Help!!!! Crystal perfecting glow or Cherub glow?

Hi ladies,

well yet again my shopping cart is full to bursting but I appear to have a couple items which may be quite similar.

I am looking for something pink & shimmery which I can wear on my cheekbones as a highlighter without looking too 'done' - I have Crystal Perfecting Glow & Cherub Glow in my basket currently and am trying to decide whether this is neccessary or if just the one will do!!!!

From the descriptions I get the impression that Cherub may be a touch deeper in colour with more 'sparkles' in there than Crystal, and that Cherub may be more suitable to use a blush type product, whereas Crystal might be better as an all over face colour for an extra bit of radiance - am I right?

If I was to go for only one of them, which would you recommend?

Any suggestions gratefully appreiated :D

You have the descriptions pretty much right.

For me, since I rarely have occasions needing all out glow, I would go with the Crystal. It would be something that would get used more often in my makeup bag. The other benefits of the Crystal, is that it has ingredients to 'perfect' the look of the skin, where Cherub is concentrated shimmer.

I agree. Crystal is much more versatile. It can be used over blush on the cheeks or as an all-over glow. The Perfecting Glows are really nice products.

Thanks for the fantastic advice - it definitely sounds like Crystal will be the more useable option and best for everyday use, but I just couldn't resist & ordered both yesterday!!!! :D

Cool. Let us know how you like Crystal. I got a free sample baggie of Cherub (the pink shimmery one) with my first order and it's perfect for top of the cheekbone luminescence. You need the tiniest pinch on a fluffy brush. Beautiful. (I'm so excited my second order has just been dispatched - it's probably nuts to be so excited that I needed to tell someone... ) :D

Well the verdict is in, and I should have taken your sage advice and just gone with Crystal Perfecting Glow.

I have 2 other glows (Cupid & Heavenly) which I loooooove, but Cherub is just not right on me I'm afraid.

Crystal is absolutely gorgeous & gives a lovely sheer pink finish like a glowy, dewy bloom to my skin, whereas Cherub appears to have an almost bluey lilac undertone (definitely much cooler toned) - which I was surprised about because on the photos & in the jar it looks like it should be the other way around.

So for anyone who is undecided I would go with Crystal.

HTH.
