZXRNTEjvhjXHYagm3MZBRQVdu2nX5syjJLwFuTCK0hFDJE4i7QPDdhSvTCLC1MAgvO4zJ5vzSoUhX1JM3fgTYffS42_LJ_7OMnteFTX2mJ7oSpDjAh9omHu18WzQhbMySiKRG0deILUUM/s1600/IMG_5548.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZXRNTEjvhjXHYagm3MZBRQVdu2nX5syjJLwFuTCK0hFDJE4i7QPDdhSvTCLC1MAgvO4zJ5vzSoUhX1JM3fgTYffS42_LJ_7OMnteFTX2mJ7oSpDjAh9omHu18WzQhbMySiKRG0deILUUM/s640/IMG_5548.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I won't go on too much about the lipsticks because I recently made a video featuring them, but in a nutshell, they're great, get some!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Creamy, pigmented, long lasting, non drying, what more could you want?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5exNW5tCMZsIHwURkP5IQKilnmSj1GCLQry3ll9IY6KH65etWGJnX1V3vCRbQTbo9WCC4p6eSkmgM6hcHuR2Wtvmzu252jnA8kdBhmhBxWSzEIkd_boCXrLkXQJpePPnNsGTBf6lVPMy/s1600/IMG_5549.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="394" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha5exNW5tCMZsIHwURkP5IQKilnmSj1GCLQry3ll9IY6KH65etWGJnX1V3vCRbQTbo9WCC4p6eSkmgM6hcHuR2Wtvmzu252jnA8kdBhmhBxWSzEIkd_boCXrLkXQJpePPnNsGTBf6lVPMy/s640/IMG_5549.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">How much do you love the packaging?
