    I bought this on sale on Ebay (they don´t sell physicians in Brazil) because I just loved the cute packaging. When I first used it, I found it too shimmery. But I reckon it was just a first layer...

    I like the cute packaging. I use this all over my face when I go to the beach. Not amazing but it does what it says. I probably wont buy this again though.

    I really hate this powder, and I am going to blame it for my own mistake. If I remember correctly, it was about $10. I forgot that "illuminating" means "we added some sparkly crap", and bought this...

    I have been very happy with the results I have gotten with the Retro Glow powder. I use the translucent, and have found that the glitter is throughout the powder. I'm usually not a big fan of...

    Received this in a swap from a lovely MUAer, in the Crystal cameo shade. The compact exudes a retro vintage glamour feel, though abit cheap looking. :P The product itself deserves 5 stars! This...

    Okay. I'm writing this review because I've written a few good ones over the past few weeks, but, truthfully, I much prefer to be nasty. This powder is the perfect opportunity. First of all, the...

    Walgreen's was having an introductory sale on this, so I picked it up for $2.50, and I'm so glad I did. I'm not really into sparkle, but it just gives skin a bit of a sheen. You could use it all...

    Gosh, wanted to like it so bad! I was drawn to the adorable packaging with the glimmery cameo in the middle and was hoping I might find my HG highlighter. One light swipe across my skin and YUCK....

    I like this product. It gives me a nice natural finsih with a little bit of sheen. Packaging is not the best as it does not include a puff or mirror. Pretty looking cameo in the center give it...

    This shimmers nicely, if that's what you're going for, but it feels like stage makeup on your skin. My skin couldn't breathe at all, which is a bad, bad thing. The little cameo is cute. I wish...

    There is nothing special about this product. The only part of it that gave my face a little shimmer was the head in the middle which was gone after two applications (the shimmer part is only a...
