SEVENTEEN: 3 way wow highlighter

A couple of weeks back my trusty benefit sun beam finally ran out and I was lift with a highlighter shaped hole in my make up bag. A little bit of googling and blog viewing later and I had a short list of potential new products to try. Mary Lou Manizer was one that seemed to pop up a lot  ( and is definitely on my to buy list) but generally preferring a liquid highlighter I eventually opted for one of seventeen's new offerings instead.

Seventeen isn't a brand I usually pay much attention to but with a whole host of new products I've seen them being mentioned on several of my favourite blogs.
 It was actually the girls at Stylingo that influenced this purchase, and priced at just £5.99 I thought it would be silly not to give it a try. Designed to be used as a primer, added to cheek and brow bones or mixed in with your foundation for a bit of an extra glow this highlighter actually reminded me of a slightly more pink   version of benefits high beam. Being pearlescent the highlighter gives the most gorgeous sheen to the high points of your face but is subtle enough to look really natural, although if you have quite warm toned skin it probably isn't for you. I tried to get a photograph showing the product blended out, like you would actually wear it on your skin but it's just so subtle that it was really hard to photograph. I did find I had to work with it quite quickly as it can be fast drying and it does take a bit of blending (despite being a very light texture and quite runny ) but it does look great if you're willing to put a little bit of effort in. I also love how it is glitter free and comes with a pump (yay!). I continually repurchase benefit's highlighters but I've never really liked that they come with a brush and I find having a pump is so much easier to control the amount you dispense and use etc. 

As for its priming properties, I can't really comment on those as I don't intend to use it for that reason.

For the money this is a great budget highlighter and would definitely suit someone who's new to highlighting. If you have any highlighter reviews or recommendations feel free to post the links below.
