Firstly a quick nod to Topshop’s simple packaging!

Glass pot, white lid, cute font, I love all of it.

The formula is gorgeously creamy and blends with minimal effort. Bear in mind also that a little goes a looong way so the 4g pot should last ages. I’ve been applying this in the usual places cheekbones, nose bridge,

I’ve been applying this in the usual places cheekbones, nose bridge, cupid’s bow, I’ve even thrown in a cheeky dab on my forehead and chin on a couple of occasions just for the heck of it, #wild times.

When it comes to the application an index finger works perfectly to blend it into the skin, I’ve also found a MAC 224 brush handy for extra control when blending on my non-existent cheekbones.

Colour wise ‘Polished’ is a pale champagne with a pink iridescence. There’s ultra fine multicoloured glitter running through it (I mean ultrafine don’t be put off by it) This combination results in pure magic when the light hits!

So to sum up, If I was to text you about this it would get an emoji thumbs up (high praise indeed)

Have you tried any of the Topshop highlighters?

Last week I had one of those days where I had my organising head on. The first job to be tackled was my Make-up collection! To be fair it wasn’t in total chaos but I had things in places that they shouldn’t be. It was driving me to distraction.

Now that everything is in its rightful place, my mind, as well as my bedroom floor, is clutter free. Which has led me to have more

Which has led me to have more ideas for blog posts.

I knew that I had a fair amount of MAC goodness stashed away. Some are used on a daily basis, some are given very little attention. So now that I know exactly what I have and where it is, as a way to give it all the love that it deserves I came up with the idea for a new series “MAC Monday” what a genius I am! *sarcasm*

First up is a beloved product of mine. The Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft andGentle.

This is one of the products that I own from MAC that gets an almost daily outing. It is my go to highlight. MAC describe it as a ‘gilded peach bronze’ which at first glance I get too. On application, however, I find it to be a Champagne coloured highlight which looks peachy gold in certain lights.

Soft and Gentle~Gilded goodness!!

Soft and gentle is super finely milled. It also contains an insane amount of glitter! So literally, the lightest of hand is needed when applying this bad boy.It will make you resemble Edward Cullen on a Summer’s day otherwise 😉

Tapping the excess off of the brush before applying (thankfully) gets rid of most of the glitter.

I reach for this highlighter more than any other that I own. I find it gives me the perfect, healthy glow. Whether I am having a really pale day or I have been hammering the St.moriz/Tropez a little bit too hard.

Its multi tonal-ness makes it wearable for most skin tones. To demonstrate that I tanned up one of my hands and did a bit of a comparison…
