Makeup Factory Soft Lightning Powder

It is time to review another highlighter, so let’s go!



So I saw this powder quite a few times and it immediately caught my attention, but I never saw any swatches. The packaging looked similar to MAC products and based on descriptions and marketing, I expected something like those famous powders made by Hourglass. I was super excited when I bought it and could wait to try it because I am always open to a good everyday highlighter.

Unfortunately, this is not what I expected it to be – it is yet another strong gold drugstore highlighting powder. I must admit, it is more sophisticated than most of them and looks expensive, but nothing special.

It is advertised as ˝light˝ - whatever that means to them, it is very pigmented and you need to try not to look like a disco princess. On the box label it is even written that you can use it all over your face and it is supposed to be camouflaging minor imperfections, I mean, please. How? By blinding?

Ok, this was mean, but I am disappointed with the product. It is a good powder, but it is not what it is advertised to be.

 

If you’re on a hunt for a golden highlighter – go for it, but if you want something silent and discreet, you should continue with your search.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
