Both compacts are identical in size and have a matte finish with 'scrawled on' stars.

As you can see from the swatches, Sunbeam is a shimmery true gold highlighter and Crescent moon is a shimmery pink champagne highlighter. 

Pigmentation for both are excellent (This is definitely not a subtle highlight, use lightly unless you're going for that "Disco ball sparkle =P"). 

The texture is slightly chalky but still blendable and the lasting power for these are pretty good as well especially if you set it with a makeup setting spray.

Sunbeam is very yellow so i don't think it will be suitable for all skintones but it works well for my yellow based warm skin. Crescent moon is definitely a more universal colour and will suit a broad range of skin tones. It provides the skin with a healthy glow without leaving a white cast.

I like to use this on the tops of my cheekbones, above my cupids bow and along the bridge of my nose to emphasize my features



The Topshop highlighters are definitely a must have in my opinion but remember, a little goes a very long way =)


I hope this was helpful ;)

Review: Elizabeth Arden Rose Illumination Highlighter



 I had been eyeing this particular product for quite awhile but it wasn't available in Malaysia so I quickly snagged one on my trip to Scotland...it was the last one!!!!. The packaging is a rose gold plastic, study and light with a mirror in the compact. The product itself is beautiful, very pigmented, smooth and a dream to apply on the face. It is a warm rosey pink with bronzey-gold shimmer which leaves a very healthy glow on the face. For light skin tones, this can be layered on blush for a lovely youthful look, for deeper skin-tones, this will look lovely as a highlighter. I've also used this as eye-shadow before and it is absolutely stunning. You can also pop on a dab of this in the center of your lip to make them look fuller and more three dimensional.



Isn't the packaging just sweet, the roses on it are so pretty ;)
