This Avon Illuminating Face Pearls was sent to me months and months ago but I never really cared about it since I have oily skin and I’m hesitant to wear highlighters. I am afraid thinking that a combination of highlighter and oily skin might make me look like a glowing disco ball.
Anyway, a recent conversation with my Ate Nicole made me want to experiment with highlighters so I pulled this Avon Illuminating Face Pearls off my stash.
Surprisingly enough, it’s pretty subtle and it gives out a nice glow! It’s perfect for beginners in highlighters like me as you need to build it up a bit before you get that nice glowy look that you’ll like.
I find these illuminating pearls cute but I don’t find it economical at all, it doesn’t even fill out half of the container. It’s not travel friendly too because the packaging is quite bulky.
If you just want to practice highlighting at home, then the Avon Illuminating Face Pearl is perfect for you. However, if you want something that you can practice on and bring with you in your makeup kit, I suggest you get something else because the Avon Illuminating Face Pearls is not travel friendly, at all.
Can you recommend any highlighters that will not break the bank? Let me know your faves! <3
I haven't gotten into highlighters yet, but seeing your post makes me want to try it out now. Thanks for sharing!

Just like you I rarely wear highlighter because of my oily skin, so I don't really have any recommendations.

The pearls and colors are so lovely, but I definitely understand what you mean in it not being economical and travel friendly. I wonder why they would use such a large container!? It would've been much better to condense it. Nonetheless, the color is pretty! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far!

Maybe the packaging is some sort or a gimmick or they are trying to stand out from other brands! 🙂
These sounds awesome! Totally want to try! I haven't had anything Avon for ages, but it seems like they are stepping up their game.

They sure are stepping up their game! I'm actually quite surprised when I got this highlighter. 🙂
