Pillow Talk lipstick – Topshop £9
I must confess that I hadn’t given much consideration to the Topshop makeup range before now. I always feel a bit suspicious when fashion retailers branch out and introduce beauty ranges to their already brimming repertoire. When it first came out, I was rather dismissive – I was in Topshop for clothes, not lipstick. However, as the stands slowly started to dominate more and more of the floor space, it was hard not to be sucked in towards the cutesy polka-dot packaging and plethora of products. Obviously the first items I lurched towards were the lipsticks; and Pillow Talk seemed to be the obvious choice. It’s pretty, it’s pink, what more do you want?!
The consistency is lovely and velvety and gives a subtle, glossy finish to the lips. It reminds me a little bit of MAC creme cup; a soft baby-pink. It is a very easy colour to wear, nothing too daring and doesn’t require careful execution and a handy mirror to apply it. One thing I really dislike is the scent of this lipstick. I think I have been living in a sweet vanilla-y cocoon of mac lipsticks for too long – this smells a little bit over-perfumed and old-lady-like. It is a nice lipstick, but nine pounds’ worth of niceness? I am dubious.
Have you tried anything from the Topshop makeup range?

Absolutely gorgeous colour! I thought this looked lovely online but wasn't sure if I could trust the stock photo but after seeing it in real life I'm going to have to buy it! x
That colour looks lovely on you x
Oh my goodness! Literally LOVE this colour..
It's the Topshop colour I've dreamed of.. Looks great on you too!
That looks absolutely gorgeous. x x
I love the colour. Have to have a look at it next time I get to topshop.
I own 2 cream blushes out of the range and they're pretty good. Give a lovely fresh looking, glowy finish and you only need the tiniest amount. You should have a look at those.
Ooh this looks really pretty!
the colour is pretty, nice lip swatches.
Lovely!
I use Topshop's lipstick Innocent! It's so nice and similiar in colour to that listick! However the packaging is white which means it's permanently messy from my make up bag! Loving the fact that lipstick is in a black case, think I may have to buy 🙂 x p.s I love your blog! Your cupcakes from the other day look so yummy!!
I've wanted this for the longest time! Looks like a gorgeous shade xo
Oooooh gorgeous I love it, may have to purchase! I have a few things from Topshop makeup – the blush in neon rose which a lot of ppl really like and is now one of my go-to blushes, a lipstick call ooh la la which I LOVE, my new favourite lipstick! And the liquid eyeliner which is the best liquid liner I've tried! So Topshop makeup gets a thumbs up from me! xxx

I like their lippie 'Brighton Rock', which was one of their first releases… it's quite drying though, kind of reminds me of Barry M lip paints x
I haven't tried anything from Topshop…but you always make me wanna buy things *sigh*…
Have a good day Millie!
Such a lovely shade, if it lasts for a decent amount of time then I would say 9.00 is ok!
Love this colour i've been searching everywhere for this exact shade eeeek 😀 love the blog too hunni
lots of love charlie x

Blushes for sure! Head Over Heels id gorgeous!
Love the colour. I love Creme Cup, it's probably one of my favourites, so I'll be having a look out for it then next time I'm in TopShop! I've only tried their eyeliners, which were pretty decent for creating a smudgey/smokey line, and the nail polish, which I found chipped easily even with Seche Vite topcoat 🙁 Shame, cos the colours are lovely! xx
This is a lovely colour 🙂 x
such a pretty colour!

I always mean to pick up a few bits from the Topshop range having been initially dismisive of it myself. It wasn't until I saw a Vogue cover of Victoria Beckham where the makeup used was solely Topshop that I thought it was likely to be better than I was giving it credit for. I'll be making a beeline for their lippies now! x
You know, I haven't really given much thought to the Topshop beauty range either! This lipstick looks lovely and I adore the cotton-candy coloured pink.

the make up counter always catches me just before I pay! i am loving their lipstick & eyed this up last time I was in. May have to purchase now as the colour looks lovely on you! xxx
this is a gorgeous colour!!!… i too am a bit dubious when it comes to high street stores producing make-up, and to be honest i'd much prefer a lipstick from an actual make-up brand =)

I haven't tried any of the TS makeup range *shock horror* I'm not a huge makeup buyer, so everything just seems to have to be bought before it
this however looks gorgeous, and I may just have to purchase x
I have three of their lipsticks now! love them!

I featured this in a post a few weeks ago, and since then, can't find this in any Topshop stores near me hahaha, just my luck, eh? A shame about the scent, I think I'll still pick it up when I finally find it! (:
So random, got this in Liverpool t'other day and was going to blog about it! I absolutely LOVE this lipstick!
xoxo
Another cheaper alternative for the exact same colour is Rimmels Lasting Finish Lipsticks in "Pink Blush" and it's only between £4-£5 🙂

This looks like a really nice color, I'll have to look into Topshop lipsticks now – I'm always on the lookout for the perfect baby pink.
I love your blog, and would love if you'd take a look at mine and follow it if you like it! It's brand new:)

I'm so glad they've changed the packaging, my Hazard has gotten so disgusting looking because it's so dirty and you can see all the silver base of the tin- not good Topshop!
Such a lovely colour. Maybe I'll get something from their range after all, was a bit ducious about it!

It looks great, however as with most things in Topshop it is overpriced! I think I will stick with popping to Boots for my make-up still xoxo
This is such a pretty colour on you x
I have the Topshop cream blush in Flush – it's an amazing product with a fantastic pop of colour x x
I was told by the girls in Topshop that the make up range is made by Mac.
The colour is gorgeous!! Might have to buy it after seeing this, I was like you and a bit dubious towards the range – I still do think £9 is abit over priced for a high street brands makeup range but it does look stunning!
Love the colour, looks so sweet ♥ xoxo
i havent tried anything from the topshop range… it looks lovely on you although im super pale so colours like this dont really work on my skin tone 🙁 booo

saw this online and looked like a lovely colour! i might have to buy it as it looks even more gorgeous here xx
So pretty! Reminds me of MAC one – like you said. I also have similar (but brighter one) from Barry M. 🙂

Gorgeous colour!! Suits you so much! Xxx
Its a gorgeous colour I think i may have to get it! xx
This looks a lovely colour. I love the head over heels cream blusher, not sure if its still available in the shop (its not online) but its a lovely colour xx

the colour is quite lovely. wish i had a TopShop close to me.!

I was so close to buying this then was put off by the £9 price tag.. I'd rather pay £13.50 for a MAC lipstick I think :/ Wish they were more around the £6 mark! Lovely shade though and looks gorgeous on you xx
Lovely shade of pink, def a must have.x
Glad to hear this product was good, although £9 is a lot for a brand not normally associated with make-up. I tried one of their nail varnishes about a year ago and it was pretty terrible. Chipping and flaking etc!
wow this colour is gorgeous! i have been looking for a pink this colour and this is perfect! thank you for sharing! 🙂
