review // topshop blush in head over heels

 

hey guys! so you may have seen in my recent haul that i had bought my first ever topshop make up product! i had a tough time deciding which product i was going to get because i had heard so many good things about pretty much anything, but for me it was between the lipsticks and the cream blushes, and also the 'glow' highlighter which i have been wanted for SO long but I already have benefit's high beam so I thought that I'd buy the topshop highlighter after I've used up all of the benefit one! so in the end i went for the cream blush in head over heels because I don't own many cream blushes and I think they look a bit more natural than the traditional powder blushes, and i also like the dewy look, especially in summer, and i think cream blushes make my skin look really dewy and glowy!

I took the picture and swatch when i first bought it as my other cream blushes have gotten pretty messy, and it's kind of embarrassing haha. i've been using this blush for a couple of weeks now and have been wearing it pretty much everyday! it's a gorgeous coral colour - perfect for spring/summer! It's almost a cream-to-powder finish but more creamy, if that makes sense? i know many people like to use the real techniques stippling brush with cream blushes, but unfortunately i don't have it (is this an excuse to buy it? i think so) so i just dot it on and blend it out with my fingers which gives a gorgeous glow and flush of colour! I dot in quite high up and not too close to the center of my face, so it gives it a bit of shape and structure, otherwise i look a tad like a clown, which I'm sure you all know is not a good look! When I first used this blush I used a bit too much but it blended in so easily which is really helpful when getting used to how much to use! I'm really surprised about how much I like this blush as i've never been a big blush gal but i love this one, and although being a cream product, it lasts pretty well on my combo skin, almost all day! 

Overall, i love this blush and will definitely buying some more of Topshop's make up when I'm next there, anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!

Product Of The Week

Hey guys!

Hope you all had a great easter! I did, but may have indulged a bit too much.. haha. As you all know, the UK have been having a bit of a wintery spring with blizzards one minute then sun the next! The weather's been looking up during the past few days in Manchester with gorgeous blue skies, a sight we don't get to see often! To go with this gorgeous spring weather, i have been loving peachy coloured blushes! My favourite being the rimmel lasting finish mono blush in pink rose. Which looks like this..

This is my product of the week because..

As you can see, this blush is a gorgeous peach with some golden shimmer running through it! this retails at £3.99 which is an absolute bargain as it is so pigmented and translates beautifully to the skin, leaving you with a fresh and healthy glow. It lasts really well on my skin, however i find that if i try and blend it too much it can go a bit patchy. And although you only get 4 grams of product it lasts really well as a little product goes a long way! It is really small, which means it's great for traveling or chucking in your handbag.. although i have lost mine a couple of times it's that small!

Overall, this is a gorgeous colour, the quality is amazing and i shall definitely be repurchasing.

What has been your go to product this week?

Thank you for reading, see you in my next post!
