So I am from South Africa and this palette retails for R375 which is about $30. Firstly, it's quite pricy for a drugstore product so I done my research and I found really great reviews so I went ahead and bought it. This is the second highlighter that I bought and the first was global glow by Mac. At first, I loved it, but then I noticed how every colour almost looks the same on the skin? (I am Mac NC42) it all just looks like it shines really silvery and some more silvery than others(the lighter ones ofcourse). I also find that it's quite powdery and difficult to blend(I use the RT Setting brush for highlighter) and it spills all over my clothing when I put it on because of all the fallout. I am still giving it 4 stars bc it is a good highlight in the sense that it is very very pigmented and you do kind of get a lot of product for the price even though I was tempted to give it 3, but that was just because of the letdown when trying the actual product and comparing it to reviews. I recently bought the Wet n Wild Megaglo highlighter and it's absolutely amazing for only R90! I think it's way better and that will probably become my HG and i doubt I'll repurchase this product.

To me this is a very average highligher palette, I don't understand why almost everyone seems to give it glowing reviews. It's not bad by any means, just not as great as i expected it to be from reading and watching tonnes of other reviews. When i use a regular highlighting brush to apply this i feel like it doesn't pick up much of the undertone of each colour (which was disappointing because part of the reason i bought this palette was because i liked its colour range) and only deposits the shimmery particles on my face, which makes it look a bit like glittery eyeshadow fallout and not like i applied highlighter. I also find the formula to be quite dry and powdery, which makes it hard to layer without looking chalky. Because of its texture, i also find it doesn't melt nicely into my base makeup and just sits on top of the skin. Not a horrible palette but there are definitely better drugstore highliters, like the elf baked highliters for example. Would not repurchase and will probably just give it away to a friend.

The NYX Born to Glow Highlighting Palette is a nice palette that contains a nice variety of colors that can be used for highlighting, shimmery blush, or even a bronzing look. I have more fair skin but I believe the colors in this palette could work well for a large variety of skin tones from fair to deep. The formula is very blendable as well as lasts well throughout the day. This is also a pretty decent value or a great starter set for someone just starting their makeup collection. My more detailed review with full swatches can be seen here:

This is definitely a good value for the price! You're getting 7 different highlighters for $19. I remember when this first came out, it was when highlighting was really starting to becoming a thing so I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I was also so drawn to that purple shade. I knew I'd try all of them except the gold. Still haven't used the gold lol, not sure I ever will. Did see a reviewer say they mixed it with the bronze shade and liked the outcome. Might try that. I don't really use this a whole lot, but I pulled it out the other day when I didn't want such a golden highlight for a night out(usually use champagne pop for nights out. Daytime is either day glow from Lorac or Becca moon stone) I mixed the champagne on the bottom with the far left light gold. Liked the outcome. I think I use the bottom shades the most if anything. But I feel like they can tend to all look the same on the skin, idk. I don't think I'll ever hit pan on any of these shades, especially with so many highlighters out there and already having a lot in my collection. That's why I said no to repurchase. But I am glad I have this option in my collection. And again with the good value for money, you could use these for shimmery eyeshadows if you wanted. Definitely recommend to someone wanting a highlighter with not a lot of money or someone starting out with makeup or someone who wants lots of options. Good job nyx!

I love shimmering products and I'd rather highlight features and focus less on overdone contouring. These colors are so versatile and fun to play with. I use the deepest bronze/pink shade as a blush and the others as a highlight or an eyeshadow. The price is reasonable and I've gotten a lot of use out of it. Well worth the purchase!
