Description: (Taken from the Laura Geller Website)
"Illuminate your natural beauty! This innovative hybrid texture applies like a sheer powder but feels like a cream, creating a translucent wash of luminous color that can be swept all over the face for a lit-from-within glow. A fresh 3-D design captures the look of our favorite Italian dessert, and lasts until the very last application."

Overall Thoughts:
Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator currently includes two different shades: Gilded Honey and Ballerina. From what I have researched, this liquid gold highlighter popped up on the scene back in April-May 2015 and was made known by the Artist/Instagramer Amra Olevic (@amrezy). After she posted about this highlighter, Gilded Honey was flying of the shelves and sold out all over the place. I remember making several trips to Ulta for months in search of this baby. At one point, I was told by one of the employees from Ulta that they would no longer be carrying Laura Geller products at all and that day I felt like a tiny piece of me had died. Honestly, I hate ordering makeup online cause I am one of those people that like to touch things and will leave every makeup store looking like I murdered Tinker Bell all over my arms. If you are looking for that coveted J. Lo glowy dewy sun kissed by the gods look, then say no more and run to the store to buy Gilded Honey. I will be right here when you get back. Yes, this product is $26.00 and the packaging looks like it came out of the dollar bin from the drugstore but in the grander scheme of things it is the more affordable highlighter option on the market in the high-end brand spectrum. The texture is not a powder or a cream but does have a sheen smooth texture that blends flawlessly on the skin without accentuating the pores. I know that in the pan this looks like a glittery mess waiting to happen but on the contrary it has just the right amount of glisten to capture the sunlight. You can achieve different coverages depending on the method of application you choose. If you want a more sheerer application, then you should use a feather fan brush. For a more opaque coverage, you can use a small domed brush or even your finger. If you want that "WAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM" look, then I recommend either wetting the brush with some MAC Cosmetics Fix Plus or even using a cream highlighter as a base underneath. I will definitely be repurchasing Gilded Honey probably the next time I see since it is a hard item to track down in stores. I also purchased Ballerina and will be doing a review on it as well.
