Clionadh Tropico Fruitlighter Review & Swatches
Tropico
Clionadh Tropico Fruitlighter ($18.00 for 0.10 oz.) has a medium, cotton candy pink base with lots and lots of shimmer that shifted from gold to peach to slightly greenish-gold paired with a high-shine, very metallic finish. For those wary of more intense highlighters or have issues with shimmer emphasizing skin texture, I suspect that will be an issue with this shade as it always emphasized my skin’s natural texture a bit, even when worn at a sheerer coverage level.
The texture of the powder itself was smooth, soft, and blendable, with nary a thing to complain about, but it just didn’t translate as forgivingly over my skin. As these can be used as eyeshadows as well, it would be just fine there as it was quite pigmented (a little went a long way!). It lasted well for nine hours before fading noticeably.

Ingredients
Very pretty and unique looking shade! However, I think I will just be happy with my two pink/gold duochrome highlighter/highlighting blush shades that I already own, namely; Marc Jacobs Jet Girl and Natasha Denona Duo Glow.
Wow! What a cool shift! Definitely not a subtle highlight by any means!! 🙂
This looks so pretty I would love to add it to my collection
Clionadh Tropico is a beautiful and unique highlighter. I think the mutichrome will look awesome on many skin colors. This collection will deliver a really nice summer-time look.
Wow! What a beauty!
I couldn’t use it as a highlighter, but it would be an awesome eyeshadow. If only I didn’t have so many pretty pink ones already.
