Catrice Icy Glaze 3D Glow Highlighter Review & Swatches
Icy Glaze
Catrice Icy Glaze 3D Glow Highlighter ($6.99 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright platinum–a cross between silver and pale gold, though leaning ever-so-slightly more silver to my eye. It had nearly opaque pigmentation paired with a smooth, creamy texture that felt rich and luxurious to the touch. The highlighter was easy to diffuse and spread for sheerer coverage or brought to full coverage with less than a half of a layer more on top of the first layer. It had an intense, metallic finish that didn’t accentuate my skin’s natural texture. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours on me before it started to show signs of fading.

Formula Overview
$6.99/0.1 oz. - $69.90 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "strong pigmentation" with a "creamy-soft powder texture" and designed without "any white pigments" to work on "especially" on "medium to dark skin tones." The most remarkable aspect about the formula was that "creamy-soft" texture--it was incredibly finely-milled, cream-like, and looked like the baked-gelee kind of formula but was much softer, more loosely-pressed without being powdery or dry. All three shades had good pigmentation, a superb texture, and applied beautifully to my skin. They yielded a more metallic, high-shine finish that didn't emphasize my skin's natural texture. They lasted around eight to nine hours on me before fading noticeably.

I think the really hot current Catrice product is the dewy glow fixing spray. Hope you’ll review that as well.
Not really the type of product I review, sorry!
This looks AMAZING! But, I will happily just stick with my Ofra Glazed Donut. Because it’s sheer enough for me to get away with wearing.
Such an awesome color! When I saw the name I thought it was going to be another icy blue. I’ll have to check this out; I don’t think I have anything like this.
This is STUNNING! I immediately thought of the Wet N Wild Bar in Platinum and swore you reviewed it but couldn’t find it to do a side by side comparison?
Do you mean Winter Bloom? https://www.temptalia.com/product/wet-n-wild-megaglo-highlighting-gold-bar/winter-bloom/
I just picked up the pinch of rose shade and I almost got this one too. Wish I grabbed it while I was there.
Whoa! Nice for the price. I’ve been using Becca’s Pearl highlighter for sometime. I’ll check out Catrice.
