FANCL Highlighter Part II

I picked up this new FANCL Highlighter along with the newer Cheek Color in Sweet Pink before I left Japan in the late summer of 2012. Like the previous Highlighter, this new one is available in only one color, the White Colors (very inspired name, isn't it?). I have been using both all this time but didn't get around to review until now.

Over all, the pressed powder highlighter is of the same quality, soft and smooth. I guess the first and foremost difference I can tell between this Highlighter and the previous one is that this one seems to lean warm, whereas the previous one has a column of blue in it. Not that it make a huge difference unless you're caking it on, because you won't be able to tell warm from cool with just a dusting. Another difference is that this one is much less shimmery than the previous. There are shimmers in this, but they're really extremely fine and give more of a brightening effect rather than the soft focus glow I got with the previous. Which is to say I prefer the old Highlighter better than this one (I hit pan, enough said!), but this one's not too bad. I'm glad I tried it and I'll keep it as an on the go item, which is perfect given its mini size.
