Good stuff
-03.23.13
Overall I like this product. It's easy to apply, has good shine, super silky and the packaging is super cute. The reason I gave it 4stars is because it doesn't give me that wow factor.

Not blown away
-03.15.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage, glittery
I purchase this in Sin after many You Tube gurus raved about it, and I was going through a highlighter stage. It's almost oily to me. It's pretty, much definitely glittery. I wouldn't say it gives a dewy look. More chunky glitter effect. It also doesn't stay put very well and it seems to accentuate dry areas. I don't hate it, but I don't reach for it very often.

Sin is Awesome!!
-03.13.13
I have been very addicted and attached to my Watt's Up by Benefit and thought I couldn't find another highlighter to live up to it. This one is just as good! It's a bit more shimmery and the colors are almost the same. I put it on my brow bone and cheek area. I love it!!

Quick Take: face highlighter
I love the glow that it gives!!! It would also be good to try different colours because if you put it on top of your make up it discolours it.

Great Urban Decay product. I use this to highlight cheekbones and nose. A little goes a long way so be careful not to apply too much.
Product is shimmer based so this is great for a night out or summer day angelic look.

Shimmy up
-02.01.13
I was in the market for a new highlighter and this one came recommended. While it does have major staying power (always a plus) and is SUPER creamy and goes on super easy, it is SUPER shimmery. More glittery then for the every day work casual look. I could totally see myself wearing this for a night outfit, going out, but not for everyday, it's a little too much.

Like It
-01.31.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
It goes on smooth and blends in well but it seems to irritate my skin a little. It was a little itchy in the area where I applied it.

I like it but . . .
-01.30.13
it's a little sparkly, much more so than the Benefit High Beam. It's only noticeable when I look in a magnified mirror so I don't think it's a big deal. It goes on smoothly and I like the consistency better than High Beam, I'll probably continue to use both.

less dewy, more greasy
-01.19.13
I have to say, I bought this product for nice highlighting and it is a bit greasy. I have to apply this product with a foundation brush to help blend out all of the texture, as it goes on less "silky" than it describes. a little bit goes a long way though, and I will keep it and use it again.

Just enough glimmer
-01.05.13
Quick Take: subtle highlight
I was hesitant to order a highlight from Urban Decay but admittedly the cream highlight is a perfect addition to my make-up pallette. It's not overwhelming and adds just enough glimmer and highlight for me to wear everyday, even to work. If you want a more dramatic highlight or coverage, I wouldn't opt for this one. In summary, I really like it's texture and this addition.

Love this stuff. It glides on effortlessly and a little goes a long way. I do find it a bit expensive but at the same time I know it will last a long time.

Super Amazing!
-12.04.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, worth it
This is by far the best highlighter I've ever tried. It's not sticky and it makes your face glow, like the Victoria Secret model cheekbone effect. It looks amazing in pictures.

Sin
-11.19.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, dewy, blendable
While I understand why some people may sum this highlight as "greasy," I like to think of it more as a lightweight, non sticky cream that highlights extremely well and adds just the right amount of shimmer. A little goes a long way here. My only reason for giving four stars instead of five is that I find it a little difficult to manage a matte finish with this highlight, since its finish is dewy. Great for people who strive for dewy finishes, but I've found that I really can't use much if I want to keep my face matte. Still, a great purchase.

It depends on how you use it....
-10.18.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage, irredescent, creamy
I like this highlight, but depending on how you use it, it can give you a greasy look. So I wouldn't apply too much. It has a slight irredescent sheen (slightly rainbowish). But it makes my cheeks stand out and works great with cream blushes. I wouldn't combine it with powder blush.

Quick Take: soft shimmer, dewy
This stuff is amazing! I worried that it would make me look too shiny and oily, but as long as you don't use too much it looks beautiful! Makes me makeup look soft and dewy and I feel beautiful wearing it! :) I've had it for a couple of weeks now and still looks barely used so even though it seems like a high price, it'll last a long time! Money well spent! I will never go without it again!
