Ughhhhhhhhhhhh.... I already have one backup of the Illuminator, and I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need a second one. Which is ridiculous. It will take me forever to get through what I have, and I'm sure by the time that actually happens there will be something new out that I'll want.
Hold me, I need help. $36 at Nordies. I swatched and wasn't really impressed but it's like because it's on sale I have to get it. Issues I said.
I love this powder too, get it!
I picked up the illuminator last week and just took it back today. On my NC20 skin it just didn't show up much, other than some glitter/shimmer. The color was too close to my skin color.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.

Girl, I'm here for you. Not judging you at all. I constantly have to ask myself when I'm shopping "Do I really like it? Or do I like the deal I'm getting on it?" I'm trying to get better about only buying things I'm really into.
That being said, I think the Illuminator will grow on you. Well... it'll glow on you, at least.
ICL you posted this some time ago and I missed it--I'm so sorry!!!
I should have it by the end of the week or so since it's Nordstrom snail mail. [@]Medgal07[/@], I ordered the foundation but plan on trying the shade in Macy's today. I know, the reverse. I just figured with my luck the sale would have ended at midnight even though it's supposed to be the 28th and I would have kicked myself :haha: I watched maybe a million YT vids on it and the shades in reference to the reviewer and my collection. What did you say your shade was again? I ordered 5C1, Rich Chestnut. The site you gave us referred 5W2...I think it may be too red. We'll see. I'm thinking of getting the Light one as well and the primer.
Went to get matched at EL and I picked the right color! Thank goodness! Hehehe, but now I want the Illuminating Perfecting Primer...Oh and the sa said not to get the illuminating powder gelee. He said it would make me look ashy. I swatched again and it really looked pretty horrible, lol. And I saw someone use a brush like this in their video and now I want one, lol@Medgal07, I ordered the foundation but plan on trying the shade in Macy's today. I know, the reverse.
