Hello everyone, today I thought I'd do a brief first impressions of the sleek solstice highlighting palette as I picked it up yesterday and have been dying to try it out and share my experience!
Packaging
The highlighters
Top left, Ecliptic // Top right, Hemisphere // Bottom left, Subsolar Bottom right, Equinox |
Within the palette there are four highlighters ranging from pink to copper. Ecliptic (top left) is a cream formula, whilst the other three highlighters are powder formulas. Whilst I found all four to be very well pigmented, I noticed that the cream formula gave off slightly less pigment but this would give a more natural look and could easily be built up. My personal favourite is hemisphere, and I like to use this on the top of my cheekbones and down my nose. Subsolar is also great for highlighting the cupid's bow! I've also found the highlighters to be very long lasting and give off a very natural glow!
Value for money
Overall I think this palette is great value for money, retailing at £9.99, meaning you're essentially only paying £2.50 for each highlight and you're also getting a brush and large mirror. I would definite recommend trying out this palette before investing in something more expensive as I honestly think this palette is on par if not better than some high end highlighters I've tried!
Conclusion
To conclude, I'm very happy with my purchase of this palette, and would definitely recommend it to others. Here's a quick pro/con list of the palette:
Pros:
+ Very well pigmented
+ Good variety of shades
+ Large mirror ideal for travelling
+ Good quality brush included
+ Long lasting
Cons:
- Outer packaging can easily look dirty from fingerprints
- Cream formula (Hemisphere) is slightly less pigmented than the other shades
