I recently picked up the
City Color Highlight Trio ($8.99) during a recent haul and figured I would share a (very) quick review with you guys. It's not the sort of product I need to go super in-depth with, but I still wanted to post some swatches and let you know my thoughts. So let's get started!
The Highlight Trio is packaged in a slim black case (no mirror) and contains three large highlighters inside. There's a true gold shade, a pearl shade that's more off-white than pure white, and a pinky-peachy highlight.
All three shades pack a lot of punch...these aren't a subtle highlight at all. I think they're great for those of you who really want your highlight to show up easily on the skin because they're so pigmented and don't take a lot of effort to create a bold cheekbone. They have a very finely milled shimmer, so there's no chunky glitter...it's more of a sheen.
There's also a darker version of this palette if you like a more bronzy-looking highlight.
If you're looking for bold, pigmented highlighters at a great price, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the
City Color Highlight Trio during your next haul. I was recently swatching the new
Tarte Skin Twinkle palette ($42) and I think this City Color palette was right on par in terms of pigmentation and feel. Of course the Tarte packaging is much more luxe, but if you don't care about that sort of thing, this is a great alternative!

Can you only get this brand online? :)
ReplyDeleteFor the most part, yes. You can find some products at Five Below stores and sometimes at Burlington Coat Factory, but it's never the full line and the products they do carry can change from week to week.
