A good friend of mine was in London recently and I had a small shopping list for her which included a few items from the Topshop AW10 Heavy Duty Collection.
I’d asked for Topshop Lipgloss in Gloom (£7.50), a sheer berry gloss with a toffee vanilla scent.
It contains rainbow sparkles that show up under the light and it applies smoothly without being too sticky. Although it isn’t pigmented, I do like the soft/bitten look it imparts.
I’d also asked for Topshop Bold Liner/Chunky Crayon in Graphite (£7), a fat eyeliner pencil.
A burnished pewter, this fatty pencil will make a nice base for some of my smokey shades, especially the browns.
The gold is a little too much for me but I think it will be subsumed by darker shades.
In addition, she’d purchased Topshop Eyeshadow Duo in Thunder (£9), a sturdy pewter case of two beautiful and complementary shadows in a teal and a gunmetal.
Lastly, my dear friend picked up Topshop Nails in Lead (£6), a complex blackened grey swirled through with metallic plum and green shimmer. I had expected it to be a pure leaden grey, so this was a complete surprise!
Total haul damage? Only £29.50 (≈ S$63)! ;)
wow nice! will this collection be available in singapore?
Hi Bel,
I’m not sure. You might want to call the store to check. :)
OMG i wish Topshop would land in Hong kong!!
Hi Jennifer H,
Oh but you have so many luscious Japanese brands (Jill Stuart!) available to you! :)
Sighhhhh … wish I had also asked for the Lead nail polish! It looks awesomeeeee! :P
Hi Kas,
You could buy it if it arrives here. I doubt it’d cost more than S$13, the regular price of their nail polish range.
Nice haul! The lip gloss and the polish look exceptionally lovely. Any chance of Gloom being shown when applied? :)
Hi Lynn,
I don’t have a pic of that but trust me, it’s sheer! ;)
Hi Mag, let me guess, the dear friend who got you this haul must be Iris of Rouge Deluxe? ;) I enjoyed reading her blog too ;)
Hi Esther,
It wasn’t Iris but she has made several CPs for me before. I would’ve mentioned it if it was her. ;) :)
wow ! exciting range…. can’t wait to get my hands on them…maybe it will be avail at the huge topshop knightbridge store next to paragon… counting down man !!
Hi Elizabeth,
I hope the makeup range will be available at more Topshop locations too! :)
