As Coco Chanel once said "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.".  Well...If this highlighter isn't classy and fabulous than I simply don't know what is.
Perles Et Fantaisies retails for $70 USD/$77 CAD.  I purchased mine at Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique and paid using Shoppers Optimum Points.  I also picked up a Chanel blush and a Chanel lipstick.  While I do admit that if I had to pay cash for this I probably would look at it longingly before putting it back, getting to redeem for it after buying stuff I buy anyways- why not?

"This exclusive palette lights up the complexion with delicate pink and luminous white shades. An embossed design resembles stands of pearls."

This beautiful highlighter has an embossed detail to die for-- look at the subtle"CC" and luxe pearl design.  Even the box is embossed!  It comes in a little velvet pouch with a small flat brush (that also has its own little pouch!).  The packaging is sturdy and the brush is perfect for on the go touch-ups, though I personally would not take this product on the go because I would be too afraid of smashing it.  Recently my favourite Becca highlighter was smashed to a fine dust while travelling and it really would break my heart to see this beautiful powder meet that fate.

To the right of each swatch I have applied it using the brush to get an idea of how it would actually look on the skin.

This highlighter (I keep on wanting to call it a blush!) can be used blended or either colour separate. For the photos where I am actually wearing the product I have blended the two along the top of my cheek bone, my nose, above the eyebrow and my cupid's bow.

I love how gentle this highlighter is.  Up close you can see lots of sparkle, but from afar it really just looks like a lit-from-within glow.  I love that it is a more silver tones highlight as most of my other highlighters in my collection have more of a warm champagne lean to them. 

If you can redeem for points, or have $77 to spare than I totally recommend adding this beauty to your collection.  I feel a little bit guilty every time I use it, but why buy beautiful products just to look at? 

What is on your high end wish list right now?  I mean, hey, Valentine's Day is coming up?
