Hello my lovessss! Thank you everyone for the warm wishes!! On my birthday today, I’ll be sharing with you my favorite kind of cake 😉 hehe! We’re all highlight crazy but for me it’s truly an addiction. I got my hands on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminators in all four shades: Starlight, So Hollywood, Peach Nectar, & Riviera. I also received Anastasia’s A23 brush which compliments these highlighters beautifully and is a great size to add a topper to your cheeks.

Anastasia Beverly Hills A23 Brush
The range of these colors are gorgeous and there is something that suits every skintone! They aren’t powdery or ashy and they have a metallic finish that I love! If you don’t like your highlight too bold just apply with a light hand and diffuse for a more subtle look.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Starlight Illuminator
Starlight is the lightest of the four and is essentially colorless. I love ‘white’ highlighters because for me they are the most bold in photos – but I have to make sure I’m bronzed up really well to not look ghost-faced. I also like to lightly dust it on top of a more pigmented highlighter for that extra pop. This would be great on fair-skin even without blush for a luminous glow.
Anastasia Beverly Hills So Hollywood Illuminator
So Hollywood is a gorgeous gold – from my instagram feed it seems that this is the most popular shade, no surprise there as it’s a great dupe of MAC Whisper of Gilt. I love its metallic finish.
Peach Nectar and Riviera are more colored and pigmented; they can work as shimmery blushes for some skintones.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Peach Nectar Illuminator
Peach Nectar is described as a “warm rose gold” but I think its far too orange to be considered rose. Its such a beautiful warm shade with wonderful color pay off – I think its beautiful on its own!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Illuminator
Riviera is the most unique out of the bunch! It’s coppery but also a little plum-like, perfect for autumn and also great worn on its own!
Wearing So Hollywood
i have wanted the ABH Starlight Illuminator for YEARS and its sold out everywhere. any chance you’re selling yours?

Is the color of peach nectar close to Jaclyn Hill’s Champagne Pop?
Or NYX Illuminator in the shade Magnetic?
Happy Birthday Irene ! May all your wishes come true 🙂 And I just have to say you looked absolutely breathtaking on your birthday night pictures, so happy to see you back with long black hair !
I’m loving these highlighters and I kind of want to cry because they don’t sell Anastasia products in my country 🙁
Could you please do a blogpost on how bleaching your hair has affected it and how it is since you’ve dyed it back to black please ?
I’m loving so Hollywood and Rivera but, I’m trying to be really good and not buy it coz everyone else has bought them. Now seeing these swatches I’m so so tempted ???
Ps. Happy (Belated) Birthday ❤️
