Topshop Velvet Lips in Velveteen Ribbon

Topshop Velvet Lips in Velveteen Ribbon £10.00

Reading through multiple beauty blogs I discovered Topshop's Velvet Lips a couple months ago and felt a need to try it out. At first I was a little scared since they weren't online and Topshop in Denmark doesn't get all of their beauty stuff - but I found it in store!

The packaging is nice; the glass tube and the frosty top makes it very sleek-looking and pretty. I like the gloss-like applicator since it applies the product a lot more precise which is necessary with this one since it can (MIGHT) get a little tricky. 

The product itself is kind of weird for me. I absolutely love the look and finish. The color is a little off on the picture (sorry), it is less blue toned in real life. With two applications you get the sexiest dark burgundy lips that will stay matte FOREVER. The finish is so soft and velvety, just like the name. One coat works fine as well but you have to work quickly. Once it's dry it's very very very dry. 

It lasts forever as well - the staying power is insane, I have never experienced anything like it. It's almost impossible to remove which can be annoying when you actually want it off. I'm serious, it won't come off. 

Touching up during a night out can be a little difficult; I would definitely define it as drink-proof but when drinking and talking and what else happens it does tend to wear off at the center, which can make it look like you just terribly outlined your lips, and because of the dry, matte finish, when laying more over it, the parts with products left will just get darker and yeah - just be careful. 

Overall it is a nice lip product however I'm not a fan of it's stubbornness while removing.
