My Illuminator collection

I've seen quite a few makeup collection posts lately, and I have to say, they are probably some of my favourite types of posts. I love having a peek into what others are using, and staring in awe at some huge collections. I've been wanting to do a collection post, but I buy things at such a rapid rate, the posts would quickly become outdated.

I decided on doing an illuminator collection post, because I don't buy these very often and my collection is fairly stable. So let's see what ones I own...

L'Oreal Touch On Colour in Cashmere Rose

I really like the texture of this one. It feels like a powder initially, but once you put a bit more force on your finger, it becomes a cream. It took me a few uses to actually work this out. This is an excellent highlight colour for my skin tone and was actually the first highlighter I bought. I think this may be discontinued, but I still see them floating around on eBay.

This was the first FOA illuminator I bought, and obviously I liked it because I went back and bought the rest...oops. This is my favourite of the four, its a gorgeous light pink with shimmer. You can see in the photo that I've got them upside down...that is how I choose to store them, storing them the right way (lid down) makes it really messy when you unscrew the lid, it ends up everywhere. I've done a post on this and a few others, which you can read here.

I don't use this as an illuminator, but it works quite well as a bronzer. I haven't touched it this winter, because I avoid bronzer in winter.

This one is really pretty, but I can only use a tiny little bit. I think the white/silvery undertones probably aren't the best match for my skin tone, so I have to be careful not to overdo it. I find this one can be a bit difficult to blend in (as in, you can see where it has been applied), but its not a huge issue.

I feel like this colour should be a cream blush or something. This one is the most shimmery of the lot, so as much as I would love to use it a blush, I have to be careful.

I first saw this swatched on Sarah's blog, on her highlighter collection post and I loved how pretty it looked, a unique pinky-gold colour. I chose to buy a travel size, because I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to finish a full sized illuminator anyway! (unless I want to coat myself in it and be an Edward Cullen groupie). This looks super flattering with a pink blush. 

Have you got any of these illuminators? What are your favourite illuminators/highlighters?
