Rouge Bunny Rouge Highlighting Liquid in Sea of Nectar +

hi ho hum it's June which means it's time to break out the warm golden colors ! you know bronzers, luminizers, highlighters, sparkly things that make me look like Jennifer Lopez. 

I never really bothered to look golden, well very simply because I can easily tan to NC35+ over the summer. I avoid the sun now, and given my schedule I hardly see it...but that doesn't change the fact that I still want to look like the sun and I get along sometimes. :)

So today we have Rouge Bunny Rouge Sea of Nectar...It's a highlighting liquid that's the darkest shade from Rouge Bunny Rouge line of highlighters. I know most of us like the pretty lighter shades for our cheeks such as Sea of Tranquility. But let's be real here, I know many of us want to have that warm radiance. Most of my life I always asked myself "What is it with Americans and wanting to be tan? but WHY!?!?!?" Ok, maybe I still ask that question but I get it, some people want to look nice and golden, like a rotisserie chicken (kidding!). 

Packaging: It comes in the gorgeous frosted glass packaging, just like Sea of Tranquility. with black flowers on the glass. I seriously fear the day I'd drop it from being such a klutz. Either way, it's definitely pretty and luxurious. It's something that you want out on your vanity because it's pretty to look at.

Formula and Texture: Sea of Nectar is a metallic warm gold, with a very slight red undertone. It's neat because it has this high metallic sheen, but when rubbed onto your skin, it's luminous. This is what I *wish* Becca's highlighters had been, but that's ok. I'm not complaining.  It's an opaque highlighter, which I personally don't mind because I like to wear it at night. You know...in the club...with all the strobe lights on you. heee. I would use this moreso on my body than on my face. When your skin looks and feels dull on a Saturday night, this would definitely give it luminosity. I can wear it on my face with a light hand as an awesome luminous blush.

Price and Size: $70 (the reason for this approximation is the conversion from GBP to USD),1.01 fluid ounce, or 30 mL

you can see how opaque Sea of Nectar is when rubbed in a bit and the dry down? my fingers are in serious pain so I lazily rubbed in Bella Bronze (my HG body bronzer). nomm

Worth having?: For me I like it, and it has a specific purpose and I think it's worth it. At the same time, I can see why some people may steer clear from it because it may be too intense or too dark, especially if you're like a NC15. It can be sheered out a bit more than that, and it's still luminous . . . but you know what? It's glorious for us who are a bit darker in skintone...so yay !
