This is my holy grail highlighter, its glowy, radiant, and beautiful. I like that it doesn't have an overbearing sparkle or glitter. Great packaging too.

I like this product however it doesn’t have the blinding aspect I wanted. It is buildable to an extent and does last for a while. However i do feel I have a lot better and cheaper highlights. I...

This is my dream highlighter. Glowy, vibrant, luxurious - the whole nine yards. The color is what I would describe as a creamy white gold. It's not a harsh or unnerving color, but it is...
