Review | No7 Instant Radiance Highlighter

This one is a bit of an unusual purchase for me; I'm not a highlighter girl. Until now I've only had one highlighter in my collection (a Topshop one, if you're wondering) and that wasn't even in my make up bag, more in the back of beyond of my hoard of make up.

But when I saw one of my favourite bloggers ever (she's amazing- ghostparties) raving about this, I had to have it. Bye bye budgeting, hello glowy face in all the right ways. You might have seen me post about picking it up here, by which point I'd already had it a week or so and was completely addicted.

One of the main reasons for that is how easy it is to apply; this kind of bullet style packaging is becoming more and more popular. I'm not a huge fan, but for this it works. You can just literally run this onto your face and that's it. You can blend if you want, but if you're light enough applying you won't even need to do that. I normally use my fingers to just lightly blend it out into a more natural glow.

I've swatched it quite heavily so you can get a good idea of how pearly the product is, and see the creamy/ pink undertones

When applied, it's a subtle shimmer that isn't too glittery, and even has great lasting power. I would say it lasts mostly until I take my make up off (so at least 12 hours), but obviously it lasts better if I put a bit more on. The thing that I can't get over is just how easy it is to add something so pretty to my face!

You can pick this up for £9.95 in Boots, which I think is absolutely amazing for how many applications it's going to last me! I've barely even scratched the surface and I've been using it for weeks.

Overall, I love this so much! I'm so glad that I picked it up, and would 100% recommend it even if you're not that keen on highlighters. I'm thinking about picking up one of the No7 Pop & Glow blush sticks that were launched at the same time as the highlighter, would you guys like to see a review if I do?!

Do you think you'll be picking up this little beauty for yourself?
