For lighter skin BLKR and Hot sand







BLKR is my all time favorite from their illuminators it is fabulous to be even mixed with the foundation . I even got back up and I almost never do that.



From the other ones that are permanent Copacabana is their most universal to be used as a highglihter. Super orgasm looks amazing as a blush on the lighter skin. I prefer it over orgasm that on me blends like it has no color at all.








Thank you, that was very helpful!

This is MAC vs BECCA. I believe that Becca is on the bottom and MAC on the top
top (l-r) Superb, WOG, Glorify
bottom(l-r)Rose Gold, Opal, Topaz

I was going through a phase at the time when I thought I had too many highlighters. I must have been crazy!
I would love to see the JM Enlightenment Illuminizer thrown into a pic with WOG on a woc. It's a liquid, but just the intensity alone, I'm curious...

I also find that Orgasm doesn't really have much color when blended out.

No, that one has been on my list for a while. I should have got it when beauty.com had 20% off last week but I had to spread the coins out. Dermstore has it, but it's on b/o. 20% off.

Did you get it? Because it's sold out. Do they all have SPF or is it just the ones DS has?
Nope I didn't get it because DermStore was playing me as always with that sold out bs. It was divine intervention I guess. And it's widely available, not at just DermStore. DermStore always has sales though so hopefully another 20% or flash 30% sale will pop up when it is in stock.

ETA: @montREALady I totally misread your question and I didn't realize you wrote SPF and not SSP. No, they don't all have SPF and the SPF version is a slightly older version that is no longer available. I suspect that they aren't restocking the older SPF version but instead will have the newer version without sunscreen when they ship. Honestly, if it's on sale I'm not too bothered :-D

I thought so. Okay! Btw, can you start typing in white font so I can't see your recommendations and be tempted to purchase stuff? Thaaaaanks.

Thanks Meddy!!

Ok---for you my Dear Monte. MAC WOG & Josie Marin Argan Enlightenment Illuminizing Veil ar close in color but not even particularly close in formula and finish.
You'll notice from the swatch how smooth and satiny WOG is, but the JM is powdery, however, when I blended the JM into my skin it was smooth and satiny, as well.
The JM is would be great for anyone who doesn't want that in-your-face-high-shine & glow. Believe it or not, there are times when I want a degree of subtlety.

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Poured in Topaz has me like :nanas:
I LOVE the Poured Topaz. It's what I brought with me to LA this past weekend. When I met Rupaul, he said "your skin is gorgeous!"
  If anything is compared to MAC whisper of gilt I immediately ignore it. I have WOG and I feel like the size of the compact is enough to keep me glowing for YEARS! I love WOG but I don't want to need backups or dupes. Gimmie a new highlighter! You know what I missed and want? MAC EDSF in Double Dimension. Why did I skip that thing!!!!! That said I still want to at least swatch the Laura Gellar Gilded Honey.
. The word on the curb is that WOG and Opal near dupes for each other, but is this really true?
I'll check my stash over the weekend. There's a slight possibility I have an extra Double Dimension. I remember buying a backup, just can't recall if I kept it
  Before you back out make sure you pick up that BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Poured :sneaky:
no no no no...  *puts fingers over my eyes* 
Do it! :poke:
I'm excited for you as well Meddy!
[COLOR=0000FF]   I LOVE the Josie Marin Argan Enlightenment Illuminizing Veil, and the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar,[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   and the Chanel Soleil Tan de’ Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid, Sunkissed. [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF] I think I'm done with buying[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   highlighters for a minute.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]  [/COLOR]:sigh:  
I guess we'll see, won't we? LOL.

Here's mention of a new Shimmerbrick, Sunset Pink.

I know I shouldn't but how can I not? Plus it's been YEARS since she last released a new Shimmerbrick. I should do a SB 30 day challenge. I don't have a month's worth, but I'm pretty close. Maybe Plum will come out this winter...
