Mermaid, golden phoenix, shimmering unicorn, pixie dust…… what do they all have in common? They sparkle darling!
The Essence Holo Wow! Sparkle Stick glides on effortlessly and feels powder light on the skin, although the stick itself is more of a solidified gel. It’s light, translucent and velvety smooth. Application is a breeze, just glide a few strokes on directly under cheek bones and use your fingers to lightly blend. Once I’ve blended, I run my finger tip along the arch line of my brow as well – on fleck defined brows in moments! The sparkle stick is the ideal cosmetic item if you’re searching for a day time make up product. Where you want just one item to help you feel a little glam, that doesn’t take up your precious coffee time before work.
The sparkle stick leaves skin literally glowing, radiant and leaves a dewy fresh look. I’ve used multiple different highlighter powders over the years, and the Essence sparkle stick will be one I will continue to use for many years to come.
If you have sensitive skin, this product is wonderful, not a single flare up at all in the last few weeks I’ve been using it. Also, we’ve had some sweltering hot weather lately, totally sweat proof. I still looked majestic and glamorous at the end of my day. With this in mind, you could even use the sparkle stick as an eye shadow primer, to really make your eyes POP with a beautiful holographic shimmer. With the reassurance that it won’t run into your eyes.
Downsides – Ok, so only available in Farmers, and not online, so often the Essence shelves are almost totally empty. On the same note, sometimes there are quite a few items there – but they’ve all been used by people! So this is my main ‘moan’ about the Essence products – they’re not sealed. You have no guarantee that other people haven’t used the product that you’re buying. You can only guess and hope for the best. I think this would deter me from purchasing any mascara, eyeliner or lippy (even though their lippys look gorge!). One more downside, but kind of positive at the same time – The packaging isn’t the greatest. The stick kind of rattles in the tube, the winder is a little loose and the lid doesn’t stay on very well (wouldn’t trust in the handbag!). However, it’s cheap! Like super affordable, and the product itself – platinum quality.
