Hm... I kind of assumed it was a powder. Have you tried the EL Mercury? What did you think? I find it a little intimidatingly shimmery swatching it on my hand, but I'm sort of curious nonetheless...

^ katred, it's not as shimmery as one would imagine.. given the impression in the pan.

it is actually lightweight and easy to apply and is multi use, eyes, face .. lips.. decolletage.. knees.. lol.

I made some calls, and I do believe, or it is believed that the highliter is a gel/cream/powder formulation too.. which is wonderful.

I am tired of powder formulae.

I'll be hunting this highlighter down as well. I'm glad it's not another couple of months before it becomes available -- it gives me some room to breathe after all the serious makeup shopping I've been doing. I've just purchased Perles de Nuit meteorites as a a little luxury treat, and wouldn't be able to afford both. I do already have minis of Mythic, Pink Fresh and Beige Chic, and I really like the soft glow they give to my skin.

I couldn't resist buying Gardner from the holiday display... I'm still not 100% sure where it's available but, if you can get your hands on it, it is a wonderful colour. It's much warmer than I usually wear, but for whatever reason, I think it still works. Rouge G's are a dangerous addiction...

It does work really well on you, Katred! And I agree on the dangerous addiction, but the texture of it loooks perfect on your lips! :)

Rouge Gs always feel so wonderful on the lips. I get excited whenever a new one comes out. I think Gigolo from the Fall collection is my all-time favourite, but this one is also pretty amazing. I think it would work on cool and warm complexions, too, even though it's a warmer colour.

It feels luxurious. I swear that formula is actually getting better every time I buy one. Could be in my head, but the last couple I've bought have been especially luscious.

Oh my.....I keep running away from these due to the price (yes, I've paid that for lippies on ebay that are HTF) - methinks it's a slippery slope.....but dang, that looks amazing on you Kate! Sigh.....I may have to hit the counter up this weekend. I was on an eye shadow kick for a good while, now I'm obsessing over highlighters and lipsticks again.......someone help me.

I'm on a highlighter and lipstick bender myself. I think it's the one area in which I get really festive- I love wearing "glowing" powders and red or berry lips.
