Formula Overview
$10.00/0.15 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "buildable" coverage and can be applied with fingertips (which will yield "higher coverage") or a brush (for sheerer coverage). It's a cream-based product that has a subtle, "wet" feel to it but never has the thickness of a true cream-based blush.
It goes on with the smoothness of a cream formulation but diffuses and blends (without lifting up one's base) more like a powder product. The product sets to a powder finish, so the product won't slide around during the day.
On me, the wear tends to be between eight and 10 hours. Most shades have medium, buildable pigmentation with some being semi-opaque to opaque on occasion. They are typically blendable, easy to use, and long-wearing.

Wow – this is an absolute beauty and for a mere $8. Looking at the price of the dupes, I’m just floored that something this pretty and this good is so affordable.
Absolutely BREATHTAKING highlighter!!! It gives many a high end dupe a run for their money, too!
Now that’s an excellent product from CP – beautiful shade.
It’s me I guess, but I can’t see it and I’m not a real shimmery highlighter person, so perhaps in person I’d like it.
