Since leaving college to come home for summer, I have also massively missed Topshop in St Stephen's Green (and it's only been a week!) So I decided to bring out one of my favourite highlighters. Crescent Moon is a pearly, champagne powder highlighter, with finely milled shimmer.
The packaging is cute, like all Topshop packaging - A sturdy white plastic case covered in hand-drawn stars. Some people may think it looks cheap, but I like it! It contains a nice 6.5g of product, & seeing as I've been using it for a good year now.. It will last forever.
You can see it on the left of my face, where the light hits it!
The colour is more pink-toned, but it's quite in the middle (a little bit silvery), so suits a range of skin tones. Pigmentation is strong, so you only need a light application - I apply to my cheeks using my NIMA Brush Dome Blush Brush, & use a Stila #9 All Over Blending Brush for my brow bone, cupid's bow, etc.
The wear time isn't amazing, but it lasts a standard day (about 10 hours).It's easy to re-apply anyway! My one issue is pricing - It's £10 in the UK, but more like €15 here. Which annoys me, but the product is still decent.
What highlighters do you recommend?

I hate when the Irish priced are jacked up! I've been looking at this though, looks lovely on you! I'm obsessed with illuminating products at the moment!
ReplyDeleteEspecially when it's so obvious! I love highlighters, tempted to try Sunbeam too!
DeleteIt's really pretty on you Chloe, suits your skintone to a tee. Revlon have some really nice ones but I'm not sure if they're old or new, I got mine in Cara Pharmacy ages ago in a sale! Topshop are great but they're a disaster for the dodgy exchange rates x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon, I've never tried Revlon highlighters! But Cara are brilliant for their sales x
DeleteI brought my first piece of Topshop make up yesterday, one of the new Lip bullets, can't wait to try it! Am excited to try more products like this too ;)

Their lip products always look SO nice, I keep swatching them then can't choose one! x
DeleteGRRRRR re the pricing but YAY! that it looks so pretty on you xo
ReplyDeleteSo annoying but I like it anyway! xx
DeleteI haven't tried any TopShop makeup but I do love highlighters so I'll be keeping an eye out for this! :)
ReplyDeleteI've only tried this & a nail polish but I keep meaning to look for more!
DeleteThank you! I keep wanting to try out Soleil de Tan but I'm afraid to spend that money on something I might not like! xx
