š· True wet highlight effect

This is currently my favorite highlighter for when I use cream/liquid makeup because it gives me EXACTLY what I've been looking for- a TRUE "wet-skin" effect highlight that replicates the glow you get after doing your skincare, but on top of makeup! The stick itself is a transparent blue with sparkles throughout it, but it goes on clear and doesn't leave any visible sparkle on the skin. Unlike other similar "dewy highlights", this one doesn't leave a tacky finish on your skin, so it's very comfortable to wear. I rub my fingers onto the product and then tap it onto the top of my cheekbones and other spots where I want the light to catch! It looks so beautiful and natural and really gives me that "I look pretty!" boost that all makeup should without any hassle.
š VERY scented with lavender oil
š Not very longlasting

The biggest flaw by far with this product is that it contains lavender oil which gives it a very strong scent. Seriously, if you don't like the smell of lavender, AVOID this! As much as I do love the scent, I don't like it in my cosmetics and the scent does linger a bit. Lavender oil has severely irritated my skin in the past, and I do find that this can irritate my skin a little if I use it when my skin is already compromised. It's a huge shame and I really wish they just left that out of the formula.
Also, compared to a traditional highlight, this one isn't as long-lasting. This may be because I have dry skin, but over time the glow seems to sink in and fade like skincare would, so if you wanted it to last all day you'd probably wanna reapply. If you have oily skin this problem may not apply to you!
