PLEASE bring back the SHIMMER BRICK in ROSE. It was the perfect combination of blush and highlighter. It was sheer and buildable, so you could shape your shade in a subtle, very pretty, no-makeup makeup look. A lot of blushes are super pigmented and you just end up looking like a woman from an 80's music video. I tried this "pink glow" highlighter compact, but it was far lighter than it appears on website photos. Not much pink in it at all, more golden. It's fine if you just want a golden-beige highlighter that you can put on your eyes, or on top of blush. But there's nothing pink about it. And sadly, none of the shades in BB's blushes are quite the same, and the only shade of highlighter that might have more-or-less matched (sunset glow) is now either sold out or discontinued. What are we supposed to do, BB??!! Nobody wants to have to buy a blush and then a separate highlighter, when we can just have one product that does both. Not sure why the shimmer brick was discontinued, but if this was driven by profit motives (i.e. force people to buy both blush and highlighter), that makes it even more annoying. Why not just re-issue the shimmer brick in a wider variety of shades, and pump some marketing into it? There is no comparable good quality product out there - believe me, I have searched. PLEASE BRING THE SHIMMER BRICK BACK

Absolutely love this highlighter — had I not received the first one free, I likely never would have tried it due the price, but I'm so glad I did because it's my holy grail of highlighters. I've tried so many different ones over the years and this one is my favorite for everyday wear. It applies like silk and has such a beautiful, natural shine/glow. It's noticeable, but not overwhelming…no chunky glitters. It stays on all day for me, even in hot, humid FL weather. The price for a full size is pretty wild, but for me, it's worth it, especially if you buy the mini. The mini lasted me an entire year, and I regularly wore it about 4-5 times a week. So excited that Ulta carries the mini now — I feel like I remember looking for it a few months ago and couldn't find it! Highly recommend!

It's the perfect highlighter. It highlights as one should, it's not glittery & chunky like most. It's beautiful, I used everywhere.

this highlighter is genuinely not good at all. Ive used Fenty, ofra, NYX, Elf, rare beauty, IT cosmetics and so many more different brands of highlighter, and this is probably my least favorite that I've ever tried. it's SO dry- there's no moisture or softness to it at all. After rubbing into the pan, there's a crazy amount of glitter flying all over the place and onto the edges of the compact. I have to RUB to get it to even show on my fingertips. with a fan or highlight brush? forget it- literally no pay off. the formula itself is filled with glitter. most highlights have glitter, but very finely milled glitter. this one has big pieces of it that are super noticeable. Im assuming that the brand itself is why this product is so highly rated because it's truly not good at all.
