Hi Ladies! If you read my blog regularly you will probably know that I am a huge fan of Topshop and their lipsticks. I currently have six and love everything about them from the packaging to the formula. However, other than the nail polishes, I've never branched out and tried any of the other products Topshop have to offer. I've always loved the look of their cream blushes and 'Sunbeam' highlighter but being the lipstick addict that I am, I usually opt for a new lippie whenever I am browing the makeup stand.
With this being said, when I found myself with a £10 Topshop voucher a couple of weeks ago I thought it was the perfect opportunity to treat myself to something other than a lipstick. Lets face it, I think I have enough to last me a life time now.
So as I was browsing the makeup stands I was contemplating buying something from the new Louse Grey collection but then I spotted this shimmery pot of prettiness and instantly had to get my mitts on it. At first glance it looked absolutely beautiful and it wasn't a product I'd seen in Topshop on my previous visits. After a bit of swatching (as you do) I instantly fell in love with this highlighter named 'Crescent Moon'. I'm pretty sure it's part of their new collection as other than 'Sunbeam', I wasn't aware Topshop had released any other highlighters.
I've always been a big fan of highlighters as they are perfect for adding a glow to my skin and enhancing my best features. I've been meaning to repurchase MAC's 'Soft and Gentle' Skinfinish for a while now but due to its hefty price tag and my measly bank balance, I just can't justify it. So when I spotted 'Crescent Moon' and discovered that its actually very similar to my beloved S&G, I just couldn't resist the bargain. The dome shaped powder is a beautiful peach shade with subtle pink undertones and it is perfect for my skin tone. I also love that it has an iridescent/metallic finish instead of adding unflattering chunks of shimmer. I find it adds a lovely dimension to my otherwise matte foundation, bronzer and powder. I attempted to take some photos of myself wearing it but it wasn't easy trying to get a flattering photo of my cheek so I've had to show the effect this product gives swatched on my hand instead. Sorry about that guys, I know its always better to see it on my actual face.
Before I bring this post to an end I'd also like to point out that I absolutely adore the packaging too. As with all Topshop makeup it has a black and white theme but instead of the usual stripes and spots, this has cute little stars. Amazing. For £10, I can't recommed this product enough. I think it would work well with any skin tone and as I only need a light dab on my brush each time I use it, it will last me a very long time. I image it will sell out pretty fast so if you want it I'd be quick! Go, go, go!
Do you use a highlighter? Whats your favourite?
Lots of Love,
Great review, it does look absolutely gorgeous!!

This looks beautiful! I'm totally in love with the entire topshop make up range - the packaging just makes it irresistible haha :)
ReplyDelete£10 is pretty good value as well actually, if you compare to higher end products - I'll definitely be putting this on my shopping list!

ReplyDeleteI really need a highlighter! I've never actually used one! *bows head in shame* and I think this sounds perfect for a beginner like me :)

This looks lovely! I wish there was a Topshop near me...although it's probably safer that there isn't!
ReplyDeleteLove Topshop make up, this looks gorgeous x x
ReplyDeleteOoh looks so pretty. :) x
ReplyDeleteI Picked this up today!
ReplyDeleteLove sunbeam so I know I will adore this. Great video sweet! X
It's gorgeous! I love MAC's Miss Behave and Benefit's HighBeam for highlighting. xx
ReplyDeleteI use Benefit High Beam...I've never branched out to powder highlighter but might do now as that looks lovely.

That looks very similar to Nars Albatross. I havn't tried any Topshop makeup as yet but i think i will be investigating now! x
ReplyDeleteI find Topshop makeup such good quality for the money- may have to pick this up!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I currently use S&G so when or if it runs out, I'll purchase this!
ReplyDeleteX
Love this colour, the texture doesn't look too heavy either!
ReplyDeleteOooh this looks gorgeous, I have always looked at sunbeam but I was a bit scared of it but this looks perfect for my skintone x
ReplyDeleteMy faves are definitely either Dior Amber Diamond or Nars Albatross! I'm a highlight junkie, so this will probably be the next product in my makeup drawer! X

I was dead set on buying Soft and Gentle next time I went to Manchester but now I have seriously considered and want to get this instead - save myself some pennies! I've never seen this before, I've only ever seen Sunbeam which looks a little yellow-y - this is so much nicer xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks really pretty and I love the packaging. I feel like I don't use highlighter enough so may have to get this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a gorgeous colour. I've been meaning to try out some of Topshop's make up but they just never seem to have anything that stands out to me! I do love their lipsticks though :) x
ReplyDeleteahh i wish we had topshop in Canada, the packaging is so cute! xx
ReplyDeleteII love the subtle color. It probably works as a beautiful highlight
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely! I've got sunbeam and i adore that so i'm definitely going to have to give this a go xo
ReplyDeleteEverytime I'm in Topshop I swatch this highlighter, I can't resist it! It's so so beautiful, I can't wait to get some more pennies so I can purchase it :)
