If you can't tell already - the lovely MakeMeUpMissa is pretty good at enabling me to buy all the makeup. So much so, I did a whole post all about just a handful of products she highly recommended and I later picked up as a result here! To be honest though, I sure ain't complaining about it as I don't think there's one product that I've bought because of her suggestion that I haven't fell in love with. So, after hearing her raving on about the Benefit Cookie Highlighter for many, many months - I finally decided it was time for me to give it a try myself. With a gift card and some Christmas money in hand, I figured there was no better time - so I took the plunge and placed an order! Now, having tried it out for a week or so, it's time to share my thoughts...
I LOVE IT! A pearly champagne hue with that ideal mix between gold and pink, it works perfectly for my paler skin-tone - something I was admittedly a little hesitant about to begin with. It just about deep enough to complement, without giving a cast - yay! Because it is a little deeper than some highlighters in my collection, it doesn't appear as stark and 'white' so feel this will make a welcome change for when I want something still very glowy and intense, but not drastically lighter and brighter, colour-wise. As I mentioned, the formula is just spot-on. It's so pigmented that you quite literally need the smallest tap on your brush to achieve such an intense, blinding finish on the skin. However, whilst it is super shiny - it so smooth and creamy in texture and formula that it doesn't appear at all chunky or glittery. It just gives such a smooth, glossy sheen. I definitely think I've found a new favourite, go-to, holy grail highlighter! Because it is a little more on the pricey side, it took me a while to hop on the 'Benefit Cookie' hype train but now that I have - I'm so glad I did! Thank you so much Missa (and pretty much everyone else who tried it out afterwards) for the recommendation!
