I love this product. I purchased it in Ethereal Light. The product has a whitish case to it which does not translate to the skin. I purchased it online, so I can't really comment on the various...

Overpriced and gimmicky with cheap packaging. Try it if you're curious but don't be surprised if you're disappointed. If you didn't know this was Hourglass, the packaging wouldn't tip you off....

I was interally debating whether to categorize this product as a highlighter or powder. I settled on powder because this is more of an illuminating powder than a spot highlighter. Ambient Lighting...
