I’m posting this in hopes to help those picky with highlighter like me! Firstly it’s hard to find a golden highlight that isn’t too dark for me because I’m pretty light/fair, but the shade Exhilarate works perfectly on my skin tone. Second, I personally do not like glittery highlighters, and I don’t find this to have huge chunks but it does initially lay on the skin in a way that emphasizes texture and the little shimmers in it. I’ve found that the best way to use this over powder is to...

I love this highlighter!
My friend gifted me this highlighter in the shade "mesmerize," and I love it so much that I have come to write a review about it!
As it says in the name, this highlighter does have a silky smooth touch. Mine is not so powdery as expected, which to me is more of a positive. The pink glides smoothly onto my cheekbones and is very easy to blend--as if it is melting onto your skin. The sparkles are very fine, so it looks more natural when applied.
I want to separately remark on the packaging...

I was so excited for this to be delivered and I payed $11 extra for shipping. I just received this and it’s totally broken and I’m so disappointed.

A bit TOO glittery for me
I got the shade Enlighten the day it came out. This highlighter is nice & does create a subtle glass-like effect. Also, the packaging is soo cute, it reminds me of Polly Pocket. However, the highlighter isn't the best one I've used. In fact, I prefer many others over this one. The highlight does come off a bit glittery. I like to use highlighters that look more natural on the skin containing little to less glitter. I also should have picked up the light gold shade. It would have looked...

So disappointed
I was so excited to use it today when I got it in the mail but when I opened it the whole powder inside the compact was completely gone. I don’t even know how that happens but I’m so upset.

Enlighten
I bought the shade Enlighten when it launched early for Rouge members and it has exceeded my expectations.
The glitter free formula is soft and smooth, blends seamlessly and doesn't emphasize texture or look powdery.
Enlighten is a very light champagne/beige with a neutral leaning cool undertone and a highly reflective glassy finish. It's a great option for those that are vampire pale like me as it doesn't leave a sickly cast like most champagne shades do, but it may pull too icy white on...

Such a beautiful glow! It doesn’t look glittery and it isn’t dry, super silky!

Silky doesn’t begin to describe this powder. So smooth. Beautiful finish. The other highlighters in my drawer are being re-homed.

Add to cart!
I've tried many highlighters, and this has already made it's way onto my faves list! Love the texture, it truly is silky, buttery, deliciousness. I got the shade Enlighten but already placed an order for Exhilarate bc I'm so impressed. Highly recommend!

Broke after less than 2 weeks
Pros: blends well and didn’t irritate my skin like some highlighters have. The color is a good neutral- not too pink, gold, or white.
Cons: it broke less than two weeks after purchasing! I haven’t even traveled with it- it went from the store to my house, and then it’s just gone in and out of my makeup drawer since then. I’ve never had anything crumble that quickly, especially at that price.

Won’t even survive shipping
I think we’re too forgiving of a product that is $28 while being the size of the rim of a soda can with more fragility than an egg.

This is by far the best highlighter I’ve ever used. It’s so silky and dewy.
