The reviews were so good that I bought it without hesitation, but... I'm not sure if it's really worth the hype. I generally prefer highlighters that are moderately noticeable, and I bought this one specifically to create a glowing effect on my cheeks and chin. It definitely delivers on that, and I would give it a 5-star rating despite being unsure about repurchasing. The only downside is that it's not very visible on my nose, so I have to use two highlighter products, which is a bit of a hassle. When I apply a powder highlighter and then lightly layer this product on top, it creates a natural, radiant glow. It's a bit of a hassle, but I find this combination works best for me. In photos, the difference between using and not using this highlighter on my cheekbones is very noticeable - it creates a beautiful, beaming highlight. My sister even commented on how glowy my cheeks looked. The product lasts a long time, which is great. The ingredients are also really good, which is hard to find in a highlighter. Considering it's about half the price of a famous highlighter, I think it's a great value, especially when I can find it on sale.
ConsThe bangs on my forehead extend all the way down to the base of my nose, which is where I usually apply highlighter. But with this product being so melty, it can make my bangs look a bit greasy and shiny. To avoid this, I only apply a moderate amount, which helps minimize the shiny, oily effect on my bangs. Using this highlighter on its own on my nose is a bit lacking - the glow isn't as noticeable as I'd like. It's absolutely crucial not to apply this product directly to your face, as it can cause your makeup to lift off. I've heard a lot of people complain about that. The best way is to warm it up on your fingers first, then gently press it onto your skin. This helps prevent the product from mixing with your other makeup and minimizes it sliding off. I sometimes use a tiny bit on my eyelids to create a subtle sheen, but I can feel a slight tackiness along my crease line. It's not a major issue, but it's something to be aware of.
