The Body Shop Out For Love Multi-Tasking Highlighter £15 20ml

 

There are so many different highlighters on the market nowadays that it can often be confusing what one to buy. Not just the colour but the texture and especially key is the amount of shimmer in them - too much shimmer or glitter and they just look downright awful. 

So I was ecstatically surprised when I opened up the post, on my way to physio this morning to receive these new launches from The Body Shop. So ecstatic after swiping them on my hand, that I emailed my PR as I was hobbling off, to let her know that I thought they were amazing! They've even jumped the queue of write-ups (as I do have a small backlog of samples to review). So what makes them so amazing.

Well for starters they don't have any particles of glitter in them. They simply give that inner glow to the skin, that natural beam of radiance and this makes them incredibly youthful.

Secondly, they're multi-tasking - so multi-tasking that I've edited this paragraph and had to make it bullet point format! Use your imagination but here's just some of the uses:-

• Applied to the top of your cheekbones to make them more prominent.
• You can dab on the inner corner of the eyes, to make eyes look more set apart.
• A little dabbed on the eyelid, to make lids 'pop'.
• A smidgeon on your cupids bow to help give the illusion of a fuller pout.
• Mixed with a little body lotion and applied on your collarbone, this looks incredible if you're wearing a strapless evening dress.
• Mixed with your lipstick to take any matte shade to a satin, shimmer (perfect for the evening).
• and here's one that I bet no-one thought of - I massaged into my bare ridged nails to give my nails a natural  golden gleam (and the colour stayed put)!

Available in 3 different colour ways, and whilst all the shades are suitable for all skin tones they can also be used individually to compliment your undertone and eye colour. 

SPACE

This lilac shade is ideal for sallow skins, lilac is known for it's brightening effect for anyone with a dull, yellow undertone in their skin - it also looks amazing on brown eyes. Sallow toned skin is often 'ashy' toned and this colour will liven the complexion.

BAKED

This beautiful golden peach shade is perfect for those with warm undertones. It gives a slight radiance of natural sun-kissed glow to the skin, and looks just incredible on all shades of skin but really works with those who have a tan. It's iridescent with highlights of peach, gold and pink and is quite simply just beautiful. Mixed with a lipstick gives a wonderful 3d chrome effect. 

PEARL

This icy, cool shade is perfect for those with blue/neutral undertones, paler skin types and looks incredible on blondes and grey hair. Again the shade can be used by everyone however, the icy, silver shade really gives drama to pale complexions. 

As with all these highlighters you only need a tiny amount so the tube will last ages, and as with all The Body Shop products these are vegan and cruelty free. The texture isn't sticky and they last all day. However, they are limited edition so I would head to your nearest shop and purchase before they sell out. I'm hoping that they make these a regular addition to their make-up range. If you don't have a shop near you, check them out here at www.thebodyshop.com
