glow kit review

After weeks of eyeing the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit, I am finally the proud owner of the Gleam Glow Kit, and all I can say is WOW.

Based on the colors offered in the two glow kits, Gleam is best for fairer complexions. That Glow would be better for you if you have a more olive or darker complexion as the colors are darker and richer to bring out your natural skin tones.

Prior to purchasing this glow kit, I’ve used highlighter kits from Urban Decay and Smashbox, as well as one from Target. I thought that the Urban Decay Naked Contour Palette was great, but the Glow Kit blows it out of the water! It may be a little more expensive than other options, but you are definitely paying for quality.

Crushed Pearl is my highlighter that I use on my cheekbones and brow bones. Hard Candy and Starburst can be used as a blending of the highlighter and my bronzer on the apples of my cheeks instead of blush! Mimosa could be used for the same thing, or for a sort of bronzer, but I prefer my blush to be pink rather than bronze. I think it really depends on your skin tone!

I love that the powder is super lightweight. Don’t worry about breaking out because just a little is necessary for a big effect. This also means the kit will last a loooong time, which is wonderful because it seems like makeup disappears overnight sometimes. Think of the purchase as an investment because if you bought another palette, you’d be buying a new one quicker than you would be with the glow kit.

I also am amazed at how long it lasts on your face once applied. I put some on before going to class yesterday and didn’t have to touch up my face prior to going out with friends last night because it was STILL THERE. Granted, I had on face primer, but this never happened with older palettes I used, even with primer, so how awesome is that?! Always down for a product that shaves time off my getting ready process.

Anastasia always delivers, and this is nothing short of amazing. 10/10, worth every penny. Do yourself a favor and get them while you still can. I’ve linked to both glow kits above and both are eligible for Prime shipping, so you could be receiving your little piece of heaven tomorrow!
