But wait .... the gorgeous Chanel highlighter that makes my heart flutter? I am trying to resist the temptation to purchase it but don't you need two? One to use and one to just stare at !?! See ..... this would be my problem.

Ahhh, no! I meant, buying a shimmer brick and Platine in the same day. Not two of chanel. hehe.

I caved on the chanel palatine and the guerlain holiday meteorites this week. The chanel is unique to my collection. Now I need to go on a no buy!

   :haha: :frenz: [COLOR=0000FF]Thanks Mango. [/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]By far--and this is only my opinion which holds no weight outside of my household BUT  EL's gelee formula surpasses all others---and as you can see, I have a few.  It is better than [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]All of the other highlighters in my collection.  I'm partial to Modern Mercury.  As far as I know they have never repromoted them but several months ago they released another one, Crystal Baby, [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]which is nice but it should have been stark pink instead of pale white-pink.  It didn't impress me as much as Modern Mercury & Heat Wave.  You might be able to find them at a CCO.[/COLOR]

Modern Mercury is highly sought after. I don't know why they haven't rereleased it. I missed out on that one.

If it ever is repromoted, that one is coming home with me.

MAC Blush in Trace Gold...... If you have any color to your skin you need this one in your life!!! It works with tan skins all the way up to deep dark complexions! 

Bought this one earlier this year. It was my go-to for a while.

Looked up swatches of trace gold and the color looks right up my street!! Bought mac 'honour' about 2 years ago and was very disappointed by it. It's very glittery and chunky, don't think id ever recommend that if anyone loves it and has got it to work let me know

Found this one in Genoa (before I discovered Trace Gold), and initially I thought it would be perfect, but I agree that it's very chunky and glittery. I don't like chunky glitter anywhere on my face for everyday makeup.

I think this is it.  Boy I'm tired now.

I saw Becca has a new color highlighter, champagne gold, does anyone have that? Looks very yellow toned, but I love rose gold so much I might be tempted.

I just got Champagne Gold and it is very pretty, but like Medgal said, a little goes a long way. I need to try different brushes to see which one will work best with this.

I've been eyeing this one for awhile now.

me too!

 

[ccooper33]

I ended up with Cooper Diamond!! I love it! It's nothing like Mac Soft and Gentle...It's way warmer but not as deep as the BB Bronze highlighter thing. Very beautiful!

 

[LavenderPearl]

Ha! I definitely need to join this thread, if only for ideas... Here's my little stash: Dior Amber Diamond Dior Pop Diamond Dior Rose Diamond MAC Magnetic Appeal MAC Bronze Hero MAC Pink Rebel

* * * * *​

Most Loved: Probably the Diors. I'm a bit obsessed with them, especially since they've been discontinued >__> Currently Using: Magnetic Appeal. It's absolutely stunning and really easy to apply! Could Live Without: Probably the Lustre Drops... They're gorgeous, (especially Bronze Hero) but I just don't use them. /:

* * * * *​

I may have found the final piece to my Dior Shimmer Powder "collection" and I'm so excited! :clap: But that's not stopping me from lusting after these babies lol: - Bobbi Brown Bronze Glow, Copper Diamond, Sandstone - BECCA Opal, Rose Gold, Topaz I'm pretty unfamiliar with both brands, so I really want/need to swatch them in person. I have swatched BECCA Opal in store, but I almost feel like it's too soft and there will be shimmer all over my face

[COLOR=0000FF]  I have it Ernie--according to some Becca enthusiasts, it is not new but a much sought after re-promote.  I don't find it as impressive as Opal & Rose Gold, perhaps[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]  because I compare it to other gold[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]highlighters that I have and like better.  It does look VERY yellow in the compact IRL but it does buff down to a soft gold.  A little goes a[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]  long way.[/COLOR]

Well I bought Opal today, very pretty, that only makes the god knows how many highlighters to add to the collection.

 

[Medgal07]

This is a thread after my own heart! I'm not home now, but I only have a small, but growing collection. I envy all of you ladies with such extensive collection. I hope to be on that level one day!

Try to resist---this is a danger zone!

 

[Medgal07]

I just got Champagne Gold and it is very pretty, but like Medgal said, a little goes a long way. I need to try different brushes to see which one will work best with this.

I change brushes depending on which highlighter I'm using, but these are the ones I reach for; Laura Mercier or MAC fan brushes, MAC 159, 130 or 188.

Hi LP. You're off to a good start! Like you, I don't reach for the liquid or cream highlighters often because they take more care & time to apply. Becca Opal is one of the highlighters that I reach for quite often. Fall out is minimal if applied with care and it doesn't migrate once it's on your face. No "shimmer face" whatsoever.

Great pick Ernie! Enjoy!!!

So guess who got her first chanel highlighter? Me! My chanel counter had the jardin de camelias illuminating powder on display. I got the second to last one, and the sales associate even threw in a little brush. So sweet. I think this will be the perfect subtle highlight for me

 

[katred]

I've been avoiding this thread out of fear for my wallet but finally decided I could resist no more. I'm dying of envy looking through everyone's lists. I'll put my own together at some point in the near future... At the same time I'm already itching to get some of the beauties I see mentioned here...

Thanks! Just the sample in store. It's very subtle, and I like the pattern of it. Was so surprised they still had some in stock.
