Great highlighter
-11.17.12
Quick Take: blends easily
Love this highlighter pencil! So glad I scooped up two of them before they were gone. It's great for the waterline, the inner corners of the eye as well as the brow.

Eh, nothing special
-11.13.12
I really expected a lighter, brighter shimmer and Contrast. although I am fair/medium, this just disappeared into my skin. Not impressed with it at all. It MAY work better with darker tones, if you're willing to gamble.

Cruelty-free & like Benefit's discontinued Gilded
-11.08.12
Just wonderful, always loved Benefits Gilded but it got discontinued.. ;___; BUT Anastasia to the rescue, and cruelty-free (I am passionate about that in make ups). Glides on smooth and lasts - use it on the inner corners of my eyes. LOVE it. :)

Quick Take: anastasia shimmer highlighter
This is a great highlighter pen. I sweep it across my brow bones and cheek bone and blend with my finger for an effortless glow of radiance.

Great for a no-makeup day
-08.29.12
Quick Take: quick and easy
In the summer, I don't like waste a lot of time applying makeup that's just going to melt off my face. I usually stick to mascara and some powder bronzer. In the past, I had also used Benefit's Guilded eyeshadow stick, but they stopped making it a while back. This shimmer stick is an exact replica of Guilded. I use this on the inner half of my lids, just above my lash line. It provides a great shimmer, draws attention to my eyes, and is quick and easy to apply. Great when you wake up late or want to keep makeup simple. I love it.

Not a Must
-08.25.12
Quick Take: just okay
This is an okay item, especially for the money you pay but it's not great. I used this shimmer highlighter on my brow bone and at the inner corner of my eyes but the results didnt look as good as when I'd use my eyeshadow. I much rather Anastasia Brow Duality because it's more versatile.

I love this product! I just wish Sephora didn't discontinue the other shades. I would totally buy all three if I could since it's a great deal!

great for eye inner corners, so-so for below brows
-08.06.12
They recommend using this right below the brows to highlight the arch, and to me it just doesn't have much of an effect there. It is PERFECT, however, for the inner corners of my eyes. You know, for that bright-eyed, awake, alert look. It's a light, gold-tone pearl. Is it worth the price? That depends on how hard you've been looking for a product like this. I bought it on a whim because the price was good and I thought it would be a nice experiment. I like it enough in the inner eye corners that I would probably buy it again, but for the length of the pencil and for how little I'm using, it's going to last a looooong time.

Adds shimmer to brow, nothing that a little eyeshadow can't create. It's what I expected for $10 bucks. Keeping it, but could of lived without it.

Love it
-06.08.12
Quick Take: blends easily
I fill in my brows with the Anastasia pencil and then swipe this right below and smudge it a tad. Then I use the brow gel and I'm done. My brows are awesome! This pencil really makes a difference, I never knew it until I went and the makeup girl told me to try it, I really don't like my eyebrows but after using this product and the other ones in this line, I think my brows are so much better! I use matte and shimmer, depends n my mood.

Disappointed
-06.07.12
This was actually the only thing from Sephora that I have ever returned. I didn't like it at all, I didn't find it to blend very easily and it just looked awkward on me.

A must have!
-05.08.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, cruelty-free
I adore this pencil!
I got it in "Petal" and it does great with my fair skin tone.
Easy to apply and stays on all day.
Being cruelty-free and inexpensive makes it all that better.
Every girl should have this in her make up collection!

Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, cruelty free, inexpensive, glows
I got this product in Petal because chiffon was out of stock but, I'm glad I did.
The pink shade goes wonderful with benefit high beam and too faced's candlelight glow!
I draw a line under my brows and smudge it with my finger.
The end result is subtle and pretty.
Love the fact that this is a cruelty free product!
The price is right, too!

I don't like to wear a lot of makeup so this pencil is really nice to put in the corners of my eyes and it makes eyes look brighter.

Does the Job
-04.05.12
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant, average
Anastasia's Lace Eye Lights Shimmer is a nice product to have on hand.
The color is great and it stays for a good amount of time.
I was happy the product blended easily and applied well to the eyes.
I was expecting to be blown away...perhaps my hopes were too high, however I have tried other eye lights and this gets lost in the mix.

-04.05.12
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
I know this pencil highlighter is going to last a very long time. I feel like I got my moneys worth. Plus it's the easiest and longest lasting (doesn't rub off) highlighter I've ever used!

not sure on this one
-04.04.12
I got the gold shad and it doesn't really show up either the shimmer or the tone. I got a deal at $10 but wouldn't say it was even worth that. May be better in other colors, not sure.

I don't notice much difference when I put this on. I have to say I like benefit eye bright better. It's just okay.
