Oh hey! So today I'm going to be doing kind of a "first impression" blog post for the Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls highlighter. I picked this up from the grocery store the other day but I've been eyeing it FOREVER. I was just really in the mood for a change in my normal face routine and I suppose a different highlight was just what I needed.
This is not a new product to the shelves, it's been out for quite a while. From what I've seen, the highlighters come in three different shades, Light Bronze Pearl (light skin tones), Beige Pearl, Translucent, and Bronze Pearl (medium skin tones). I picked up the Medium Skin Tones (even though I'm extremely pale at the moment) because I thought the mixture of colors was the most appealing and something a little different to add to my collection.
The packaging was one of the elements that first attracted me to the product. The top has a really cute little pearl in the middle and the product itself looks like a swirl of big and small pearls. The compact flips the product up to reveal a mirror and small brush space underneath. Usually I really like it when a powder comes with these features because it makes it so easy to touch up on the go. I honestly don't really like the extra features for the highlighter because I'm never really going to have to touch up my highlighter, and the packaging is a little too bulky to carry around in a clutch anyways. I think it's good to have a little brush though for people who may want to have a separate brush just for this highlighter.
The Bronze Pearl has swirls of a luminescent yellow gold and a darker brown. When I first used it I thought it was a little flakey and may have had too much shimmer and glitter specks in it. I found that if I use a different brush and a lighter hand in applying, it goes on very smoothly and it adds a highlight as well as a beautiful glow to my face. I can go more into detail and swatch this product if it's requested.
If you ever have a request for a post or want me to hunt a product down, just let me know!
