LA Girl Strobe Lite Strobing Powder Review

Happy Monday, dolls! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. The hubs and I are headed to Reno for the week for a last minute getaway, but I wanted to get this blogpost up while we are away 🙂 Today, we are reviewing the L.A. Girl Strobe Lite Strobing Powders I picked up from Ulta. LA Girl makes one of my favorite affordable concealers (HD Pro Conceal), so when I saw they came out with these highlighters, I was excited to put them to the test.

What it is: L.A. Girl’s Strobe Lite Strobing Powder highlights your facial features by creating more depth and dimension where light usually hits. The soft and silky powder adds a fresh glow to highlight cheeks, brighten eyes, sculpt nose, and enhance pout. Strobe Lite can be applied alone or over makeup for a perfect glowing complexion. Powder is paraben and fragrance free (ulta.com).

Price: $7.99, 0.19 oz (ulta.com)

Packaging: I like the compact and sturdy packaging, which will hold up during travel. The gold trim is very chic as well.Formula: These strobing powders feel so smooth and creamy to the touch. The formula is finely milled, intensely pigmented, but blendable and doesn’t emphasize the texture of my skin. I detect hints of glitter in the pan, but it doesn’t show up when applied on the skin at all. A light wash of these powders on a fan brush gives a gorgeous glow to the cheekbones and highpoints of the face. You can definitely build this up for a highly reflective sheen, if so desired.Swatches: I picked up two shades: 50 Watt and 80 Watt. These shades are very similar to one another with minute differences. 80 Watt is a classic, pale champagne shade while 50 Watt is slightly darker, and leans more golden. I’ve used both shades, mixed together and alone, and found them very flattering with my golden-tanned skintone. Ulta.com currently offers only 3 shades, but the LA Girl website offers the full range of 12 shades, from icy white to deep copper. I would love for Ulta to expand their range and carry all the shades. Wink wink 😉Overall Rating: I was very impressed with the quality and performance of these LA Girl Strobing Powders so I award them 10/10 stars. I love the creamy formula, shimmery effect, and affordable price point. These powders are pigmented enough to give you an intense highlight if so desired, or a subtle all-over-glow with a lighter hand. These shades are so flattering on a wide range of skintones and I would love to pick up even more shades from the line. I love these strobing powders and highly recommend adding them to your highlighter collection! ?
