Stila Kitten shimmer duo

I succumbed to the hype and brought Still Kitten Shimmer Duo and I love it! It so pretty in its packaging, I sat and looked at it for ages! It has a really nice fine texture and the shimmer is stunning, I have used the pale side as an all over eyeshadow and teamed it with Buck from the Naked palette forms subtle day time look , today I mixed the dark and light side together and used it as a blush, it laws great, looked like I had put heaps of effort into my makeup and in fact I was running late. It blends beautifully and I think I will be reaching for it regularly

Kitten

I think the hype kind of gave me too high expectations for this highlighter. Everyone has been raving about Kitten for a while now and while I do like it, I wouldn't say its my favourite.

It has a gorgeous shimmery pink tone to it. Kind of similar to High Beam's shade. I don't use the darker powder in the duo but I'm really keen to try the liquid form of kitten. I suppose it will be very similar to high beam.

It applies really nicely as a fine powder, less grainy and sparkly than Soft and Gentle.

I think I'd recommend this over S&G for a first time highlighter user as its hard to over do it with this powder.

Its not my favourite because I adore a bright highlight and its just a tad too subtle for me. Still a good product though!!

Tips: I apply it using a brush but I think using your finger could work better.

Loved it until it shattered...

I finally gave into the hype and purchased the shimmer duo. It quickly became my HG highlighter. The light shade was perfect for highlighting the tops of my cheek bones and the bridge of my nose while the darker side made for a gorgeous eyeshadow. The powder is buttery smooth and surprisingly pigmented. I used this with my sigma tapered highlighter brush and adored the look it gave my skin.

However... I accidentally dropped it off my bed one day and the whole light side shattered while the dark side stayed in tact. I'm giving it a slightly lower score as I feel the compact should be able to take a few knocks without completely ruining the product. I'm considering buying a replacement but my local mecca is all sold out so i'm going to try out a few different ones in the meantime

Overall great product but flimsy packaging.

Tips: Don't drop it!

Highlighting duo

I have mixed feelings over this product, while it's pretty and I like it I feel it's extremely overpriced. It didn't help that when I received mine one of the pans had come loose, luckily the product was fine and I just needed to superglue the sucker back in. But it sort of dishearten me when paying so much and to have the packaging falling apart be your first impression! Otherwise the case is very compact and cute with a small mirror. The 2 highlighters inside are very pretty, a light pink and a bronzy shade, which I assume is the infamous 'Kitten' While they are very pretty as a highlighter I really like to pop them on my lids. They have a very illuminizing sheen to them without looking glittery. They are reasonably buttery (not flakey or powdery) and have nice pigment, you only need a light hand. They apply smoothly, I prefer to use my fingers rather then a brush as I haven't an appropriate brush that allows me enough control. Once on they are very long lasting.

Thanks for the review...this sounds nice, I love a good highlight. Probably have enough highlighters though...but this is tempting. Highlighters often make great eye shades :) I use most of mine in that way too.

I have been eyeing this up for ages as I have their all over shimmer Face Luminizer Powder - which I like. I use this as a highlight and on my lids as well. I think I really only want this because of Kitten, which seems a waste of $

Undecided

I love the shimmer in this duo! So pretty however, I don't seem to reach for it often. When I do use it, I always find myself using the lighter shade as opposed to the darker shade. It's a bit pricey for what it is and I also find it very powdery if that even makes sense!

Still love my mary lou

Stila Kitten is such a statement shade in the beauty world. This duo is very nice and shimmery and is a good highlight with a buttery texture when applied but it is so small for its price. I really like this but for some reason when i apply it, i reach for my marylou and apply that over this. It doesn't make a vast difference but the over all sheen and glow doesn't justify for the price.

Also, mine broke for some reason and i didn't even drop it then i came across many other youtubers whose also broken theirs so i dont know whats the deal with that.

Although because the shade is so amazing, i bought this in the liquid illuminizer form and i like it better than this one because the finish is much more natural like I'm glowing from within.

LOVEEE

This is one of my favourite highlighters!! I love the duo because you can use one colour or my favourite use them both and it creates a beautiful highlight colour! A perfect glow which I like to use on my cheekbones and my cupids bow and the tip of my nose for a beautiful highlight! would definitely recommend to a friend :)

LOVE THIS!!

I got gifted this for my birthday and it is amazing! I love both sides - I usually wear both together. I like using the light side as a highlighter and the darker colour as a blush! They would be just as good to use with other products as well. They provide a nice subtle shimmery glow which isn't too overpowering. I have been wearing them over mac pro long wear which seems to work pretty well. I apply it with real techniques contour brushes!

Tips: blend the colours together for a third tone!

Favourite Highlighter

This is now my favourite highlighter. It is sooo pretty! I love that it comes with two different shades so you can either use one or the other or mix the two. This gives a super pretty highlight, but it isn't over the top or too much for day wear. This is also amazing as an eyeshadow or to use in the inner corner of your eyes. Really fine powder, easy to apply, not chunky at all. Awesome product!
