First up we have the highlighter that i was talking about, which i had seen swatched online and i thought how beautiful/different it looked, as it definitely has that "holographic" tone to it. I already love the loose gold highlighting powder from the brands luxe collection, so i am hoping that this just as beautiful as that one. I do have a feeling that this is going to be a very "extra" highlight, rather than your everyday natural looking glow that i would usually go for but sometimes it is good to step out of that comfort zone.
Talking of comfort zones, this year i really came out of mine and became obsessed with more cream/liquid based highlighters/contour products, so i obviously had to pick up one of the two new strobe creams from the prism range. The shade i picked up is called golden ray, as i do prefer a more of a golden/bronze toned product over pinks. I am assuming that as this is called "strobe cream" that it is going to work in a similar way to the one from MAC, which i love and have gone through so many of.
So i know i said above that i prefer golden/bronze toned highlighters over pink tones, but i really wanted to give this particular one a try because i think it would be really nice for a more subtle glow and this shade was definitely the most wearable one out of the five. I have a feeling looking at this that it is going to be quite similar to the LA Girl strobelite powders, which i love because they are super finely milled.
Next up we have the final product i picked up from the new prism range and is one i am so intrigued by as it is a jelly formula, rather than a powder or a cream. It said in the description that this jelly formula is great for a dewy looking finish, which had me instantly sold and the face you get three highlighting shades for only £5 is such a bargain. I also think that the packaging on this one is my favourite out of all of the prism range.
This highlighting duo is from the luxe range, which i have actually tried and loved so many products from this range (like the loose highlighter i was talking about above). What makes these different to the other highlighters is that these ones have a baked finish, that apparently makes the product velvet-soft for the ultimate radiance. Both of these things sold me instantly and the fact that this duo called majesty are more golden shades.
f8 fan brush | £3 |
Finally i deciding to pick up some new highlighting brushes, i have tried so many brushes from the brand over the years and i have never had any problems with them. So if you are looking for some affordable brushes, these and the freedom london brushes are both really good. This is a particular fan brush that i already own but i thought i would pick a spare up, as you can never have too many brushes right? I love fan brushes for applying highlighter, as the product just glides right onto the area and i find it so much more precise.
f7 small fan brush | £1.95 |
So as i mentioned i really like the regular F8 fan brush from the brand, so i decided to pick up the F7 which is a smaller version of the F8 and i just thought with would be good for getting slightly more precision or even simply to apply highlighter to the bridge of the nose and the cupids bow more precisely as well. Also the fact that this brush is such great quality for under £2, honestly just baffles me so much.
f11 highlighting brush | £2.50 |
Last but not least we have another highlighting brush, but this time i picked up one that i haven't tried before and that is the F11 highlighting brush. My reason for picking this brush up is because i thought it would be good for applying the loose highlighter with, rather than dipping a fan brush into a loose powder. Also i believe this is the brush that the brand used on the video clip for the highlighter, which looked like it worked well.
