A few weeks (read: months – eek!) back now I popped in to good old Toppers and didn’t come out empty handed. Nothing but consistency from miss spendy as always. In addition to new shoes (a whole different story in themselves), I came away with two new additions to the beauty stash. Topshops Glow highlighter is an oldie in Topshop makeup terms, it’s part of the more permanent collection and has been around for a long time, appearing in countless blogger makeup bags – but I’d never tried it. Forever being put of by the fact it looked far too glittery (i’ll get on to that later). The second item is a slightly more recent release, part of this years spring/summer collection, the Glow Stick in the shade Spotlight is a cream highlighter in twist up stick form.
I picked up the latter in hopes of having a highlighter/blush hybrid, but wasn’t really wowed by it’s blend-ability or staying power. It gives a nice sheen when tapped along the cheek bones, but it simply sits on top of makeup, looking rather unnatural or moves it around. Safe to say it didn’t win me over.
But then we have the Glow highlighter… I’d been scared of it’s disco ball properties, but on getting this home, there were no giant scary glitter chunks in sight. Obvious shimmer, yes, but the glitter i’d been seeing must have been down to tester pot contamination. The worst kind of contamination there is. This one blends far better and gives the most beautiful glow. I think it’s one of my favourite cream highlighters I’ve tried in terms of consistency and finish. It’s only let down is that it seems to cause those niggley under the skin bumps that are sometimes cause (on me) by high street makeup. So unfortunately it’s not an everyday makeup favourite. But a damn good highlighter none the less!
Shame about the glow stick, since the color looks really promising! :o) Xx

I have no idea how I have yet to try any of the Topshop makeup products – look at the size of the rock I've been hiding under! haha. The highlighter sounds fab, but the whole under the skin bumps sitch turns me off them a bit. Can't deal with those. 😛

Love the look of that Glow Stick… reminds me very much of Nars Multiples. I love Topshop makeup!!

Ah, I was so soo close to buying the glow highlighter a few months back, but kept getting scared by the shimmer from the tester – this has led to me into thinking maybe I should actually give it a go so thankyou haha.

I need to try this, every time I see it in Topshop it tempts me but it looks far too shimmery in store for me too! It's good to hear that it was just tester pot issues, not the product itself.

I have a few Topshop make up bits and I love them. My favourite is the Glow Highlighter too it's such a gorgeous shade for summer.

The Glow Stick sounds really similar to the No. 7 Pop and Glow Stick. Such a nice idea, but hard to blend and you end up with more on your fingers or makeup brush than on your cheeks.
Love the post 🙂

I've never thought of trying the Topshop makeup!

I get the same lumps under the skin with high street makeup, it's so annoying & i wish i knew exactly what caused it. I still need to try TopShop Glow highlighter nevertheless though, anything that promises a dewy glow is my vice!!

I have yet to try any Topshop makeup so I'd love to see a post about everything you've tried or your recommendations? I'd hate to go in there blind!
Never tried topshop makeup xx

I'm a little sad that you didn't get on with the Topshop Glow Stick–it looks amazing! I always trust your opinion, though, so thanks for saving me a few pennies. x

The highlighter is so pretty! Maybe one to save for nights out though if it does that to your skin but gorgeous nonetheless x

I love your blog!
I've always liked the Topshop beauty products! I just wish they would come to Belgium…
I'm always put off Topshop beauty products (I don't trust clothing companies with makeup for some reason!) but the highlighter looks lovely, might have to give it a try!

Can I ask how you apply the highlighter from the pot? Sorry if its a stupid question. Is it with a brush? Xx
I have never really had much luck with lip-blush hybrids myself. Sounds like I could skip this one if I ever try getting on that horse again, haha!

I really want to try that Glow highlighter! Lot's of people seem to love it!

I bought the highlighter and hated it, then one day forgot my eye palette and decided to experiment with this and blusher. Sounds really odd, but this on the lid and a rosey blusher in the outer corners and crease actually gave such a nice rose gold look! I wear this look a lot know, except with a rosey eye shadow and have turned a few others onto using it too!

I do love the glow highlighter, something I lusted over for quite some time before buying recently 🙂
