After looking for the perfect highlighter, one that popped up on my blog search very frequently was MAC's Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle. This was quite expensive at £22 but worth every penny! On the skin it looks a lot lighter than in the pan, but the glitter and colour of it is beautiful. It looks lovely applied on the top of the cheek bone on its own, or even with a nice bronzed tan to give a nice, warm and healthy glow.
As the name of the product suggests, it is really 'soft and gentle'. It doesn't make you look like a walking glitter ball and just adds a small hint of shimmer. The champagne glimmers look absolutley beautiful and lasts a good 6-7 hours. Also, a little does go a long way! I only swatched this very lightly on my hand above and gave a nice, even glow.
Overall I'd definitely recommend and repurchase! It is on the expensive side but I have no faults as of yet!

It's lovely :) I definitely recommend this one! xx
DeleteOhhh, yes! Lovely choice! I know it seems a bit expensive but I SWEAR it lasts forever! xx -b.
ReplyDeleteYes it does! I've been using it everyday and it looks like I've barely used any! xx
DeleteOh that looks fab! As I have pale skin I am always on the lookout for bronzey type products but that aren't too dark/orangey, but this looks beautiful! I haven't bought any MAC in a while actually!

I'd definitely recommend if you have pale skin! Let's just use this as an excuse to get more MAC goodies :P xx
DeleteHow would you say it compares to NARS Albatross? Albatross is my current favorite so I couldn't help wondering.
ReplyDeleteAlso could you please check out my blog? I hope you'll like it :) http://thesecretlifeofabeautylover.blogspot.com
I've not tried Albatross so I can't say for certain, but I think this will be slightly warmer because it's more of a golden, champagney colour :) Sure I will! Xx
DeleteAlbatross looks white in the pan but on the skin it turns into a golden shimmer too! But from the swatches I do think I prefer Albatross. You should try it. I will do a post about it soon so you can see it :)

DeleteI have one of these in gold deposit and this one is next on my list! It looks so beautiful doesn't it?! I really need a new highlighter too xx
ReplyDeleteIt's so gorgeous I could literally just stare at it for hours haha :) xx
DeleteThis is obviously a blogger favorite, but it's always something I convince myself I don't really need since I have so many other highlighters...but seeing your swatch it looks so pretty!
