Formula Overview
$50.00/0.21 oz. - $238.10 Per Ounce
It was described as having a "multidimensional glow" that "blend[ed] seamlessly" and was long-wearing. The formula felt like it was a gel-powder formula, which was indicated by its slightly firmer, almost stiff, feel in the pan, but there was no powderiness, and the product picked up well with a moderately-dense brush. Once on, the powder almost "melted" on my skin, which gave it a particularly seamless look that was never dry or dusty.
The pigmentation ranged from shade to shade but were typically semi-opaque to opaque, buildable, and easy to work with by using a lighter or heavier hand to pick up product as desired. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly.
The powders were floral-scented.

Oh, Dior – just take my wallet! While this particular shade is too warm for me (or maybe not), I’m betting they’ve got a more pink shade or perhaps a deeper pinky coral that would work for me as a blush. I’m just getting ready to hand over my money!
Ooohh, that is a really pretty color and looks fantastic on you Christine! It reminds me of several old Makeup Geek highlighters I have, but a more finely milled, grownup version. I bet it would be lovely on the eyes!
I would say that this is a beautiful highlighter – love the soft finish and the gentle colour.
Just: WOW! 😍
If I didn’t have Nars Orgasm and MJ Jet Girl, I would have to get this!
