Glow Gold

Natasha Denona Gold Glow Highlight Duo ($42.00 for 0.5 oz.) is for someone who loves warm, gold highlighter and never feels like their highlighter has enough glitter in it. The Diamond Powder is a more sparkly formula, and that particular shade is described "sparkling," though I'd say it's teetering on the side of full-on glitter, while the Super Glow formula is more finely-milled with a shiny sheen but less overt sparkle... but it, too, had a good amount of sparkle and micro-glitter.

If you're not into glitter, give this a total miss, and for those who do like glitter, the texture of both shades was difficult to work with as they were so dense that they were stiff and did not pick up well with a brush (even denser brushes). I really had to jab my brush and push it against the powder's surface and then felt like it required enough buffing that lifting your base products would be a real concern.

I was able to get both shades to work on my skin, and they showed up, but they left me disappointed; especially as I'm a fan of both formulas from past releases, and the Super Glow formula is superb... but not this time around. In particular, the right side, which was the Super Glow formula, was most disappointing.
