[unpaid/sample] I seem to think the last time I wrote about this brand, Iconic London, I wasn’t all that impressed but it looks like things have greatly improved because the Silk Glow Duo is a lovely product.
Personally, I don’t particularly want a lot of highlight pigment in my products – I like to have something not so glowy and then add on the right amount of glow myself, but this duo seems to have an ideal amount that you can adapt by adding less or more as you please.
The pink blush shade is a coral/pink hybrid with tiny golden particles – quite honestly, it’s gorgeous as an eye shadow and that would be my preferred way to wear it, but the champagne shade highlighter can be used in so many ways. Add a dot to clear lip gloss to give it a golden glow (just pop some in the palm of you hand, rub your finger over the highlight and then blend together), use as an eye brightener on the lids or mix with a creme blush in the same style as the gloss mix. Or, of course, you can just use it as it is.
The formula is a kind of gel/powder mix so it’s very blendable – it’s not the dry, droppy dust of many highlighters. There’s a pink toned option too. You can find the duo at Cloud10 HERE for £30.

Looks very pretty indeed! Blush is gorgeous (and still not too shiny to use it as blush 🙂 ). I also love to put some pink\coral\blushy tint into grease to refresh the look of my eyes (just a bit, nearly invisible with eyes open, but it works somehow)… I’m tempted… but have so many highlight-ish shadows in my palettes that it still seems a bit too much. I’d prefer more of the separate products from all brands – single eyeshadows(these amazing Huda duochromes and shimmers that I used almost to the bottom from Mercury palette – would LOVE refill), separate blush… Trying to be smarter consumer and fail (don’t laugh)…
That’s a very good point – there are always some colours in a palette that we finish first… refills would be a fabulous idea 🙂
