and WELCOME Carla. My name is Meddy and I'm addicted to highlighters. I prefer high-end but I've found some mid-range beauties that can't be over looked. Most people here are very serious about their highlighters so you'll want to wear your protective gear in this thread. My highlighter stash was pretty significant when I joined the thread and it has grown exponentially, and then some, so the pressure encouragement to buy is intense. My advise is buckle up, hold onto your hat and have fun!!!

Side eye *cough* to our beautiful Shars but she's one of our most aggressive enablers encouragers. She starts slow, builds momentum and before you know it,
you're the proud owner of a new highlighter that wasn't even on your radar screen!!! Oops---did I just blow your cover Shars???? My bad!

Who me? Can't you see my halo glowing along with my highlight?

Lol!! I know right!!! Bey wasn't sold out when I ordered mine; I'm kicking myself that I didn't order it. I remember reading on here that these reminded someone of colourpop highlighters & they do. They're just a powder version.

You wish mommy!!!!!

 

[thingsloversdo]

You don't use it! :shock:  *gasp* Blasphemy! lol I found one somewhere and have it lined up and should have soon but thank you!!! If my link doesn't work out, I'll definitely let you know. Some people have said they saw Modern Mercury and Topaz Chameleon at the CCOs (Estee Lauder/Cosmetic Company Store outlets) so if you have any of those near you, it might be worth a shot.

I'm NC20-25 so unfortunately it looks orange-copper on me so I'm doomed to forever sit and admire it longingly until I can find a better home for it. Also got the TC at a CCO but I'm now in Australia where there's no CCO in sight ): Good luck getting your Topaz Chameleon, I hope everything works out

[COLOR=0000FF]Carla, you have some nice highlighters in your stash.  Which is your favorite at this point?[/COLOR]

Hi Meddy! Thank you for the welcome and for the warning about the enablers I hope that I can rise to the occasion and do all highlighter addicts proud! At the moment I'm seriously loving Indiscretion! It's so beautiful and makes all blushes look next level ethereal. I feel like a goddess when I wear it. I also love the Topshop Glow pot for easy application, Rose Gold for its texture (although it's too pink for my NC 20 skin at the moment) and the Argan Illuminizer for underneath foundation. Nars Copacabana intensity is amazing too. The most interesting one is the Topshop highlight in Crescent Moon. It's yellow based but has soft pinky reflects. On the other hand, Horizon is simply lovely bronzey goodness. Yum!

Ah yes, it is super coppery-bronze so I can see why you would shy away from it. Are you originally from Australia or just moved there recently? Sydney is one of the places to visit that are on my bucket list.

Fan brushes never give me "dat glo tho" look! I always just use a regular angled blush brush and blend blend blend... Was today ur first time using it??? Sometimes u gotta dig just a tad bit to get the gd stuff lol... Happy Strobbing

 

[pinkcrush]

Today I tried it with this angled Palladio blush brush I have and it worked so much better thanks for the tip, the stiffer brush helped dig the product out and it looks stunning I think it's a little much for work but oh well it gives a blue iridescent glow to my cheeks lol.

Yayyy!!! Glad it worked out

thanks meddy

Thanks for posting!! Beyoncé is fierce!

It is isn't it! I add it to my list after seeing Glammy's swatch!

yayyyyy I hope u loveeee it too

I held off on Beyoncé bc I have to be careful with pinks w my skin tone (it can easily just look like redness on me) but I think I'll be able to pull it off, it's on my list w Marilyn

yayyyyyy

this is why I am beginning to hate instagram...  folks thinking they are doing something spectacular, that's been around forever.  So pretty!  you had me at peach undertone.  I have to get all things peach.  LMAO Polenta interesting...  do they expire in a year like their eyeshadows do?  gorgeous!

stunninggg I want both Thanks for posting

 

[allthingsglam]

Yes u need it

I might snag CP, it's still available.

Ay yi yi, this thread is super buggy with the ads! My computer was sputtering so badly that I was afraid I'd never get to respond.

I may be in low buy mode, but I'm not in punitive depravation mode. I happened to be leaving work and turned on my phone a few minutes after CP launched initially and snagged one. I'll have it Monday.

That said, I'm debating the new ColourPop (most of my highlighters are from ColourPop anyhow) and whether I should get Becca Moonstone or Opal next. Yes, you enablers, I will eventually buy both. But both isn't the fiscal answer I'm choosing at this moment.

I read somewhere that the Colorpop is only available for a few days and it is super cheap. Moonstone and Opal aren't going anywhere so take some time and play with the Champagne Pop and see if you want to go darker or lighter from there.
