Product:

This highlighter is a shimmery finish fine mica powder. I personally don't like a frost highlighter but the texture has the same fine shimmer consistency as you blend it out on the skin. No surprise pop of large shimmer either. It very easy to blend out and looks smooth on the skin.

Colour: 

Exposed is a pale gold with a shimmer finish.

Wear: On the cheeks, it lasts 8-10 hours before noticing any fading.

Packaging: This is compact is plastic with a mirror in the lid.

Flash swatches: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Highlighter in Exposed, buffed out on the skin.

Verdict:

I do like the product but it's not for me, I like my highlighter texture to be slightly more subtle compared to this one. But if I get a chance to try the other 2 shades in store there might be a shade for me. ;)
