Topshop Cheek Jelly - Beep


So in doing this post, I realized I hadn't actually swatched the Cheek Jelly on my cheek. But to be honest, I've mostly used it on my lips and that's why I didn't even think about swatching it on my face. They do recommend using it on both lips and cheeks so I swear I'm not using it wrong.

I picked up the Topshop Cheek Jelly in Beep on a whim, without doing any research whatsoever. I knew that would come back to bite me in the behind because I wasn't exactly impressed with it. Don't get me wrong, I do like the way it tints my lips, but I don't think I would waste money on any other shade.

The product itself is pretty pointless and not worth the $14. I bought mine when I was in the UK so the price tag didn't look as unattractive, although I was very much aware of how much it was in US $. It doesn't last all that long on my cheeks (probably because I have oily skin) and it doesn't do much else for my lips either. I still, however, wear it out because it doesn't look terrible on me. It just lasts a total of 8 minutes on me so I have to reapply often.

I definitely would skip this if you're someone with generally oily skin. As a cheek tint, it just will not last. As a lip tint, I don't care for it either. But if you're still curious, I say go ahead and head to your local Topshop ;)
