I've fancied trying out at least something from XX Revolution for so long - basically every since the brand first launched earlier this year! And when I received a 1/3 off voucher for the brand in a free gift from Boots recently, I knew it was finally time for me to pick something up. Apparently, the XXPosure Powder Highlighters are the best bet, so I decided to give one of them a go - eventually choosing the shade 'Reactive'. These past few weeks, I've been giving it a try and now I feel it's time to share my thoughts...
First off, I guess we have to talk about the packaging. It's really gorgeous and high-end feeling looking and inside the compact you get a handy little mirror and the product on the other side. It's slightly domed in shape and with a pretty embossed pattern - it almost looks too good to use! Generally, it's pretty difficult for any brand to go wrong with a good ol' powder highlighter and I have to say, XX Revolution are no exception - they have really aced this formula! It's slightly glittery, but not overwhelmingly so. Generally, I find tapping off the excess as I usually would removes a lot of the loose glitter, so when you go in to apply, it's just a smooth, sheen-ey metallic finish. You only need the smallest amount on the brush too, it's such a pigmented formula! Colour-wise, I'd say this is a pretty perfect tone for my paler complexion too. A pale, icy pink that's not too cool-toned and frosty - this gives an intense, slightly rosey finish and doesn't leave any kind of cast on my skin either. I personally really like pink-toned highlighters, especially when they're like this one and aren't in turn really silvery, so I really love this so far! I think it's become my new favourite glow of the season...
