Thoughts: I'm always looking for good highlighters and contour products. You can never have enough. For this reason, I was excited to try these as well as being introduced to this product.

Here's a closer look inside. It does not come with a mirror.

Here's a closer look at the six highlighters and contour. From top to bottom, left to right; Heartfelt, Impulse, Passion, Devoted, Baked, and Shade Contour.

Here's a closer look at one of the highlighters Baked.

Here's a swatch of the highlighters and contour from left to right; Heartfelt, Impulse, Passion, Devoted, Baked, and Shade Contour.

Here's how the highlighters and contour looks on me. I have Devoted on the high points of my cheek and right above it I applied Impulse. I also applied Impulse on the tip of my nose. I used Shade Contour to define my cheeks, jaws, and to hide my double chin.

Here's an overall look. You can see Impulse on the tip of the nose. I have Profusion Eyes & Lips Kit Mixed Metals 2 in Peach MM2 on the eyes and lips.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's a slight vanilla scent. Secondly, the packaging is alright. I like that it's made out of carbon paper. The inside is made out of thick plastic. The thing I don't like is the top with the see through plastic. It's very flimsy. With that said, I like that the company doesn't worry so much of the packaging but more so about the products. I will get into that later. Also, the top has a magnetic feel to it. There's a tight steal, as well as, a clicking noise when I open and close the top. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. Since the palette is thin, it's easy to throw in your purse and bag. I also see scratches and marks on the packaging. It's not that noticeable. I just examine it closely for review purposes. Third, the consistency is buttery soft. It feels great in-between the fingers. With that said, it's compacted and there are slight loose powders inside the palette. It's very minimal. It's extremely easy to use. I pick up the highlighters and contour with a brush. The brush grabs the product easily and applies nicely on the skin. I also like that you can distinguish the colors on the skin. Some highlighters look the same on the skin. You can tell them apart with this palette. Not only that, the colors work well together. Fourth, it's great all year round. If you're not into highlighting and contouring, this isn't for you. If you are, this is a good one. It'll look great on all skin colors from light to dark. Contour shade might be a touchy subject. It'll be good from light to medium skin tone. It's a little too light for darker skin individuals. Pigmentation-wise I was impressed. It's so pigmented! When I first swatch them on my hand, I was blown away. Even though I was blown away, it doesn't mean it'll have the same results on the face. No, this one had the same results! I did not have to layer for it to show on my skin. One layer was good enough. The thing I liked about this highlighters and contour is that the highlighters weren't glittery. They're just glow on the skin. I also like that the contour was matte. It looked more natural on the skin, as well as, it wasn't too orange. It's more a grayish-brown color which I prefer. Lastly, it lasted all day on my skin. Since I have dry skin, most powder products do. I'm glad I got to try this product. It has to be one of the best highlighters I have tried. I did not have to work hard for it to show on my skin. It's easy to work with and not only that, it's cheap. This tells me a lot about the company. They care more about the products than packaging!
