HUDA BEAUTY SUMMER SOLSTICE 3D HIGHLIGHTER PALETTE REVIEW

03:39:00

Hello angels,

I am back from a short lesiure trip to Abu Dhabi .. Feeling super lazy but I really wanted to try new highlighter palette from Huda Beauty and wanted to share my review on it. Its a 3D highlighter in Summer solstice. This highlighter palette has 1 cream based highlighter formula which is known for giving a natural dewy effect or which can also be layered over the powders. And other 3 are powder base highlighter. These highlighter comes in a square palette with a full size mirror on one side. The four highlighters are divided into 4 quadrants.

Saint Tropez It’s a cream base highlighter a bright gold with warm undertones. The creamy consistency dries out to powder form after application. Its little tacky as once is sets in its difficult to blend. Gives complete opacity and highly pigmented. It does give metallic sheen but the shade may match on only few skin tones.

Malibu it’s a copper shade with warm undertones. It gives semi opaque coverage and lasts for around 8 hrs.

Copacabana It’s a soft pink with warm undertones. It gives pearly sheen when applied. It gives hint of pink color to cheeks which really looks natural. The texture is soft and blends effortlessly into skin.

Mykonos It’s a beautiful deep magenta highlighter it has cool undertones and contains iridescent shimmer. Its highly pigmented but gives semi opaque coverage in one application .. the formula is buildable having dense texture. Its quite long lasting and blends easily into skin. It gives little metallic sheen when applied on cheeks.

Overall the texture is thin and not so dense its easy to blend. Also they are quite long lasting. The shades really give you metallic sheen also you can use them for natural glowy look. I love using highlighters even on daily basis. Well this palette I do recommend for all skin types and for parties. Also do try them before getting your hands on them. I personally loved Mykonos I never had tried purple tone highlighters and so this was completely different for me.
Have you tried any oh huda beauty highlighters? If yes, which one is your favourite ?

NEW LOREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH LUMI POWDER ILLUMINATOR ROSE REVIEW

01:20:00

Hello angels,

If you have read my previous post where I was talking about LOREAL TRUE MATCH LIQUID ILLUMINATOR likewise today I will review NEW LOREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH LUMI POWDER ILLUMINATOR IN ROSE.

I always love using drugstore illuminators and bronzers. L’oreal has some amazing range of highlighters and contouring powders. These highlighter comes in square shaped rose colored see through compact with a brush and full size mirror. The compact is travel friendly and can be used on the go..

This highlighter consists of 4 shades which you can use them individually as well as together. You can also use them to highlight inner corner of your eyes and brow points.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Highlight Key Features or Illuminate All-Over. Lightweight Formula. For every skin tone and undertone. The ultimate luminosity. L’Oréal Paris introduces its first powder highlighter specifically crafted to highlight key features or illuminate all-over. Designed in Golden, Rose, and Ice shades that flatter every skintone from warm to neutral to cool. Golden Illuminator enhances peachy or yellow tones in warm skintones. Rose Illuminator enhances yellow, peachy, pink or blue tones in neutral skintones. Ice Illuminator enhances pink or blue tones in cool skin tones.

This highlighter is basically powder so the texture definitely feels little drier when applied on skin. It blends well but only if you don’t have dry skin. It can accentuate dry patches. Also it doesn’t look good when you apply over matte foundation. The powder is finely milled and all of the shades are pretty good. it also contains fine shimmer particles which gives that glowy look. It looks better when applied on liquid illuminator. This highlighter shade will work for lighter skin tones having cool OR neutral undertones.

It doesn't fade or smudge around stays well for 4-5 hrs. It doesn't accentuate my pores. I have used better powder highlighters and for me this doesn't work completely. Although the quantity of the product is much when compared to price of it. Also I didn’t like some of the shades had that chunky silver glitter which looked obvious on skin. Pigmentation is fair enough so is the color pay off. I would want them to be more intense. You have too take enough product on your brush for getting that glow. Or else you can take little product and apply them over your liquid illuminators. This will completely enhance your look. also I would wish for the formula to have a little more softer and creamier feel. The formula is ultralight and doesn't feel like you have applied one.

Overall I may recommend this product for its affordable price and for the beginners who really want a good drugstore highlighter. I wouldn’t recommend for dry skin as it can look patchy. There is lot of fallouts when trying to apply the product with brush. I loved the liquid version more but the powder is good when you really have good base and well hydrated skin.
Have you tried them yet? let me know which one is better liquid or powder?
