Review: Topshop 'Glow'

Ever hear or see of a product and you are completely torn whether to get it or not ? Well that was me this weekend. . I was torn between Topshop Glow highlighter and No7 highlighter stick . .

 

I was torn for three reasons . . 1. The price - both are priced at just under £10.00,  2. I couldn't find any reviews on the Topshop glow but read reviews of the No7 highlighter and 3. I love No7 products but actually tried the Topshop one before, so knew what I was getting

 

 

To make my decision a little bit easier, I went to Boots and Topshop and 'swatched 'both highlighters. . By the title of this post you've prorably guessed which one I bought in the end LOL :-)

 

So heres my opinion and review on Topshop 'Glow' highlighter

 

First impressions were : Errr for £9.00 you don't get very much - well with this product a little goes a LONG way .

 

I applied the product to my brow bones, apples of my cheeks, cupids bow, down along the middle of my nose, my shoulders and my collar bones and I honestly didn't use that much

 

The product went on really smooth and blended in very well without smudging my make-up or tan

 

Because im very pale, I got the shade polish because the gleam shade had a bronzing effect that I thought wouldn't make the product very appealing on my skin

 

So im going to give this product 5* because im really loving it and didn't have to touch up the entire night

Updated : Whats in my skincare bag ?

I did a post a few months back on my skin problems & how i got over them . . you can read this post  here . . But today im back with my updated skincare routine . . i am always adding to my skincare & im a magpie to packaging !! . .If something has a good packaging i instantly become drawn to the product & usually end up buying it - without reading what its for or even if its suitable to my skin . .

 

However ,recently ive been doing some research & i found out my skin type : oily t-zone with combination everywhere else & some sensitivity on my cheeks . . therefore when i went shopping last week to my local boots, i knew what skincare products i was looking for . .and at the No7 counter, they have the products suitable for each skin type labelled. .

 

I decided to pick up this No7 Blemish Defence Serum because ive found that ive been breaking out lately . . this product was located in the oily/combination section so i decided to give it a go . . i don't use this every night but nights when i notice a few blemishes appearing, i pump out two squirts and apply all over my face . . it dries pretty quickly & leaves my skin feeling really smooth . .

 

 

 

Im absolutely loving soap & glory products at the mo . .i was never really into the hype, that was until i came across the peaches & clean cleansing milk - review here . . I use this cleanser every day - sometimes in the morning or sometimes at night . . ive also been using this body butter which smells gorgeous & ive noticed my legs getting smoother looking  . . i use this when i go swimming - at the minute that's 3 - 4 times a week . .

 

 

Ive done a post on my skincare before and i haven't changed my moisturiser or toner because i find these products work well for me. . im also loving the fact that simple has now got an SPF 15 inbuilt - GOODBYEEE SUN DAMAGE :-) . .

 

 

 

My last items in my skincare bag are my coconut body butter & body mist from Asda . .Im a huge fan of coconut and im always finding my self going back to this scent . . theres something about it that i love. . it reminds me of candles & relaxation . . maybe that's why im forever using it on my hands & spraying my body mist 100 times a day . .
