Too Faced 'Love Lights' Prismatic Highlighters - Review and Swatches

Too Faced 'Love Lights' Prismatic Highlighters

Since I did my blog post on Too Faced Melted Matte Lipsticks I have been dying to try their highlighters, seeing how beautiful the packaging and the actual highlighter is has made me lust after them for quite some time. Deciding to bite the bullet and buy all three shades of the 'Love Lights' Prismatic Highlighters while there was 10% off at Debenhams as this will be the cheapest they'll ever be at $22.50 each and no delivery charge as I spent over $40.

The packaging is the cutest highlighter packaging I have got before, the heart shape with metallic sheen to it, the weight of the packaging/product and the mirror inside (perfect for getting small details like applying mascara). This is just the outside of the package as well, the inside is even more beautiful than the outside as well! I like the raised Too Faced curved writing on top and the large print on the back saying shades as when all of them are out it is difficult to get them in the right boxes again unless you check the sides and match the metallic colours up.

It almost seems a shame to touch the perfect heart of highlighter inside the packaging, all of them with the raised 'TF', there is a lot of product inside the pan as well, looking around the edges I was expecting to see the pan close but you can't see it at all. I don't think I have seen such a photogenic highlighter either (I took about 50 before I decided to cut it down for the sake of my phone storage).

The formula is very rich and creamy, it feels almost velvety to touch and very very pigmented. I did one swipe around the edges of the heart to start the swatch then went back in just to help it pick up on camera but even then it wasn't fully showing up so I had to do a close up of it to really show it off. From left to right the shades go; Blinded By The Light, You Light Up My Life then Ray Of Light last. Blinded By The Light is an almost white gold shimmer shade, You Light Up My Life is a gold shade then Ray Of Light (my favourite) is a very pigmented almost rose gold shade.

The swatches aren't that wowing apart from Blinded By The Light what really pops compared to the others but all have a really nice shimmer to them which you can definitely build upon. I'm not sure if they are really worth $22.50 each as there isn't anything special about the shades, I think you mostly pay for packaging but if you like to add to your collection like I do then they are really pretty.
