I got this in the Benefit cheek champions gift set but hadn't used it until recently. Dandelion twinkle is a beautiful nude-pink highlighting powder that creates insane radiance; a little goes a long way with the superfine formula. You can definitely build this up quickly to deliver the perfect strobe but if that's not your style, gently sweep a small amount over the cheekbones and high points of the face for the most gorgeous glow. I have a lot of highlighters but I like the fact that this is a baked formula and melts into my fair skin easily; no stripes on my cheeks! Plus the packaging is super cute. I only have the mini but I can see it lasting me quite a while.

I picked up this little beauty! Because- well is there ever a justification needed to buy another highlighter? You can never have to many in my book.
I didn’t know what to expect because I’ve not used benefit face products IN A LONG TIME! But if your looking for that beautiful natural highlight to your complexion. I’d recommend giving this ago.
It’s just the right amount of soft glow. Especially maybe if you are slightly weary of trying a highlighter for the first time.
I use the word it’s pretty. pretty simple make up.
Another major perk is there are minis available if you didn’t want to pay the full price for full size. So you can try the product and make a call on it. Which is great.
Hope this helps someone!

This is a lovely highlighter for a subtle healthy glow. I'm not a huge fan of highlighters personally but wanted something to give me a healthy glow, especially on days when I don't want to wear an awful lot of make-up. Some days I just wear this on its own. I love the dandelion blusher so thought this would be a good purchase and I wasn't wrong. It's a gorgeous pinky/peachy shade which is just what I was after. It's also not too sparkly/shimmery which I was afraid it would be. Packaging is lovely and I love that you can get the mini version as it is quite expensive. I personally don't use the brush it came with but it's not a bad little brush- does the job. It applies really well, gliding on nicely and lasts a good amount of time. This highlighter is buildable but you never get a strong strobe effect so if that's your type of highlighter then this might not be the best product for you. The great thing about this product is that the colour is pretty universal and I think will look great on all skin tones. Would definitely buy again but think I would get the mini as I don't wear this everyday and would be more cost effective that way.👍

This is amazing highlighter for every day makeup look or going to work as its its not in your face that some highlighters which someone people don't like or can't get away for many reasons but still highlights the face perfect. Its really nice and easy to use and last for hours and amazing for any age.

Benefit is my all time favourite high-end makeup brand. I absolutely loved the look and sound of this highlighter which is why I purchased it. Love the boxed packaging. It’s more on the expensive side however you can purchased minis for less. This highlighter is truly beautiful. You get a brush with this product which is soft & now & again I may reach for it to use, for a mini brush it isn’t that bad really to use. This highlighter is like a pretty pinky, peach shade which are my favourite shades to use. The powder in the pan to the touch is soft. It applies really well to the skin and lasts on the face quite a while. It is more of a subtle highlighter so if you prefer your highlighters to be blinding then I don’t think you’d like this product. I’ve heard people use it as a skin finish product however I’ve not tried it that way before and not sure I would really. I would 100% recommend this product and I would repurchase it.

I won this and I am so glad I did, this highlighter is stunning🤩!
The packaging is a metallic pink box with a image of a dandelion on it which is super cute in my opinion. The box closes shut, I believe it may have a magnetic closure 🧲which keeps it from opening. A brush come with this and it is actually really soft but I wouldn’t personally use it especially for applying highlighter . There is also a mirror included even though it’s really small, for just applying highlighter on the go I don’t want to grab another mirror so that one works just fine but it is on the smaller side👍.
The powder itself is very smooth to the touch and it doesn’t feel chunky whatsoever. It is a gorgeous pinky highlighter, it’s more of a champagne pink than just a standard pink highlighter which is great since pink highlighters aren’t really my go to. This has tiny shimmer particles✨ but they just make it even more stunning. They aren’t very noticeable on the skin and they don’t go all over the face they just a extra but if sheen. This is more off a subtle natural highlight perfect for everyday use, you can build it a bit but it doesn’t go into a very blinding highlighter. This goes on beautifully into the skin, it melts right in not making it look powdery at all😄.
This is one of my favourite highlighters ever I would definitely recommend if you want to get a subtle highlighter🤩👍.

I won this for a review of the week and so pleased I did! I absolutely love this! this is such a pretty highlighter. This really gives a beautiful natural glow, but if you wanted a little more sparkle it builds up beautifully. Lasted really well throughout the day, just perfect.

It’s not very often I hit pan on a highlighter but this highlighter is amazing.
Definitely only suitable for light- medium skin tones but it has the most amazing glow.
It isn’t a glittery highlighter which I love, it just has a subtle glow which is amazing.
I repurchased a mini last week because the full sized lasted me a while. But it expired before I used it up ,so I would definitely recommend a mini unless you will use this product every single day.
Overall this highlighter is amazing and if you are going to purchase a new highlighter I would definitely say this should be your first choice.
