My Highlighter Collection

Hey everyone! Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely love highlighter! I figured, why not share my collection of gorgeous highlighters to anyone who feels the same way about them? Let's take a closer look at my arsenal of highlights!


 Singles/Cream & Liquid Highlighters
Wet N Wild Mega Glow Highlighting Powder in Precious Petals & Crown of my Canopy (0.19 oz/5.4 g each) - Right now, Precious Petals is my every day highlighter and when I'm more tan, I use Crown of my Canopy. These are great inexpensive drugstore options that definitely pack a punch. I do have an entire blog post dedicated to these two highlighters on my old domain along with swatches. 

Bobbi Brown Brightening Finishing Powder in Bronze Glow (0.23 oz/6.6 g) - Bobbi Brown has gorgeous shades in their shimmer bricks and this finishing powder is equally as beautiful. I only wear this when I am more tanned and I either add to my highlight or as a blush topper. You can also add a light dusting to your collarbones a well as brush it onto your arms and legs for that added glow! I also have an entire review on this gorgeous highlighter. I have the old packaging.

MAC Trip The Light Fantastic Powder in Luna Luster (0.22 oz/6.5 g) - You already know that I definitely have a review on this limited edition Star Trek Highlighter from MAC! This is a highlighter that I use daily in my personal life and I just love the packaging of this! This is less pigmented than my other highlighters but I still love it for different reasons!

MAC Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel (0.60 fl oz/18 ml) - I purchased these for a discounted price at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale and I believe that this particular shade has been discontinued. This is my least used product out of the bunch but I want to start mixing it in with my foundation in the summer time!

ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in: Over The Moon, Lunch Money & Candy Man (0.15 oz/4.2 g each) -
 I have both a whole swatch blog post on all of my ColourPop products as well as a YouTube video with swatches there too that you can check out! Lunch Money is the most wearable shade out of the three and Candy Man I can wear when I am more tanned. Over The Moon I will start to use in the spring time more as it is a very unique shade. I either apply these with: my fingers, a makeup sponge or a duo-fibre brush, (but the brush will sheer the product out so keep that in mind when applying.)
Update: Candy Man has been discontinued. 


Highlighter Palettes
Carli Bybel 14 Colour Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette (1.68 oz/47.6 g) - I definitely have a review on this gorgeous palette created by the stunning Carli Bybel on YouTube. Sadly, this palette isn't available anymore as it was limited edition sold on the BH Cosmetics website and also sold at Ulta. It is very practical, I get a lot of use out of it and it is great for traveling! The highlighter shades are beautiful and I even like mixing them together!

Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition 21 Colour Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette (1.06 oz/30 g) - It comes with 6 stunning highlighters and the formula is both buttery as well as very blendable. Of course, I do have a whole swatch post and comparison post on both palettes. You used to be able to find it on the BH Cosmetics website, Ulta and Carli's website: Pranava Beauty (which no longer exists.)

Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit (0.16 oz/4.5 g each) - I remember ordering this palette on the Sephora app as soon as I got the notification and it is worth every dime! Check out my dedicated review on this palette and I did swatch all 6 shades for you! These shades are gorgeous, I love the holographic font and this palette is small enough to travel with! It was limited edition and then they brought it back over a year later. Not sure if it is going to be a permanent item.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Moon Child Glow Kit (0.15 oz/4.2 g each) - This palette contains unique shades and I remember when you weren't able to purchase it in Canada. Sephora was late to the game stocking this palette but better late than never right? I love both of my Glow Kits and I have an entire review on this palette with full swatches!


I have gone through several highlighters in the past such as: 
MAC Soft & Gentle, The Balm Mary Lou-Manizer, ColourPop Super Shock Highlighter in Wisp and a highlight from ELF many years ago that was discontinued.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

Wet N Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder in Precious Petals Review & Swatches

Hey everyone! I have been on the lookout for this highlighter for at least 6 months without exaggeration. I feel like I am the last person to buy it, but I still wanted to share this beautiful product with you and give you some swatches to look at!



The Shades & Formula
Precious Petals is a pale champagne rose gold coloured highlighter that has a beautiful leaf design embossed into the actual pan itself which makes it almost too pretty to use! There isn't a lot of fallout, it is soft and silky to the touch and it does not emphasize texture on the skin. It feels almost like butter when you finger swatch it and the formula is exceptional! It isn't too soft to the point where the pan is cracking but the powder does feel luxurious! There is another deeper shade which is called Crown of my Canopy which I finally managed to get my hands on! It is more peachy in colour and would be gorgeous on deeper skin tones!

Price & Where To Buy
I managed to snag mine from Rexall for $7.29 CAD. Their Wet N Wild section is a lot smaller than what it used to be and I wasn't able to find this product at Wal-Mart at all. These were limited edition but they have now made them permanent due to the demand! When I was in the USA, I picked up Crown of my Canopy for only $3.99 USD on sale at Rite-Aid!

Swatches & Pan Size
You are getting 0.19 oz of product or 5.4 g of products. The pan is larger in size than I expected but it isn't too big to put into your purse. When you first look at the product, it can look very glittery and that may frighten some people. Do not be afraid because you will not be looking like a disco ball when it is applied onto your face! It blends out effortlessly giving your skin a healthy glow! You have the option of building it up or sheering it out.


How To Use
You can either use this strictly as a highlighter or even as a highlighter topper, a blush topper, in the inner corners of your eyes, under your brow bone, on your eyelids as an overall wash of colour or you can even build it up to create more intensity on the eyes. I always use my ColourPop Super Shock Cheek Highlighter under my powder and after I set my face, I will then add this onto the desired areas of my face.


Overall
I am so glad to have finally got my hands on this product and it may be one of my all-time favourite highlighters from the drugstore! It is easy to travel with this compact, the leaf design is gorgeous and you can't beat the price point! This has to be one of my favourite products that Wet N Wild has ever come out with and another favourite is their Photo Focus Foundation which I have an entire review on!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
