Review -- Sonia Kashuk Chic Luminosity Highlighter Stick in Sparkling Sands

Lately, I've been kind of obsessed with cream products.

In particular, I've been loving the natural, glowy way that cream blush looks on my cheeks -- and that kind of inspired me to branch out to cream highlighters.

Every highlighter that I own is powdered and while I love most of them, I wanted something a little more natural for summer. I got a sample size of Benefit's Watts Up as part of my birthday gift from Sephora and it's a nice product but I find the shade to be a little golden for my porcelain skin.

So when I was in Target recently picking up toothpaste and Diet Coke, the Sonia Kashuk Chic Luminousity Highlighter Stick totally caught my eye.

First of all, it's a cream formula.

Secondly, it comes in stick form so it's quick and easy to apply.

And thirdly, while Sparkling Sands, the shade I chose, is a golden color, it's lighter than Watts Up, so it's a much better option for my skin tone.

The formula is nice and creamy, so it applies easily and blends out like a dream. However, it's not too creamy or greasy that it doesn't last on the skin.  I can get a good five hours of wear out of it before needing to touch up, which is a pretty good for me when it comes to cream products.

And because it's in stick form, it's easy to toss in your bag if you want to add a little more throughout the day.

On the skin, the effect is noticeable but subtle and natural -- there's no big chunks of glitter or shimmer to make you look like a disco ball. I sometimes highlight under my brow bone and the inner corner of my eyes with it as well so it's a versatile product.

The stick contains 10.5 grams of product and retails for about $11, so it's definitely a good value. My Target had it in one other shade, Persian Sunset, which seemed to be more of a bronze-y tone.

If you're in the market for a pretty, affordable cream highlighter, I definitely recommend giving this one a try. I'd love it if they came out with another shade that was cooler -- a pearly tone maybe.
