The Body Shop Skin Defence Multi-Protection Essence REVIEW
If you are at all fussy with SPF and can't seem to find the perfect lightweight sun protection for your face, I suggest you march to your nearest Body Shop store and pick up their new Skin Defense Multi-Protection Essence. Which, despite the long (and rather confusing) name, is just an SPF for the face. A bloody good one at that!

My Top Highlighters (ft BECCA Cosmetics + The Balm)
My next highlighting favourite has to be BECCA Champagne Pop. Just.. Gorgeous. Again, not for those who want something subtle. Champagne Pop stands out beautifully on the skin, making your skin look so radiant and glowy. Champagne Pop has more of a warm undertone to it than Mary-Lou, pulling more of a peachy-gold tone. It is so soft and easy to blend, making it a dream to apply. I do find though, as it is so soft, it doesn't last as long as May-Lou throughout the day. If I want a super glowing highlight, I will actually mix Champagne Pop and Mary-Lou together on the tops of the cheek bones. I usually do this on a night out when I want a super glam, intense highlight. I love the combination! It looks so stunning.

My most recent highlighting discovery also comes from BECCA. This is their Shimmering Skin Perfector in the shade Moonstone. This is a liquid highlight, something I stayed away from for the longest time. I just never imagined a liquid highlight working for me, I always stuck to powders. I was so wrong! This is absolutely stunning. I take a tiny amount on a damp mini beauty blender, and gently tap it over the skin. Whilst it is still quite intense and noticeable on the skin, I'd say it was more on the natural "lit from within" side of highlights. It is absolutely stunning and I can't wait to take this away to Rome with me! Again, a slightly cooler shade but it still picks up a slight gold-y undertone. So beautiful on the skin, I love it. It applies beautifully (especially with a beauty blender) and melts into the skin, making it look more natural but still radiant.

The BEST Highlighting Brush | Morphe M501 Review
Now, I am just going to state straight away that the Morphe M501 will only be classed as the best highlighting brush for those that like a less than subtle glow from their highlighting powders. If you want a soft, subtle sheen on the top of your cheek bones, then sorry, this is not for you.
I pair the Morphe 501 brush with any highlighter I use. I mainly reach for serious glow givers such as the Balm Mary Lou-Manizer or BECCA Champagne Pop. Both highlighters are intense as it is but when paired with the Morphe M501 brush, it amps up the glow even more!
Not only is the Moprhe M501 a great brush, it is also super affordable and great quality! It washes really well and holds it's shape, it has puffed out slightly but that is something that tends to naturally happen to brushes once they've been "worn in".
Have you tried the Morphe M501 before? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments.
Thank you for reading.
