I was very intrigued the minute I got my hands on these new highlighter palettes from MAC.  First of all, I don't think MAC has ever come up with a highlighter palette before.  I've collected MAC's mineralize skinfinishes to their extra dimension skinfinishes, but I don't remember having a highlighter palette from MAC before.

MAC comes up with two color schemes: a golden and a pink/rose gold.  The golden palette is called Get it Glowin'.   It has varying shades of gold, from a buttery yellow gold to an orangey copper gold.

The pink/rose gold palette is named MAC Flash + Awe.  This one has softer shades - two similar looking pink shades and a rose gold shade.

See swatches below and my thoughts on these highlighters after the jump!

Wearing Hyper Real Glow Palette in Flash + Awe

The formula is creamy, although I've heard that there were some mixed reviews.  I however find it nice and creamy.  It is also long-lasting, especially when used with a setting spray.  As you can see from the photo above, the finish is not full-on metallic, but a nice, soft formula.   I like it because it's not an in-you-face space-orbiting kind of a highlight.  It's soft, subtle and yes, dare I say- classy.

Do not dig into the product too much as it can get kinda crumbly, just because of its creaminess.  If you need a nice, portable little highlighter palette that's travel friendly (I like the cardboard packaging), check out the MAC Hyper Real Glow Highlighter Palettes.  They retail for $39.50 is available at MAC retail stores and macccosmetics.com.
