I have been eyeing up this highlighter for ages, I mean, it's green! It's so bizarre to see a green highlighter, in fact, I can't think of another brand that has one!
As awesome as it is though, I wasn't sure that it would be very wearable but I how wrong was I! I really love this!
Lets start with the packaging, it is gorgeous. You get a huge amount of product in a sturdy compact with a whopping mirror. Personally I don't really use the included mirrors in anything but it is nice touch, it adds such a luxurious feel. The compact is perfectly sized for the palm of your hand and produces a beautifully satisfying click when you snap it closed!
I love the hot pink as well, it's different to most of my other makeup so it stands out in my collection and allows me to reach right for it.
The attention to detail is incredible, I have used this so many times now and the embossed star is still clear as day which makes me super happy because it is so adorable. The formula itself is buttery and smooth, you literally cannot feel the shimmer or glitter in the product at all; it's actually really weird. I don't know how Jeffree managed it.
The colour pay off is incredible. I thought that being that this is ultimately a highlighter that maybe the actual green pigment would be very faint but that is not the case at all, if used dry the highlight you get is most definitely green and if you're not careful you can end up with a green stripe on your cheek. That isn't a bad thing though, I bought a green highlight so I wanted a green highlight so I'm happy I wasn't disappointed. I've found that the best approach is to use a very fluffy brush then blend the shit out of it. I also like to layer a more white toned highlight over the top to help blend away any harsh lines.
Mint Condition does require some effort and a unique approach, this is not your typical highlighter but personally, I think it's great.
