Dearest Topshop..

If you've read the latest Elle (UK), you'll have noticed Topshop are releasing a makeup range courtesy of Lizzie Dawson. I've peeped around online and a lot of other bloggers and magazines seem to welcome the idea with open arms; what do you as a Topshop customer think?

‘We wanted to offer fun, adventurous products on the high street at an affordable price' says Lizzie Dawson. This seems reasonable enough, the packing is fun and I'm sure the colours will adhere to the seasons key trends. Perhaps Topshop will break the mould by creating a fun and adventurous brand that changes each season catering for the trend followers that can't afford to buy new colour palettes from the likes of Chanel, Dior etc every season.

I myself however am a self confessed makeup addict. My makeup bag is ridiculous, I'm not a massive risk taker with makeup, as it enhances my looks. I (try to) use makeup to make myself look and feel better, as opposed to using it to create a character, as such. So, because of this I find myself sticking to brands that I know work and suit me i.e. Dior, for my mascara, Chanel for my eyeshadow, YSL for my lipstick and thus the list goes on. I guess it entirely depends on you and your personality; me? I'm not a trend follower, I am to a degree, I use the trends to suit my classic taste but other than that, no thank you. I'm not a girl that suits pale lips and slicked back hair, others do however and for those out that there suit experimenting then let me know how it goes as I'd be lying to say I'm not intrigued..
