I was really on the fence about this one. I hated it originally but I like it better now. It's hard to apply and comes out kind of streaky but with a little practice, I've gotten the hang of it. ...

This is definitely not a holy grail illuminator for me. I've had better results with a cream highlighter. I think the problem may be due to it's heavily pink-toned base and the shimmery particles...

I actually thought it was the liquid pink highlighter I had been searching for. Not so. When I got home and used it, I noticed it was a little bit of liquid and a whole lot of GLITTER! I had...

This was an impulse buy for me since I was considering getting a highlighter for my 50's Sock-Hop Halloween costume. Every time I unscrew the cap, the product won't stop coming out! It's as if...

This did not work for me at all. I purchased in both Sunbeam and Gleam (the only two shades available) on the recommendation of an Ulta sales gal when I was looking to add to my highlighter...

This is an okay product. It's definitely too sparkly on it's own, but when I mix a drop or two with my foundation, it gives me an actual glow instead of oily shine, which is great! However, when...

At first, I wasn't really sure what to do with this. I actually don't know why I even bought it in the first place but I think the NYX website was having a sale and I was intrigued by this product....

As many of the reviews have already stated, there are definite sparkles in this. I originally wanted to use it on my cheekbones but there are a ton of sparkles! It also dries very quickly so you...

My local CVS just got their NYX products in, and I was so excited about this illuminator when I saw it. I bought this, got in my car, squeezed a tiny amount on the back of my hand, rubbed it in,...

I love this illuminator! It's just sparkly enough to make you look awake and refreshed, as well as highlighting your features. I don't like it so much on my nose as much as on my cheekbones,...

Good makeup for an 11 year old. Yes it gives a sheen to your cheekbones but along with that glitter/sparkles. Honestly what person over the age of 17 wants sparkles on their cheekbones. People who...

I have used this and High Beam. I'd be a fool to pay the high price for Benefit ever again. I mix this with fn or BB cream to get a nice natural glow that seems to blur imperfections. You bet I...

Sunbeam is a light pink pearly/shimmery highlighter. It is an excellent dupe for Benefits High Beam!! Seriously, I swatched them both at Ulta and could not tell the difference!! I think the NYX...
