Yes this was an impulse buy due to a YouTube blogger named Kathleen! She was using this as a cream highlighter and I brought Pearl.
Coming in a rounded pan pot, in keep with MAC other packaging, this looks like the individual blush compacts, with its see through acrylic lid that snaps shut under a black acrylic body. The pan inside holds a creamy silver coloured base.
Pearl is a shimmering silver with an opal sheen to it, I have used a few times and found it sits pretty in the areas I usually highlight on top of my foundation before I add setting powder. A high beam that can be seen from space! across the tops of my cheeks, under eyes and cupid bow. It does feel greasy when you first take it out of the pan with a fingertip but once it melts onto your skin it blurs and blends out to a soft effect that doesn't look like an oil slick.
I'm still unsure how often I would use it, mainly because I do prefer working with brushes and powders
This is a purchase I only made because Kathleen lights was wearing it and Oh-My-Gosh her face had that JLO glow, that that was a glow I wanted for myself so in the cart it went.
This product come in a circular compact with a see-through flip up lid that has the iconic MAC logo on it.
This product is stunning, even in the pan before it is swatched. It is a beautiful cream based product, that has a pearly shimmer to it. Drool! A swatch of this gives an amazing white highlight that is enough to make any highlight lover drool.
I tend to use this with a stippling brush, to try and get the product even dispensed over the highpoints of my cheek, but i find it really hard to get even coverage, and i cant get the glow that i get from a swatch. I also use it over blush to add a glow to my skin.
I actually passed this product along because although the glow was pretty in the pan, I just couldn't find a way to use it that gave me the highlight I wanted. I did find it lovely to use as a blush topper, but i rarely reached for it and it was neglected so there was really no point in me keeping it.
