I'd eyed up Topshop blushers in the past but for some reason had never picked one up. However, the recent 5 Years of Topshop Beauty campaign definitely got me interested again, and one night when making a Topshop order I decided to put Head Over Heels in my basket, thinking there must be a reason why it is the most popular shade, and a few days later it arrived at my door.
First things first, the packaging is pretty great- sturdy white plastic with rose gold polka dots and a good sized mirror inside. My only complaints are that I worry it can get dirty easily and opening it can be a little tricky at time - but at least you know its not going to fly open and make a mess! In the pan the cream blusher looks like a really intense coral, which mighty have been why I shied from these blushers before, being pale and not that interested in blush. However, when applied the colour comes out a bit sheerer (the below swatch features two layers and it still looks wearable) - but you can always tone it down with powder / blended in with your foundation brush if it turns out a little too bright. I've worn it a couple of times since I've got it, by dabbing some on and blending out with my fingers, and the result is lovely and Spring/Summer appropriate. It's early days but so far I think I'll get lots of use out of this in the warmer months!
