![]() ![]() However with a soft brush starburst works very well. It is a slightly diluted silver, when compared to crushed pearl, but it is still pretty stark against my olive skintone. Starburst:I know I just said C.P is my second most used shade, but starburst is coming in at a close second! It is one of the most wearable cooler toned highlighters I own. ![]() I prefer this when I'm not tanned or wearing a warmer foundation because it is more on the cool toned side of things. I think the name is perfect, as it is almost like Anastasia literally crushed up some pearls and pressed it in the palette! I tent to pop this on the very top of my cheekbone for a super bright highlight, or I'll use it on a thicker fan brush very lightly so it is distributed in a softer way. DAAAYUM.Ĭrushed Pearl:This is my second most used shade, and it is the lightest and brightest. However as I turn my head it is more noticeable and I LOVE it. It's also one of those stunning shades that on my olive skintone, is not an obvious swipe across my cheek. Mimosa: MY FAVE! Look at how beautifully warm and golden it is! Mimosa is a shade that when applied with just one layer, looks perfectly fine for day to day, but when layered up I can achieve that stunning brighter look, as you can see in the swatch. If you like a colourful highlight, you'll like hard candy! Hard Candy:By far my least used shade from this quad, hard candy is a true pink highlighter and it works quite well as a blush topper! I find it most wearable when I mix it with the shade starburst and I find it easiest to use when I'm wearing a warmer shade of foundation as it blends in well. Going into each of these shades in detail: I also really appreciate how they don't waste any space in the palette - is that not the most annoying thing, when they have double the amount of packaging you actually need? □ The packaging itself is great too, sturdy cardboard, with a strong magnet in the lid too. I will often mix and match the shades, sometimes using a glow close to my skintone all over the cheek bones, and then a lighter brighter shade with a smaller brush. These have magnetic bases, so when travelling its super easy to remove your favourites in a Z palette - or even create your own custom palette if you have two of them! So all in all I think its a very fair price, especially since you get way more than 4 options per palette. Now if we compare that to another one of my favourite highlighters, the Laura Geller Gilded Honey which is £21 and you only get 4.5g of product! They are all removable pans in these three glow kits (although there are a few glow kits, which don't have them). So starting with the basics that are consistent across the board - these all cost £39 each which might shock you a little, but bare in mind you get FOUR highlighters and they didn't scrimp on the size either! Each pan of highlighter holds 7.4g, so you're getting a whopping 29.6g of product for the near £40 price tag. These three are the first to come from ABH, and after sundipped they released moonbeam and sweets - both of which have a little less 'everyday' colours, for me personally but I've heard amazing things about them both! They then released 'ultimate glow', which has to be the only kit I heard bad reviews about, due to the pigmentation issues and high glitter content. I can't speak for the others, because I've not tried them (but I DID just treat myself to the Nicole kit cause, well I don't even need to explain myself there do I? Haha. Anyways I'm NOT complaining because I love them, each and every one and before I getting into the details of it all - YES these three are totally worth the hype. ![]() Welcome to a long awaited review which has been on my blogging to-do list for AGES and I'm kinda relieved I am finally sitting down to write it up! So I'm going to jump straight into it, although I will start by saying that I did not actually buy all three of these gorgeous glow kits and if you want to know how I managed to collect three of them then you can have a read of this post here. Hello hello! Major apologies for being extra AWOL as of late, I've been on a two week trip to Pakistan, but more on that in another post.
