My Take on this ..! 

Like I mentioned earlier .. I have not used highlighters before so using this one was intimidating for me.I experimented with this a lot and ended up loving it even more after every single use.

I set my base (foundation /setting powder) and then used this to highlight my cheek bones with the lighter one and then I went ahead to use the other side (bronzer one) to contour my face.It contains fine velvet pearl that give that reflective shimmery effect.

I first used it with my fingers to apply the product on my cheeks .. and later got myself a fan brush for a proper result.. Initially I observed that the highlighter is not a blinding highlighter .. it is rather subtle..and I could see tiny shimmery particles as well which I wasn't a huge fan of .. Later I observed that if used properly with the right amount of product it builds up really well and lasts quite long. I also used this to highlight the high points on my face like cheeks , chin , forehead and inner corners of my eyes..the more I experimented the more satisfied I was with my purchase.

Now coming to the bronzer that is used for contouring the face .. I mostly ended up using this as an eyeshadow .. Yep .. Seriously ! .. The color looks stunning on eyelids when used as an eyeshadow .. trust me and try it out yourself and you will know !! .. Contouring was easy too .. I had a hard time understanding how it is done .. but when I learnt that I was able to use it and get fair results.

How much does it Cost? !! :

9 gm of product comes for INR 725/- Click to buy from Nykaa or Amazon 

What Did I like about this product ?:

1. Gives a stunning reflective glow on the face.
2. Initially it is light but is buildable.
3. Can be used as an eyeshadow as well as to highlight the inner corners of your eyes.
4. Looks luxurious.
5. It is a limited edition highlighter and has unique and beautiful look.
6. It is a 2 sided highlighter for highlighting and contouring.
7. Travel friendly.

What did I dislike about this product:

It is definitely on a pricier side . . And gives best results when you use it with a proper application brush .. so You need to purchase that as well .. 

Recommended to use ??
