Topshop - Fab makeup at great price - have you tried it ?

Apologies for the lack of posts, due to work and then an awful dose of flu I have been out of action, but back fighting fit now.

My daughter and I had a rare and fabulous afternoon shopping in Newcastle involving lots of trying on of clothes, shoes, makeup - lots of purchases and finishing off with a great dinner and a glass of wine.

Although the purchases are shockingly too long to list them all here, the ones I really want to share with you are some cream eyeshadows from Topshop. Whilst having a browse and play with the makeup in the store I stumbled across a cream eyeshadow in white that initially I was drawn to as I thought it would work well as an inner corner highlighter particularly for bride season. I was very impressed with the texture of this product as it was creamy but not see through as I quite often find these type of products, so the colour showed as a true shimmery delight. I then worked my way along the colour range and was so impressed I bought every single one of them.(sinful I know)

The way these products work are so versatile that you could simply buy the charcoal colour and work a fab day or night smoky eye, the creamy texture makes these products easy to apply but they dry brilliantly so you get a great staying power, a bit like a primer and shadow going on at the same time. The colour pigment is brilliant so you can build and go for a really dramatic result for a night out or as i am planning on using them at the up and coming 'As You Like It' Revamped fashion show!

The colours in the range are snow storm (white), velvet (purple), gold mine (gold), heavy metal (silvery gunmetal) and Darkness (charcoal/black). Great range which can be mixed for cool or warm skin tones.

Only a tiny bit of the product is needed and at £8 each quite good value for money.

When paying for these the lovely girls in Topshop where really interested in the makeup and how you would use a cream as they had always used powder and I think this is the same for lots of people, creams are a bit of an unknown. They are really worth a try, fab fun to play around with.

I have created a basic look just to give you an idea and shown the swatch of each colour - give it a go and be daring, the creams give such a healthy dewy look, wakening up any eyes.

If there are any looks you would like to see, let me know and I will do my best. Now I have my new camera (another one of the purchases) I can show you some fab looks and I am going to do a post on HD Brows. This seasons must have treatment, brows are continuing to be a big feature on all of the catwalks. Vogue had an amazing article on brows which summed up the importance of a great brow. I will share my thoughts on brows and some before and after HD Brows shots.

Look forward to your comments and feedback, i really do appreciate it.
