Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This highlighter, plus Erase Paste, are my new complexion perfectors. Even this product on its own is amazing. It works very well with my fair skin.

Quick Take: soft shimmer
I was on the hunt for a highlighter during the sephora sale last month. My bro was getting married and I wanted to look great. I went with the YSL touche eclat. It was good but wasn't the HG it was touted as being. Plus, I don't really care for the packaging. I find the whole pen thing annoying and feel that I am wasting product and at $40 bucks a pop no less.
I got a sample size of this a mere 3 days ago for my b-day and I am officially blown away. This is my HG. I have been looking all over for that miracle product that would give me that glowy, golden look only to be disappointed again and again. What a surprise to have been gifted with this little miracle in stick form for my b-day. I also prefer the application on this. That YSL touche eclat will be going back to the store.

Let's me start by saying that you get a lot of product for the money and that a little goes a long way, so this tube will last you a long time. I received Watts Up in the BI birthday gift and instantly fell in love with it. You can use it at the top of the cheek bones, the brow bone and at the cupid's bow. It adds a subtle shimmer to your face and just lights it up. It's gorgeous on any skintone.

-05.15.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I originally got this as a sample and fell in love with it. I was complemented on how my 40 year old skin looked like it was glowing. I purchased the full size and it's taken a little time getting used to the fat tip on it, but I've got it down now. I feel pretty dull on days that I don't wear it:)

tricky applicaiton
-05.14.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
i'm still trying to figure out the whole highlight and contour thing, but this is a great tool to help. the shimmer is not overwhelming and the highlight is subtle. this product just highlights your natural beauty.

First highlighter and I love it
-05.11.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer
I've never used a highlighter before but when I got a sample of this product I fell in love with it. I love using it in different regions of my face. My only issue with it is, I wish it was a bit more "creamier" because in some areas of my face it looks a bit dry after application, other than that it's great!

Quick Take: soft shimmer, luminous, natural looking
I'm always on the hunt for the perfect highlighter and this is one of the best!! It is very natural looking and I just love the color. Ugh.. it's beautiful.. It is definitely not overly shimmering, it provides just the right amount of luminosity to your skin.

I recieved this in my birthday box and I will be purchasing it again. It is the perfect beige shimmer. I've been using it as an everyday eye shadow to add some shimmer to my eye. It has great staying power! One of the better highlighters on the market!

-05.04.13
Quick Take: soft shimmer, blendable, natural, glowy
I have dry skin that needs as much of a glow as possible, and this does the trick. It makes me look lit from within, without ever crossing the line into oily, and is very easy to apply. I would like to note that the sponge is virtually useless. It blends better with my fingers.

Much better than Anastasia's
-05.04.13
IMO, this is a softer color and more creamy than the one Anastasia makes. More subtle but still wonderfully highlighting.

Love the soft shimmer that happens when I use this product. I have issues with under eye darkness and wear glasses, which doesn't help. With Watt's Up I immediately notice a difference.

This is definitely a must have for every girl! I received the trial size in the sephora birthday gift kit. Instant love <3. I had to have the full size. This is definitely a must have in every girls cosmetic collection. I love the beautiful glow it gives my skin!
