OK - I don't get this product. I've been curious about it for a while now, and got a generous sample of it from a MAC counter. I'm almost done with the sample, having used it everytime I've worn...

My favorite highlighter! I have oily skin so I only use a tiny bit along my cheekbones, but it had a huge effect. My skin looks instantly better but it doesn't scream GLITTER. I like that it is...

I like this a lot, it gives a very nice luminous glow without looking glittery (or even shimmery) at all. I use this mixed with foundation, I pour an equal amount of each (I use makeup forever HD...

Somehow this is super thick, yet not moisturizing. The sheen is really obvious on my skin..i just look like a greaseball. I prefer NARS brightening serum.

This cream is pretty thick, so I was expecting it to be very moisturizing. My face ended up way too shiny and actually accentuated the flaky areas of my face.
