I feel like highlighters we're quite an under rated product in the beauty world, up until a few years ago and bam everyone had a poppin' cheek bone and hasn't looked back since. For me I never really understood highlighters, that was until I really started to use ones that suited my skin tone, as it definitely isn't a one shade suits all situation. Now that i've discovered which shades work for me it has allowed me to really explore and enjoy highlighters for all that they are.

On a day to day I love me a subtle highlighter, and it's of a night time/evening out that I really go in when it comes to highlighters. One of my favourites for a very long time has been the Topshop Highlighter (£12) in the shade called 'Crescent Moon' and I love this shade as it's a subtle champagne colour that is really build-able and can work for many makeup looks. I often use this during the day as it's quite subtle, but still gives a lovely pop but it can also be layered up to create a more noticeable highlight. What I love about this blush is that it has a very finely milled formula to it and it glides on beautifully making it quite easy to work with, which is great for someone who is quite new to highlighters like I was when I first purchased this.

Another favourite of mine has got to be the 3ina The Highlighter 201* (£) which i've been using on and off now for a few months, and again this is a beautiful champagne highlight shade that is beautiful for an everyday makeup look. The formula of this is slightly different to the Topshop one, and it definitely gives a very subtle glow but again can be built up to give a beautiful glow for an evening makeup look. 

A recent addition into my highlighter collection is the new Lancome x Olympea Le-Tan Cushion Highlighter* (£30) which really intrigued me when I first received this. Firstly the packaging of this is whole collection is beautiful, and I also really like the concept behind this product. If you've ever used their cushion foundation, or any cushion foundation then this works in a really similar way as you dab you brush or sponge into the cushion within the packaging, and then apply this to your face. I typically make sure that I have a very small amount of product on my brush, and apply this as I would any highlighter by sweeping it across my cheek bones. It's slightly different to a normal highlighter, as it appears more matte than shimmery, but I really like this especially for an everyday look where i'm wanting a more subtle glow.

What are your favourite every day highlighters?

Apart from Lancome's last lip release I haven't ever tried any of their lipsticks, so I was really excited to try these out as i'd seen a few reviews already on these lipsticks so I was highly anticipating how good these lipsticks were going to be, and whether i'd like them! When it comes to reviewing beauty products I typically only review the ones that I do genuinely love, but also products that I know you as readers will love also and these are definitely lipsticks that i'd highly recommend splurging on!

The Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Lipsticks* (£25.50) are the latest addition to Lancome's highly loved line of lipsticks with this particular being a relaunch of their cult lipstick in order for your lip colour to really speak out more than ever. With this revamp and relaunch Lancome are bringing back their cult classic shades whilst also throwing a new range of shades into the mix in order to update with the latest lipstick trends, from perfect nudes, classic reds and vibrant pinks making the shade range totally versatile to every lipstick lover out there. With three lipstick formulas in this range it just further adds to the versatility of this range, meaning there is a formula to suit everyone including sheer, cream and matte, which you don't often see from a brand/certain product.

I very kindly received two shades from this range, of which are both stunning in their own right. Firstly we have 'Rose', which has the name suggests is a lovely rose red shade with an ever so slight pink undertone, which makes it more wearable for me as i'm not a huge fan of the classic red lip. The formula of this lipstick is a cream formula, and although I am more of a matte girl nowadays I do really like this formula. It glides every so smoothly, but is still very pigmented and it's not at all drying which is great especially as we're now in the winter months where my lips are just awfully dry all of the time. Secondly we have Nuit & Jour which is a more of a subtle peach shade and as the formula of this is sheer it does just give a lovely hint of colour whilst making your lips look glossy. As i'm not a huge fan of sheer lipsticks personally I doubt i'll be getting much wear out of this shade but if you're a lover of subtle/sheer shades then you'll love this!

My favourite part of these lipsticks has definitely got to be the packaging as i'm easily pleased, but these lipsticks are push and click style lipsticks which I just think has a level of class and sleekness to them that I just love. It also means that the lid can't come loose in your bag, thus ruining your lipstick which I am so guilty for as i've ruined a lipstick or two in my time!

If you're wanting to try out a new lipstick with wide range of shades and formulas to choose from, then i'd highly recommend trying these as they are such lovely lipsticks and no doubt you will find a shade or two to suit you.

Have you tried any lipsticks from Lancome?
