Jlo glow? Benefit's cookie highlighter!!
The formulation of these highlighters are just so creamy and like they describe are super silky with high shine and glow. I have the shade cookie - A warm light champagne shade that looks like it will be suitable for light to medium skin tones.However I suprisingly still do feel that cookie looks beautiful on my medium-tan skin tone. They also do have another pink shade- Ticked. This to me, is a unique rose gold shade with a golden undertone and preferably more suitable for medium to dark skin tones, although light skin tones could probably wear it aswell!
I just love the way this formulation melts into the skin and can transform any matte foundation or full coverage foundation into a more skin like dewy/glowy finish.
I felt like everytime I did my highlighter using the benefit's cookie highlighter it transformed my look and just bought the whole look together.
My favourite way of using this product is even on more minimal days- tinted moisturizer/ concealer, mascara and a light hand of Benefit's cookie swiped over the cheeks.. and guess what? I had all my friends ask me how my skin was glowing!!:)
Summary
PROS:
Very smooth formulation on the skin
Won't accentuate texture
2 shades to choose from and either 1 or both shades should work for your skin tone
Very buildable- can use a light hand and get a beautiful glow and if built up, you'll be glowing like the moon!
A little product goes a long way so will last you long.
Gives a very beautiful sheen and dew to the skin that some highlighter formulations can lack.
CONS:
Some people may feel likes its pricey- It is benefit cosmetics which retails at a mid-price range: £26 RRP for 8g
Box packaging- some people find it cute, some find it bulky- you decide? Personally the boxed products are growing on me and I'm liking the actual products and hey- they are pretty cute!
Some may feel like it's less product (8g) compared to other highlighters in a similar price range (which can contain 10g). One of my favourites!! Love it.
