My first thoughts when trying on this lipstick (as soon as I got it home) were "my, doesn't this look like NARS Bolero Velvet Matte Lip Pencil" (review here) which a lot of people say looks like Topshops Coy. I would say that Whimsical is more nude, a much more played down version of Bolero and Coy - for all those who were wondering.
This lip product has been on the endless gh0stparties wishlist for yonks now and I finally picked it up yesterday when the Topshop sale didn't leave me wheelbarrowing clothing to the till.
I'm not your biggest matte lipstick fan, actually let me rephrase that; I want to be the biggest matte lipstick fan but when your lips are as dry as mine, it's just not on the cards, baby.
I think this sort of shade is the perfect colour for my skin tone, it goes with the blushers I usually wear (Benefits Hervana today if you're wondering) and makes my blue eyes pop against my fair skintone.
I think most skin tones could pull this off actually, it would look equally as beautiful against tanned and dark skins in my opinion.

I don't find the formula too drying, but my lips need to be having a good day in order to pull this off (read: lots of maintenance beforehand) and for eight British Sterling you can't really turn it down.
What do you think of Whimsical?
Looking for a review? You might find it in my product directory!
It looks like a really pretty shade and suits your pale skin xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour, looks lovely! I suffer with really dry lips too which means I tend to avoid lipsticks completely, would love to hear what your tips are?! xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous colour ♥

ReplyDeleteI have slightly yellow-ish skin so I'm not so sure I could pull it off (boohiss!), but I love it & it looks beautiful with your skin tone!
ReplyDeleteMy skin is yellow too so it should suit you :)
DeleteOh,this shade suits you perfectly. So pleased you reviewed as I've been eyeing up this colour on the Toppers website for a while. I recently bought Topshop's Hazard Lippy but my lips are definitely too dry for it so I gave up on that one. If you could do a 'maintanence for dry lips' post sometime soon, that would be amaz... I'm rubbish at makeup! xx
ReplyDeleteI shall try :)
DeleteThis is such a nice shad but I feel like it would suit paler skin tones best. x

Your hair looks lovely here and i feel like the nude colour of the lipstick makes you look younger?! I can only wear matte lipstick when i've had vaseline on them overnight and they're properly moisturised ox
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shade, really suits you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour - I have the same issue with dry lips though, it's ashame as I adore matte lipsticks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty colour, I've not tried any Topshop lippys before but they sounds pretty amazing!

You picked the perfect shade for your skin and eye colour for sure, you look so pretty! I just love the fact that the lip colour matches your skin tone and eye colour, and also the top you're wearing. How do you pick lipsticks so perfectly? Do you try them out before you actually buy them or do you know naturally which one suits you?

Top Shop JUST opened up here in Vancouver but (according to my friend who went to see the opening) there aren't any makeup available yet. I'm dying to try out the cream blushers and lipsticks that all the UK bloggers have been talking about.
ReplyDeleteLove this colour on you! I still need to try topshop lipsticks! x
ReplyDeleteLovely shade on you. Your hair is getting so long now :) xo
