Yes, I'm slowly overdoing it myself!! I'm already confused about which one to use in the a.m as it is! How do you like EL BG Gelee powder? I never pay attention to EL when I go to mine! I'll check it out next week. I was there this a.m. Precisely! Exactly! Definitely!

Lol, I thought I was the only one having a tough time deciding which highlighter to use. I swear I get so overwhelmed as to which one to use, especially since many of them are new, so I'm still in the stage where I want to use them all The EL Gelee is very subtle and illuminates my cheeks with a hint of a warm glow. I can build and build without over doing it, it's not very pigmented at all. I'm about a MAC NC 23-25 with yellow undertones. I honestly prefer the EL All Over Illuminating Stick, it's a gorgeous highlight with a peachy-pink glow!

What is the difference between a highlighter and MAC beauty powder? I know I have already asked this question (probably in another thread) but it's still not clear to me.

i think beauty powders are much more subtle and some of them can be used all over as finishing powders and some other can be worn instead of a blush .

Some beauty powders have light shimmer and a light tint so they can be used as a finishing product like guerlains meteorites, the ones with more shimmer are much more subtle than say a mineralized skinfinish or edsf for that matter. I prefer beauty powders as they haven't any big shimmer particles for day time and blend like a dream on my skin, for the more apparent or night out i go for a highlighter thats stronger more obvious.i hope it helps you:bouquet:

I thought the Chanel was a bronzing powder for some reason. I'm guessing it's along the lines of the EL Gelee, where it's a soft illuminating bronzey glow, but obviously not a bronzer. I called my local NM and the SA said they received their shipment but haven't put it out yet! Hello, put it OUT!!!

I passed on HG ambient bronzers for this!

I passed on those as well. I can't believe the over abundance of bad reviews on them, it's almost unanimous from bloggers/vloggers that they are a pass. For $50, HG needed to do way better than a an orange/shimmery mess.
