topshop lips; secret admirer

TOPSHOP lips in secret admirer £8

After posting about my undying love for my MAC Créme Cup lipstick a few weeks ago, the unthinkable happened.. It melted! So heartbreaking *sobsobsob*! So when in Cardiff last Friday I was going to get a replacement Créme Cup, (third of this year) but saw this shade in Topshop + did a little happy dance as I thought I'd found a pretty decent dupe!

Like Créme Cup, Secret Admirer is soft, nude pink with a smooth, creamy finish. I was quite surprised at how hydrating this lipstick is seeing as it is quite pigmented too. I don't think it quite has the thickness or lasting power that MAC lipsticks have but being almost half the price (with student discount) you really can't grumble! I'll probably repurchase Créme Cup + keep this Topshop shade for everyday wear + for my night out handbag. Overall very happy with my find, have you tried this shade yet or know of any dupes similar to this one?

  2. This lipstick looks gorgeous on you! I have Creme Cup and I'm not sure if the colour suits my skin tone so I'm wary of this one on me as well. xx
