I purchased this product in the Nude and Pink colors and as much as I've tried to love them, I just can't. The product swatched is pretty, but that's about it. The powder has glitter that is not fine...Read more

I thin it's a nice product. It has a beautiful color and the sheen that it gives is so pretty. It has a good amount of product, even with daily use, it'll take you a long time to run out of it. THE BA...Read more

This is a relatively good highlighter. I especially love the effect that it gives. It has both a light powder to actually highlight the skin, and small shimmery sparkles for a mystic effect. When it h...Read more

This was a big drugstore mistake. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it's way to glittery to be even considered.

I tried it today for the first time, and after a few hours of wearing it it looks like fairy dust all over my cheeks. The brush is terrible, even though they say it's made from natural hairs. It's jus...Read more

Let me start out by saying this is VERY sparkly. It's like condensed fairy dust. I like it, though! If you use just a little, then you can light up your whole face! The brush it comes with is a joke; ...Read more

I don't think I would buy this product again for one reason. It's a package with glitter. Maybe for nights out but not for school. I've tried better highlighters as well.
