I am fully ashamed to say that I have never bought a glow kit before now. Obviously, I wanted one but trying to get hold of them in the UK is so blimmin' hard so when this majestic beautifulness got released - aka the Anastasia Beverly Hills x Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit - it was like a blessing from the highlighting gods themselves.
There are tiny bits of silver glitter in the packaging, which shows up so well when you have your flash on, but you can still see it without and it's just beautiful. Trying to photograph this palette and capture the colours properly was somewhat of a challenge because I wanted to do it justice yano. The swatches are just stunning though, I didn’t think they could look more majestic than they actually do in the pan but, I was proved wrong. Ps, sorry not sorry for all the pictures.
From top to bottom: 143, Glo Getter, Forever Lit, Daydream, Forever Young & Kitty Kat
When applied you get that beautiful wet glow, instead of a powdery glow, which you can also build and make it more intense and beautiful. When applying them they can have a lot of fall out in the pan but they still blend beautifully and are so buttery. Like with all other highlighters, they do show up your imperfections and pores more than usual so there's nothing new there. The shades are described as:
Kitty Kat - Pink with a platinum reflect
Forever Young - Pink pearl with a silver reflect
Daydream - Coral with a white gold reflect
Forever Lit - Platinum with a lavender reflect
Glo Getter - Champagne with a rose reflect
143 - Rose gold with a bronze reflect
I will note that 143, Forever Young and Glo Getter do look quite similar but there are subtle differences. 143 is more gold toned than Glo Getter and even in the pan it looks more of a true gold but it's actually softer. Forever Young is a beautiful cool champagne highlight. I think my fav colour has to be Kitty Kat which is just the most beautiful pink highlight with platinum champagne reflects.
The colours are just stunning. I was worried at first because the shades are really pink toned and I didn’t know if they would suit me but they’re so wearable. I've literally worn every shade and they all look beautiful. Sometimes I've been going for a combination of all the colours because this palette is life and I want to look like the most majestic glazed donut in all the land. I've also been using the shades on my eyes as well and they're so gorgeous.
This palette retails for £39 which is the same price as the other glow kits with four shades and even though the pan size in this is smaller you have six different shades which I'm loving. So do you need it? Ermmm of course you need it! It's b e a u t i f u l and it's currently still available on the Anastasia Beverly Hills UK website [here] with free shipping over £25, so? What are you waiting for!
Til next time xx
