Pass or Praiseworthy: Dior

One of Kim Kardashian's makeup artists Mario recommended Eye M Glam by Giella as a highlighter and since my holy grail highlighter from Dior is now discontinued I've been on the hunt. I ordered one for myself and my girlfriend(ordering 1 just didn't make sense with the $25 shipping to Canada).

I also spotted the RT setting brush on Jade's IG, and ordered that from Amazon.

Readers have you tried either of these? Thoughts?

Sephora purchase

I have been on a hunt for a natural highlighter and spotted the Hourglass Ambient Light reviews on The Beauty Lookbook...

Hourglass Ambient Light Powder in Luminous

I ran out and bought mine at Sephora

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. It is as Sabrina says! I too agree this makes a lovely highlighter. I find it perfect for day, I run this along the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose and cupids bow. For eyebrow highlight I use MAC Shroom (holy grail status for inner tearduct and eyebrow highlight pour moi.)
For night though, I prefer to amp up the cheekbones with another holy grail, Dior Amber Diamond.

Still the product junkie in me craves the search and I'm still on the hunt for another highlighter that blows these outta the park...
