Dose of Colors x iluvsarahii Bathe Highlighter Review & Swatches
Bathe
Dose of Colors Bathe Highlighter ($28.00 for 0.41 oz.) is a medium, rosy copper with warm undertones and a high-shine, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, creamy texture that was dense but not difficult to pick up product with using a brush. The powder applied evenly to my cheek bones and diffused easily without losing intensity. The finish was very shiny and reflective but did not seem to accentuate my skin’s natural texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview
$28.00/0.41 oz. - $68.29 Per Ounce
Per the brand, the powder highlighter is supposed to be "packed with color" and "give the skin a radiant illuminated glow." Both shades were intensely pigmented with shiny, metallic finishes achieved in a single layer. The powders were dense, creamy, and smooth, which made them blendable and easy to apply. On my skin, they didn't emphasize my skin's natural texture as the shine was very smooth and reflective, but they were definitely an intense highlighting formula. Both shades wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

My, that’s pretty. And a real close dupe for arguably the star HL of the past five years, Modern Mercury. On my monitor, it’s a tad rosier. This is a terrific pick for anyone with a rosy copper hole in their HL stash. S.t. for your Ulta points, people.
Definitely rosier than most of these types of rose golds!
Oooh, thanks for the review! I’ve been looking for a rosy copper like this one for a while! I also have EL Modern Mercury but this one looks rosier and shinier, hoping to swatch in store
Definitely rosier!
Beautiful rosy coppery shade! I do have Might Be, but today when I went to use it, it plopped out of the pan onto the rug! Cat hair be d*mned, I used it anyway. Probably very stupid move on my part. Sooo, now that I have seen Bathe, hmmm.
This would make a gorgeous eyeshadow too! And so much product! I’m such a cheapskate though and would prefer less product for less monies ?
Very beautiful colour and it looks so good on you Christine! I already have the EL Modern Mercury but to see an A+, that’s something. Plus it’s made in USA, no talc, vegan and cruelty-free at an excellent price. I’m impressed!
That is a gorgeous shade and I can see why it rated an A+.
I love every single thing about your look in these pictures! Dose of Colors is not a brand I’ve really considered before. And I only know Sarahii’s name from other collabs (Colourpop? Actually I think I may have bought something from that collection?) But now, I have a whole list of new wants!
They’ve been around awhile, but they’re definitely more in the niche/indie category, though they’ve been picked up by Ulta so they’re getting more accessible.
I’m glad I waited for your review because it’s definitely too dark for me. It’s beautiful though!
It is a beauty! ?
