Things to Consider:
- The highlighter contains Mica, Titanium Dioxide, and Iron Oxides, which may not be suitable for all skin types, especially those prone to sensitivity.
- While the ingredient list mentions nourishing oils, the inclusion of fragrance and drying alcohols like Laureth-7 might raise concerns for some.
- The 4.5g size may seem small compared to other highlighters.
Overall:

Its buildable formula and nourishing ingredients are appealing, but the presence of certain ingredients and potential downsides require consideration. If you're looking for a subtle, affordable highlighter and your skin tolerates the listed ingredients, this might be worth a try. Just remember to patch test and start with a light application
