Essence Choose Your Glow Highlighter Palette

If you’re all about the glow, you’re going to want to know all about the new Essence Choose Your Glow Highlighter Palette. Essence tend to launch products in two new collections each year; the Spring Summer update, and then the Autumn Winter update. Each update will have upto 20 new products, and it’s a little overwhelming with so many new products in one go but that’s how they roll.

They also regularly discontinue products, so if you ever fall in love with an Essence product, I’d always recommend stocking up as you never known when it’ll be pulled from the shelves.

The Essence Choose Your Glow Highlighter Palette is set to launch at Wilko within the coming weeks, and I guess will be around the £6 mark by looking at other similar highlighter palettes.

The palette has cardboard packaging, and contains 18 grams of product which is really generous for a highlighter palette – making each of the Essence Choose Your Glow Highlighter Palette shades 6 grams, which is as much product as you’d get in a full size Essence Highlighter.

Inside the palette, there are three shades of highlighter; Candlelit Glow, Major Glow and Summer Glow. The powders have a raised, faceted design which is giving me Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics Accent Light Palette or bareMinerals Crystalline Palette vibes.

Candlelit Glow within the Essence Choose Your Glow Highlighter Palette, looks like a more subtle peachy toned highlight with no obvious shimmer particles. Major Glow looks to be a champagne, with golden shimmer and like the name suggests, is a more intense highlighter compared to Candelit Glow.

The third and final shade in the Essence Choose Your Glow Highlighter Palette, Summer Glow is a beautiful, deep bronze shade which looks as if it’d double up as a bronzer as well as a highlighter depending on your skintone. The palette has been created so you can use each shade individually, or you can blend multiple shades for a customisable glow. It looks like such a pretty palette, and it’s amazing that it’s so affordable.
