Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette

So I am from South Africa and this palette retails for R375 which is about $30. Firstly, it’s quite pricy for a drugstore product so I done my research and I found really great reviews so I went ahead and bought it. This is the second highlighter that I bought and the first was global glow by Mac. At first, I loved it, but then I noticed how every colour almost looks the same on the skin? (I am …Read more

To me this is a very average highligher palette, I don't understand why almost everyone seems to give it glowing reviews. It's not bad by any means, just not as great as i expected it to be from reading and watching tonnes of other reviews. When i use a regular highlighting brush to apply this i feel like it doesn't pick up much of the undertone of each colour (which was …Read more

This is definitely a good value for the price! You're getting 7 different highlighters for $19. I remember when this first came out, it was when highlighting was really starting to becoming a thing so I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I was also so drawn to that purple shade. I knew I'd try all of them except the gold. Still haven't used the gold lol, not sure I ever …Read more

I love shimmering products and I'd rather highlight features and focus less on overdone contouring. These colors are so versatile and fun to play with. I use the deepest bronze/pink shade as a blush and the others as a highlight or an eyeshadow. The price is reasonable and I've gotten a lot of use out of it. Well worth the purchase!

NYX has been doing these great flash sales where they give free shipping with no minimums. I ended up getting this at a 40% discount w/ free shipping. I have wanted this since it's release date but couldn't bring myself to pay that much for an "affordable" brand. This palette is a gem. If the shade doesn't work on the cheekbones, it works for eyeshadow. Of course, any …Read more

Great colors and nice pigmentation for a low price. The highlighters are however very powdery so theres a lot of fallout in the pan. The packaging also doesnt have a mirror in it.

The colors look really nice in the inner corner or on the cheekbones. The highlighters wear for a long time.

"Strobe of Genius" is an apt name for this palette which is probably my all time HG illuminator! I like this better than many higher end highlighters like the Jeffree Star skin frosts (which just ball up on my skin) and I even like it better than the Becca highlighters because I think the NYX has a more interesting colour selection. The powders are so finely milled they really do give …Read more

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PALETTE! I purchased it because I really wanted to try out a highlighter palette. You get all shades you need no matter which skin tone you are :) The highlighters aren't too intense but also not too soft. Whenever I used any highlighter of this palette, people would always compliment my highlight.

Great product! So many colors - love the variety! The powders are soft and finely milled. They blend nicely. This is a very versatile palette. Great price for how much you get and for the quality. I have many, many (MANY) highlighters, ranging from high end to drugstore. This is up there among the top.

This is definitely the best drugstore powdered highlighter I have bought! Doesn't use a lot of product to get a bold highlight & the colours look great on any skin tone!
