Boy this thread is really hopping! All the Mac Soft N Gentle talk made me pull it out today. It was nice but not the end all for me. I wanted to ask again about the EL bronze goddess highlighter and how it was working out as I was going to take a look at it today but I couldn't catch up with all the posts before I left. I ended up skipping it. I hope it wasn't a mistake. I swatched it on my hand and it just didn't look like much. I do know that highlighters are the worst to judge by swatching but I left it behind for now. I did pick up the EL pink highlighter stick. I'm happy to hear that LM Indescretion is the same as Spellbound since I have Spellbound but I'm wondering why they changed the name. So odd.

The EL BG highlighter is more of an illuminator. I like it lightly brushed over my face, and then a little more concentrated on the cheekbones. It's definitely not a high-powered highlighter by any stretch. So if you prefer a more dramatic look, and not a subtle glow, I think you're totally find skipping it. Of course, it could also look completely different on other skintones, in which case, ignore everything I just said, lol.

The Royal and Langnickle one is from the Silk Pro line and the other one has no name. It's a large thick fluffy fan brush with a dark brown handle.

BC300? http://beautyusa.royalbrush.com/products/bc300-silk-fan

Aren't you afraid that they'll go bad because they are exposed to light?

No. I've had this setup for years now with on ill effects---it is in a corner in a room in which the door is always open, shielding the polish from direct light.

It doesn't even begin to give the gloss & glow of the powder gelees of old----this is a completely different product.

Picked up Pink Rebel lustre drops from one of the recent MAC releases. I dab a tiny bit on my cheekbones, and dust EL ccourreges illuminating face powder over it-- the result is heavenly!!

Awesome Lauren. I think I picked that one up when it was released with the Baking Beauties collection. I'm glad you mentioned it. I need to use it again sometime!!!
I get so mired down with the new stuff that I forget about the oldies but goodies!!!

[COLOR=0000FF] Sorry for the late reply Ernie. A fan brush would be just perfect to use w/Blushed Copper---it would minimize the[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF] amount of product that's picked up.[/COLOR]

thanks Medgal!

The Royal and Langnickle brush is the one bc300 silk fan

The no name one looks like the silk kabuki even with the skunk stripe. Except the handle is brown.

I use my least dense fan brush for highly pigmented highlighters that might be easy to over-do. So that would be MAC fan brush (not great), Laura Mercier (much better),
and then very dense, the Louise Young fan brush.

Thanks! I have a couple fan brushes but they aren't fluffy. I'm going to try this Ecotools (synthetic) one: https://www.ecotools.com/brushes/face-tools/deluxe-fan-brush I'll also probably get a kabuki one with natural hair/bristles.

I got it from Drugstore.com because I have Shoprunner free 2-day shipping. It was on sale for $5.59 + tx. I don't feel like walking into multiple drug stores looking for it, lol. Thanks for your help.

I just put it in my Amazon cart LOL

I have Amazon Prime (includes free 2 day shipping) so I'll pull the trigger when I order from this sometime this week.

I always end up ordering a bunch of random things from Amazon about once a week! Stuff I don't feel like going out and buying

Amazon Prime is both awesome and dangerous, lol. I'm always like "Ooooh! I can have that in TWO DAYS??? Don't mind if I do!"

I have Prime too. But it was an add-on there I think so I didn't bother. I love their Amazon Prime Now and Fresh.
