Hello , hello  time for ABH feat. Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit Swatches and Review
I must admit that I'm one guilty of the overthinking, and because of that, I was late to the Glow Kit party. Can you believe it? OMG Nope I don't have any of the original glow kits

 
Part of that is because I live in the Netherlands, and here only Sun Dipped (way too dark for me) and Gleam (also pretty dark for me ) where available. And that only in the online stores. I didn't want to go that far on ordering one overseas, and to top it I had my heart divided between That Glow and Sweets. Is freaking hard to make a choice when you can't swatch. Well, one thing leads to another I waited till they weren't available to the market anymore. dang

Last summer during vacation, I  swatched and tried the Sun Dipped one from a friend. And while the colors were indeed too dark for me (bronzed) but the formulation was beautiful and photographed gorgeously.
When the Ultimate Glow came out, I  was quite disappointed by the swatches ( as seen on Instagram and youtube). I mean I'm 40-something I can't ( and I don't like) to wear chunks of glitter over my face.

At the beginning of March, Anastasia Beverly Hills highlighter family added the Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit. Watched literally every teaser on youtube and Instagram and I was sold.
For the ones who doesn't know (is there anyone who doesn't know her??!?) Nicole Guerriero is a great youtube-er with over 2 million subscribers.
So, I did order it from Anastasia Website directly. Placed the order on a Friday and Monday got my products delivered at home.
I ordered the Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit and the Mini Lip Gloss Set  Summer had to pay a $68.00 and $17.95 in shipping, also paid around 14 euro on import duties. So altogether it wasn't cheap, but hey I have an ABH glow kit (at last)

Final thoughts

Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit is reminiscent of the original kits but quite not the same formula; the colors are stunning, and they are buttery, I did not experience lots of fallout but is a tiny little bit chunkier than the original ones. I could see the glitter on my face in daylight.
Photographs gorgeous, last on face the whole day ( i use it with NYX dewy finish spray)
