Not good?
Hmmmm, it's just not what I was looking for. It feels nice, but it doesn't have that POP like the Becca, LM or Bobbi Brown highlighters. It's very subtle like some of the ambient lighting powders. I have those, so this was a no go for me :( The estee lauder rep. Was like, "yeah, they're kinda disappointing if your looking for that wow factor. These won't give that to you, doll. Sorry."

Oh okay, I think I'll skip those then because I like a less subtle highlight most of the time.

I agree!! As per EL description it is an all over powder/ bronzer than an illuminating powder!! It is very subtle but does look really soft and glowy when it catches light!! Def not a Va Voom highlighter!!

I have the new EL BG Illuminating blah blah blah stuff (seriously, I get tired of typing out long product names). I tend to wear it all over, or at least on the top half of my face. It just gives my skin a slightly airbrushed look. The color is just right for me, though. I might actually BU.

Perhaps if I went in there looking for that type of powder, I would haven fallen head over heels! Not to mention, the department store lighting did not do justice to the product. I didn't see what it was capable of until I was outside! I might need to go back!!! :)
