Though it's always lovely to be sent exactly the thing you want where's the challenge in that? When I first saw these two I thought I'd try them once and then formulate and opinion as neither would really suit my skin tone but, though I think Cosmic Dancer is probably the right colour for me I have worn the other two a lot. Polka Dots & Moonbeams probably does need skin darker than mine to show up - for those who want a silver-y highlight but Sway is a really pretty way to add a bit of bronzey shimmer to my pale skin and in fact is probably the most universal colour even though it looks scary.

The price is a little steep considering you can get highlighters from pretty much every brand nowadays - you get 5g of product in great packaging so one illuminator should last you a long time. They aren't going to dry out and they shouldn't break.
I think these illuminators look particularly pretty on the cupids bow, they are subtle and blend well so it doesn't look overdone. Sway would look lovely as an eye base. These are great for lovers of ethical beauty and/or cream highlighters. I just wish they were easier to get hold of in the UK - they aren't cheap and it would be lovely to try these before you bought them, that being said I will be saving up for Cosmic Dancer.
