Annabelle insomnia collection review: Dome Face Powder, Nox

For whatever reason, I’m just not feelin’ the whole “structure” thing today… this may have been influenced by the timbits and s’mores. But, on the other hand, maybe it’s just a coincidence! (Or maybe the two have a mutual cause, even.)

Anyhow: the product in Annabelle’s insomnia collection that had everyone flustered is none other but the product we’re reviewing today, the new Dome Face Powder. It comes in one shade, Nox, which is a shimmery, light highlighter.

Nox is neutral enough to be worn with any undertone, warm or cool; sheer but not so sheer that it will for-sure work on all skintones — some people with darker tones can pull off light, shimmery highlighters, but not everyone’s a fan of the effect. (I find that the darker you are in terms of tone, the more obvious off-white highlighters are.)

Personally, while I think that Nox is a lovely sight in the pan, I’m not a huge fan of the product itself: it delivers a shimmer that’s much chunkier than I prefer. I do advise you to take this with a grain of salt, though; I like my shimmer very, very finely milled! However, no matter how large you like your shimmer, I’m giving a huge “NO!!!” to Annabelle’s recommendation that you wear over your entire face.

(Unless you’ve secretly always wanted to be a disco ball?)

Overall, at $11 for a domed highlighter, Nox isn’t a terrible buy. However, if I could only buy one thing from this collection, it wouldn’t be this. We’ll be reviewing the lipstick and quads shortly – and already have the Glitterama liner reviews up here – and this (thankfully) pales next to the rest of the products!

Nox is more than fine for indoor wear and great for parties, but it tends to  turn me into a glitterball in the sunlight. A little like…

Try it if:

  • You like slightly chunkier glitter,
  • You’ve always wanted a domed face powder, but MAC’s MSFs are too pricy for you at $33.50, or
  • You want a highlighter to paaarty with, but not wear to the office!
