Before you dismiss this shade as being too vibrant for everyday wear, think again. Nothing says low-key sexy better than a messy topknot, some winged out liner and a hot, hot, hot pink lip.

Merry Go Round
Topshop Beauty Lip Varnish, $18, lasted throughout a nine-hour workday, a cocktail hour and most of my dinner before the color started to come off. With that kind of staying power, you need a good office-to-work shade like this no-nonsense pink color.

High Time
Okay, so purple lipgloss doesn't seem the easiest thing to pull off, but with Radiant Orchid reigning supreme as Pantone's color of the year -- it's worth a shot.

Fun & Games
Last summer I held out for as long as I could, assuming crop tops were most definitely a passing fad. Clearly, I was wrong and thus way behind the trend. I've learned my lesson now and when it comes to the orange lip trend, I'm certain the color is here to stay. Bonus fact: this shade is suprisingly flattering on all skin tones.

Field Day
This hot pink shade gives your lips look-at-me color, while providing a little plumping action thanks to hyaluronic acid (which also lends a moisturizing effect).
After a long winter of darkness (both outside and in my makeup routine) I'm ready for summer makeup collections full of light pastel washes and punchy brights. Enter Topshop Beauty's summer 2014 makeup collection and I'm head over heels in love with each and every piece. Topshop's new Sheer Lips, Lip Varnish and Lip Paints were inspired by the iconic lips of model Kate Moss (the perfect match for all the Kate Moss for Topshop fashions perhaps?). And while the lip colors are nothing short of wow-worthy in bold colors and both matte and glossy finishes, the pastel nail polishes in the summer makeup collection are perfectly understated. The Best part? Every piece is under $25. I'm making a vow right here and now to forsake pricey department store makeup (well, at least for now) and head straight to the mall for my summer beauty look.
