Summer has come and gone but I’m still all about the glow, baby! All about it. Even though I have more than enough highlighters I still couldn’t talk myself out of binging on more this holiday season. Especially with all the good value sets and sales I’ve been catching lately!

Like Anastasia Beverly Hills’ awesome Cyber Monday deal where you score a free A23 Brush for every Illuminator you buy. Part of me was really tempted to buy all 4 but I was able to ignore that part and just snag 2. Along with my 2 free brushes, of course. ?

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminators and A23 Brush are a pretty big deal on Instagram amongst makeup junkies and bloggers alike so there was no way I was passing up her Cyber Monday steal. My first pick was Riviera because, hello, rose gold! Rose gold highlighters look beautiful on all complexions but I especially love them on brown skin because it’s a little different from the strong golds and bronzes we’ve grown to love. Riviera is a cool rose gold with a hint of silver shimmer that’s quite different from anything in my stash but I still think I’m going to love it.

So Hollywood was an obvious choice because I live for gold highlighters and can never get enough of them. It’s a warm pale yellow gold that anyone could wear. As you probably guessed, I have a dupe or two in my stash for this but I just had to try So Hollywood since I’m new to the Illuminators–and I don’t regret it. So Hollywood and Riviera are so soft and silky and they’re loaded with multi-dimensional shimmer that really pops. I can’t wait to try these babies on!

Have you tried the Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminators?
