    I love the look of m.a.c's mineralize skinfinish in soft and gentle but I'm not so sure about spending the money on it yet.Anyone have any favourite light shimmery highlight powders?

    I have the MAC beauty powder in Snow Globe and like it a lot for highlighting - it was limited edition though. I think eyeshadows can work just as well tbh, as long as you use a light hand. Virgin from the UD Naked palette is a good one.

    i love kevyn aucoin the celestial powder in candlelight its fab & lasts literally for years! you only need a little its lovely whether you are fair or dark skinned. its about 40 euros tho. hard to get in ireland but i got mine from mise beauty, it was out of stock for ages so i emailed them, the girl kept me one when they came back in stock and i just rang and paid with my laser card. love it, use it as a base eyeshadow as well.

    Think i'll try the balm one actually, the packaging looks a bit sturdier! I'll have to get it off feelunique.com as I've never seen the balm in galway before?

    Yep that's it! They definitely had some blushes, mascara and other w7 stuff when I was in there last. They're not all together though; the make-up was on shelves beside the till iirc.

    Does it come out pinkish though? because some people call it highlighter and others call it blush?

    I dont find it pink at all.. Its pretty much sheer IMO, just leaves a lovely shimmer. Used it on my cheeks and nose, prefer it to Benefit High Beam tbh, same effect but less hassle cause its a powder :)
