Review Smashbox fusion soft lights in baked starburst

Smashbox site: "Get a gorgeous lit-from-within glow with this radiant silk-like powder. The innovative baked formula imparts a soft veil of shimmer and keeps your skin looking luminous. Winner of Self Magazine's Healthy Beauty Award for Best Bronzer."










I like this product cause it's a bronzer and an highlighter all in one.
It's gives a natural sunkissed glow to fair skin like mine without looking too orange or muddy.
The powder is finely milled and a little bit goes a long way. It containes 8,5gr so it's gonna last you forever. 
It has a subtle scent that i cannot describe.

Review Mac mineralize skinfinish in soft and gentle

Mac site: "A luxurios velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish."

This is the only mineralize skinfinish that I own.
I was really exited when I ordered it, but when I tried it I thought I love my prestige highliter more.

This is a beige/peach gold powder with really fine -glitters-.
I'm not a super fan of the consistency, I found it a little bit gritty. I think is because of the fine glitters.
I don't love the glitters and I don't like to have them on my face...

Like I said in the Prestige skin loving minerals review, often they are compared. You can find my toughts about this in my other post.



Overall I think this is a beautiful highliter that give a nice glow, but not the best.

Review Prestige skin loving minerals mineral bronzing powder


This is one of my HG product.
Actually I don't use it as a bronzer but as an highliter.
The texture is incredibly soft, creamy and pigmented and I prefer to apply it with my finger than a brush.
I can't see anybody use it as a bronzer 'cause is extremely shimmery and light.
It doesn't contain glitter, it's only a champagne color powder perfect for the ligher complexion.

I've seen this compare a lot to Mac mineralize skinfinish in soft and gentle.
I own both of them and I don't think they're dupes.
Soft and gentle is more pinkish with glitter, the prestige one is more on the yellowy side.

I think this is an incredibly beautiful hightler, the one that i reach the most, but you have to use with moderation otherwise you can become a discoball because of its reflecting power.

The packaging isn't the most beautiful but I can deal with it.
This product is sell in two other shades, both too dark and orangy for my skin even as a bronzer.



I absolutely recommend this product.
