Too Faced Leopard Love
Complexion Perfection Kit
£12.50
Boots

I remember seeing this around before but never purchased as I don't really like buying make up online without having a play to see the quality of the brand
Too Faced has only just come into my local Boots, al though I think it was only for Christmas, and I got to have a closer look at their products and the quality of them
I saw this on the Boots website in the online offers section and it was only £12.50 (I think, it's not on there anymore) and I had to snap it up!
That only works our to around £4 for each product, pretty good for Too Faced really.
I love anything cute, pretty and girly and the packaging of this is just that.
All pastel colours and girly touches 
I was also drawn in by the fact that each product was a mixture of a few colours in a leopard print pattern
In the kit you get a bronzer, blusher and a highlight, so everything you need for a glowing look in one place
Perfect for travelling with
The swatches show that the colours are gorgeous
The bronzer is the only product not to have a huge amount of shimmer running through it which is ideal as you don't want to be spreading glitter all round your face...not a good look
I have to say though I'd say to use the bronzer with a light hand as it's easy to over do and look a bit on the orange side.
The blusher is a lovely, subtle pink colour which isn't too frosty and baby pink but is different from my usual coral colour 
I like how the highlighter isn't your usual icy champagne kind of colour
It's more warm and could even be used as a shimmery bronzer if you so desire, I think it would make a lovely eyeshadow colour
I'd definitely recommend picking this up if you can find it at half price

Benefit Sun Beam

Benefit Sun Beam Highlighter

This little beauty was purchased at the same time as the Sugarbomb Blusher.
I've only ever used powder highlights before so this was something completely new to me.
I asked the make up artist to show me how to apply and loved the look. It made me look all dewy and fresh faced, gorgeous.
For £18.50 it's quite a pricey experiment to see how I like it but I got all wrapped up in the moment and threw fire to the wind.
So far I'm not regretting that choice.
I've not being using this everyday only because I work full time and feel it to be a waste worn to work, I tend to keep my make up routine quite basic for work days. 
To use I just dot on my cheek bones and my cupids bow and just blend out.
It gives such a nice warm glow and you have more control over where the product goes as you use your fingers to blend rather than a brush with powdered highlights.
Another brilliant product from Benefit...their making up for the not so fantastic 'Some Kind a Gorgeous' foundation! 

What other highlighters do you guys recommend?
