For the longest time this was always sold out on the New Zealand websites, I couldn't find this for months until NYX cosmetics opened their range in one of the Farmers stores. I was beyond excited to check out the new display and this was the item at the top of my list, I needed to get my hands on this! The tube was smaller than I expected but it really does pack a punch! I walked out with Gleam, which is a pinky highlight and I couldn't wait to use this.
I have had this highlight for under a year and there is still half a tube left. You need only the smallest amount and the uses of this highlight are nearly endless!
One way to use this is to mix a small amount with your liquid foundation, it gives a beautiful glow to your skin. Another way is to dab a tiny amount on your cheeks, cupids bow and down the middle of your nose, If Im wanting the ultimate glow factor then I add a light dusting of powdered highlight on top. But be warned, you only add the extra if you want to be seen by space!
My favorite way to use this is to firstly apply my BB cream all over my face. Once thats done I squeeze a small amount of liquid highlight to the back of my hand and with a sponge I lightly dab this over my cheeks and on my colar bones, It adds a glow without being too over the top.
I will be repurchasing this again, for the price it is very cheap and you can use this in many ways. It is worth every penny!
I actually purchased this on a whim, because I was in search of using an illuminator to try out that new strobing sensation that is happening. I have nothing to compare this to.. I think it is a decent illuminator with that being said.
Pros -Easy no mess tube -Easy to apply -Frosty look to it
Cons -Dries way too quickly -Fades after a while -Need to layer it for you to have that glow look for it to appear in photos.
