I don't know why I was so underwhelmed by the TopShop make up launch last year, but in my search for great cream blushes I was led back to it in search of 'Flush' and saw a whole bunch of other products I'm looking forward to trying.
The packaging has certainly grown on me and I would now go as far as to call it 'cute'.

This cream blush is £6 for 4g and is a vibrant coral pink with gives me a very healthy glow as though I've just been on a ramble on the moors. It works best when eyes and lips are kept neutral.
The texture is very smooth and creamy and it's a dream to blend. You can sheer it out or build up colour depending on the looks you're going for.
I was also very impressed by the Kohl pencils and picked them up Frost, Coal and Dragonfly. At £4 each you can't go wrong. I really like the fact that they are a proper 'wooden' pencil which is so easy to sharpen into a fine point rather than the sort of plastic surround I see on some like No7 eyeliners.

They are extremely pigmented and soft - you need to apply hardly any pressure which is great for the upper and lower waterlines.

I can't wait to do a dark smudgy smoky eye with Coal and Dragonfly is a nice daytime alternative to black which can look harsh on me. The muted dark green also makes my eyes look bluer.

The S/S 2011 Sandstorm collection is very pretty and I was almost tempted by the Equinox eye Crayon in Rose Gold. However I swiped some over my eyes and it creased while I was checking out the rest of the collection. A shame as the packaging and product are gorgeous.
Let me know in the comments below if you have any TopShop make up recommendations for me!
The blush is gorgeous!

I love TopShop blushes so much! The packaging's love/hate for me, depending on mood.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise the pencils were only £4! I never really paid attention to them before, but mind have to check 'em out soon. Sandstorm seems like a pretty good collection!
