Anastasia Beverly Hills Aurora Glow Kit
17:00When I saw that another Glow Kit was being released, I knew I had to buy it, and I was really looking forward to trying it out. Many of the other kits have some unusual colours which you wouldn't first think of for a highlighter, and this palette is no different. But the first thing that struck me about this is that it is a mixture of so many brightly coloured highlighters in one palette, compared to the Moonchild Glow Kit, for example, where they are all blue toned.
Having previously tried so many other Glow Kits, I knew exactly what to expect from them and they certainly lived up to all expectations. As with the others, what may first look scary in the pan, all the shades are really wearable and look beautiful on the skin, even for someone like myself who has very fair skin.
The Aurora Glow Kit costs £39 which I think is well priced for 6 highlighters of such a high quality, however, as the shades aren't your typical go-to for a highlighter, it may put some people off paying so much money for something which they fear may not suit them. But I really think that breaking away from the generic shades is what makes it so unique as a palette and is definitely worth giving a go.
The pans are slightly smaller than those in the Glow Kits with only 4 shades. However, I don't personally think this is too much of an issue as they are all so pigmented that you don't need to use a lot of product on each application so they'll still last forever. It also means that the palette isn't too bulky but you still get a fair amount of product in total.
There are 6 shades in the palette, Eclipse (champagne with a pinky-peach reflect), Luna (pearl with a purple orchid reflect), Spectra (lilac with a blue-green reflect), Helia (yellow gold with a turquoise reflect), Orion (blue with a purple reflect) and Lyra (rose gold with a champagne reflect). All the shades are incredibly pigmented and can be built up for an intense glow or applied lightly for a more natural look. They also look incredible mixed together!
If you're yet to try a Glow Kit, I would definitely say to go for it! There are so many different ones available now there is something to suit everyone. If you are considering buying the Aurora Glow Kit, I would also definitely recommend it, it's the same great quality as the others and definitely won't disappoint. Anyone in the UK wanting to purchase it can do so from the ABH website here.
