TOPSHOP LIPS IN RIO RIO | Glam Radar

Topshop Lips in Rio Rio is a bright, orange-toned red that definitely stands out! I had been looking at Topshop makeup for some time and was going to buy a nude lipstick, however this caught my eye and I just had to have it.Here is my review of TOPSHOP LIPS IN RIO RIO !v
I mentioned it in a first impressions post a while back, but I haven’t actually reviewed it yet (mainly because when I bought it I was ginger and therefore didn’t get that much wear from an orange-red) but now that I’m using it a lot I thought I should give it a review on the blog.
It looks neon on the sticker, but it’s closer to red The lipstick is, I would say, one of my favourite formulas. It doesn’t have a strong scent (yeah MAC, sort it out) and it applies in one creamy, pigmented swipe. The wear time is average for a matte lipstick (a few hours) and it’s definitely a product I’d repurchase.
The colour is really pigmented and opaque, which is what I look for in a lipstick (although if you’re not a fan of matte products then I can understand why you wouldn’t like this) and the range of colours is fantastic. Packaging is never a huge factor in whether or not I buy a product, but the spots-and-stripes packaging of the Topshop makeup is so cute, although it gets dirty very easily. I love that they put a little sticker with the colour on the bottom – it’s such a change from reading plain old names and makes it so much easier to find the colour you’re looking for!
The lipstick is very creamy and applies like a dream, however the only slight problem I have with it is that it feels quite drying on my lips after application, however, I have very dry lips and rarely moisturise before applying lipstick so that might have something to do with it! This colour is a dream with neutral makeup or a smokey eye, and it’s great to just add a little bit of colour.
My hands always look fat in these photos.
Personally I love this lipstick and I’ll be going back to purchase more in the near future. For £8 and the opportunity of student discount, you’d be mad not to try it!
