Topshop Glow Highlighter in Polished - REVIEW.

Topshop Highlighter in Polished

                                                  

Why hello!

Yesterday the sun was shining and today?

50 shades of grey clouds and lots of rain. Hurrah!

This happens every time Scotland - we get a glimpse of the big shiny thing in the sky that other countries call the 'Sun' and then in a blink it's back to our grey drizzly normality. Anyhoo, with this typical Scottish weather I can't help but daydream about summer. And what better reason to write up a little review on a highlighter!

Said highlighter is rather a recent discovery - the Topshop Glow Highlighter in Polished. Now, Topshop aren't really known for their makeup products but instead their trendy range of clothes but one day I decided to have a wee browse of their makeup stand and wow! The variety of products and shades were impressive. After a lot of hmm-ing and ahh-ing I decided I couldn't step out the shop without this highlighter.

Firstly, packaging-wise it's simple and cute and who doesn't like a glass jar? The actual product however is the stand out (as it should be). Untwisting the lid reveals a creamy jar of goodness. There were 2 colours available on the stand, the other one being a more goldy bronze colour but seeing as I am pale as a ghost I thought it would be best to go for Polished. While it's definitely more on the pearly side of the spectrum and therefore perfect for everday/night it also contains golden undertones that create a slightly warm shimmer. Just means I can wear this in summer as well!

Product without blending

Blended - gives off a natural glow

I use this on my cheekbones and it blends pretty seamlessly and looks like a very natural glow so don't worry to those who fear it will be too harsh! I also like to blob a bit on my cupid's bow to create a bit more dimension to my face. For £8 it's quite dear for a shopping brands range but worth every penny in my opinion! Topshop usually have testers so take advantage of them and try it out! Excited to try more products from Topshop...they just keep winning don't they?

What are your favourite Topshop makeup products?
