This little gem is getting buried with me! Yip! That's right. Never have I expressed such love for a makeup item before. I don't know if it's because it took me so long to build up the guts to purchasing this (kind of pricy), or the fact when I did find somewhere online to buy it from I stuffed it up so badly I sent it on a round the world trip first and was about to pay $50 odd for delivery! Once I Realised my error the company cancelled my order. Since then many friends have heard me cry about how I need this in my life. Where do I buy it from so I'm not making another error? Do I really need it??
Well I brought from Mecca NZ. Easy and I didn't mess up the order. Prices in NZD, quick shipping Done easy! Yes oh yes did I need it in my life!! Like Oh my gawd yes where have you been!
So it got here and looked all pretty in the amazing cover. With amazing mirror and sturdy closing feature. How do I use it?? What's it really for?? So off to youtube I went and watched Jaclyn Hill. Oh my! It made her look amazing.
Off to the mirror I trotted, did what I seen her do and walaa! I looked pretty darn good even if I do say so myself! Had to take a selfie just to see if my eyes were lying, and nope Yay I look good! The comments on IG agree with me. Now that's saying something!
So this delightful pack of 3 magic powders will be always restocked! How do you use it you ask?? Well what I do is get a soft brush, pick either 1 colour or run the brush over all of them, place the brush in your temple and brush out towards your ear. Then start again at the corner of your eye and brush down to the tip of your nose. Add a bit above the cupids bow on your lip and chin and anywhere else you wanna glow!
I've been using it manly over the Rovie mineral foundation powder "Ongelique" and have used it over my Oasis BB cream "The Monroe" So works with powers or creams fine.
It's seriously worth the investment! Off to update the will now! (To be placed beside me in death, do we not part)
This was one of those products that I had seen people rave about on youtube. It felt like every guru I watched was saying incredible things about this, so I decided to splurge and purchase it for myself. I have to admit I was scared I wouldn't like it because it is (for me) a massive investment.
The packaging for this is absolutely beautiful. It is a long palette with gorgeous rose gold packaging. It feels sturdy and expensive (which is good because it IS expensive). Inside is a large mirror and the three exquisite powders.
Each power feels slightly creamy and soft. There are three powders and they are as follows;
Dim Light: This is a light peach shade that I love to use to set my face. The peach pigment isn't super strong so it doesn't make your face look peach - it just adds a super subtle warmth.
Incandescent Light: This is the limited edition shade (I believe it is exclusive to this palette), and unfortunately is my favourite shade. This is the perfect subtle, moon lit highlight. It is so exquisite and beautiful that I would happily purchase this in a full size if it were offered.
Radiant Light: This is a subtle tan shade that I like to use over bronzer or in place of a very subtle contour. Like Dim Light, the pigment in this isn't super strong and is very subtle.
Overall I love all of these powders. Be warned that they are very, very subtle. At first it looks like they do nothing but when you step back from the mirror you can see that your skin has an astoundingly beautiful candlelit glow. I honestly can't rave about these enough - all of the reviews I watched and read before purchasing this were right on point.
The first time I wore this to work I had two male coworkers tell me that my skin looked nice and that I had a glow (!). I don't wear makeup for anyone but myself but this definitely made me appreciate this palette - if my male coworkers can tell I have a glow then it must be good :P
If you are on the fence about this my suggestion is BUY IT. I realise it is an expensive product and is an investment, but I think it every woman should have at least one product that makes them feel luxurious and beautiful. For me this is it.
