Topshop Sunbeam Highlighter





This beauty has been in my stash for quite some time and is a re-discovery for me recently. The Topshop Highlighter in Sunbeam is extremely pigmented so a little goes a long way. I haven't even made a dent in mine so I know this will last me a V E R Y long time. It's a shimmery, baked golden shade powder, and can be applied to the face and body. I tend to apply it to my cheek bones and on to my shoulders, which I did for a friends wedding last summer, as I was wearing a beautiful yellow dress. My skin tone is on the pale side but I've had no problems with this suiting me. The staying power is excellent and I'm so glad I've found it again.

The packaging is also cute, but one disappointment for me is that there isn't a mirror, which there is plenty of room for in the lid, and is bulky enough to take it. This would be handy to have but not necessary for some people.
It's available online and in-store and costs £10.

Overall, I love it. Now, I'm off to see what else I can re-discover!

Topshop Nails


I've been a bit naughty lately as I seem to be attracted to nail polish like I have six pairs of hands and without even thinking about it, I buy buy buy. Oops. BUT, I can justify my most recent purchases ~ bargain finds.
For those of you that didn't know, Topshop make up is made by the same company that produce all of MAC's make up, and I think the quality is rather good.


While out a few weekends ago with my daughter (she's 3 and loves a stroll around the shops!) I picked up these three bargain beauties for £1 each. These normally retail for £5-£6. The make up stand had quite a few marked down but I resisted (see I can do it).


Blank is a cross between white and cream and reminds me of vanilla ice cream. I think that this would work well as a base to then apply a neon colour on top. It does look nice on its own though.
Wistful is from the holographic range and is very shiny and when it catches the light, there is a mix of pink, lilac and blue.
Blitz has an orange undertone when close up and would look fabulous with a black dress and heels to wear for an evening out. My favourite I think.
I have looked on the Topshop website for these but unfortunately there aren't there. That doesn't mean though that they aren't available in store still.

Any bargains you've picked up or missed out on?
