Ooooh thanks Jess! I forgot you could apply these over your foundation as well. I'm going to try that!

Hmmm. I think I have that Boscia one in my Sephora loves list. I'll have to try that as well.

I have the 4 pack that I picked up at IMATS and the jars are about 1/3 way filled. They looked more full when I first bought them - like more half filled. I'm guessing these settle overtime.

It does have sparkle but I find if you buff them in well, you get more of a sheen that straight up Glittuh!

Still plenty glittuh gyul! Steups!! I'm going to try with another brush. I use my Ecotools fan...

Seriously---am I losing my eye sight? It's very fine w/no discernible micro glitter. What am I missing

​I recently shared that I must
have left the house on more than one occasion looking like I made out with a glitter fairy---others seem to see glitter that I don't. I wore it today & took this pic for the
Christian Louboutin thread---I'm also wearing CL Zoulou lipstick.

You're so pretty it's actually quite disturbing

I find while it may not be "glitter" like sparkles...it's definitely not a finely milled application like a Becca product for example. Product literally falls off my brush onto my face and they are big particles. Even when I look at the brush after swiping I can see the particles. It could be the brush (fluffy fan). I'm also realizing that I don't like highlighters that have ridges, I can't grab product like I want, LM Indiscretion, LM Ballerina and now BG to name a few and they develop "dead pan" sooner.

Are you going to hold onto BG or return it do you think?

Does anyone here have both Tom Ford's moodlight and Starlight by ABH? I have the first one and I'm wondering how similar/different they are so I can justify buying the Anastasia one... Decisions, decisions.

Hello peeps well I just had an opportunity to play with all four of the ABH Illuminators and I'll give my personal opinion as someone with a NC50/NW43/Macao/Y505 complexion... So Hollywood was a typical white gold on that brought to mind Becca Moonstone. Pretty but wasn't my particular taste... Riviera, which I was most excited to play with didn't live up to my expectations... It was cold and icy on me, much like MAC MSF in Global Glow. It was similar in color too and a definite pass for me! Peach Nectar, while pretty, didn't pack enough punch for me and left me wanting more bronze or copper tones... Starlight was the only one worth my $28!!! I was suprised too because it's nearly white in the pan and when swatched too... But baby when she is blended out she gives me everything that my champagne dreams r made of!!! On me she is a neutral champagne not pink or peachy, not too warm or too cool. The formula is finely milled and doesn't kick up alotta product in the pan. It isn't as buttery as the Becca pressed line but it's right up there... I'm pleased with my purchase ABH Starlight t-b swatched, blended

You're a riot Monty!!! That's very sweet---thank you. Where have you been hiding??? I agree!! It took me a minute to see the chunky glitter---and you're right---it's
no where near as finely milled as Becca and many other highlighters.

ETA: Correct nasty little typos

You know when Bronze Glow first came out I remember that we all thought it was a bit chunkier than the Copper Diamond. I'm glad I have it though. However its about to take a backseat to my BU highlighters.

Thank you so much for the headsup about the theBalm sale on Hautelook! I've been waiting since earlier this year for the sale and I had a gift card as well so I hauled a lot of items including the last highlighter I need, Cindy Lou-manizer. In addition to the highlighter, I got 3 palettes (Nude'tude, Nude Dude, and the Balm Jovi Rockstar Face Palette) and 5 blushes (CabanaBoy and Instain Pinstripe, Lace, Toile, and Swiss Dot). There were a few more items I was interested but not 100% sure about so I may go to Kohls before the sale ends and swatch them. However, I got what I really wanted and spent enough so I may just wait until their next sale to buy those items if I like them.

Thank you, I will try this as well! I want to try all of the methods suggested here to optimize the primer's performance. I really want to like it, especially since I can get a bit oily sometimes.

I picked up the "second version" of Bronze Glow but not the first, so I can't compare them, but it's clear to me that Bronze Glow and Copper Diamond are very different
formulas. I'm just wondering if they merely repackaged their marketing strategy by calling it strobing with the second iterations of BG & PG when it really is all the same
thing.
