Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter Duo in Lightning Dust/Fire Crystal.
Freaking finally Fenty Beauty arrived in Italy, I’ve been waiting for this moment, so although this line has been out for a while in the rest of the world and you might have already seen thousands of reviews I still want to do my own.
Fun Fact: I was so convinced I was going to get something completely different from what I ended up buying, I didn’t want a new highlighter and the duos didn’t really appeal me but I swear when I saw this one my heart lost a beat and I fell so in love with it, I’m pretty sure I’ve experienced love at first sight!
You can get it from Sephora for 34$.
PACKAGING
The packaging is absolutely stunning and luxurious I totally love it.
It is this white octagon with a purple iridescence, it comes with a mirror on the inside. It’s not super lightweight but it’s not heavy either and you have all the info in the back, honestly, is so beautiful I’m obsessed.
It comes in a cardboard box with this graffiti effect and baby pink details, I love it too, I usually throw away external packaging but this is so pretty I have to keep it.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
It comes with two shades:
- Lightning Dust (Right): it’s is a light, ivory beige with a pearly sheen. It’s the most delicate one, it’s very smooth and it has a medium, buildable pigmentation. It glides on the skin and looks very natural, without enhancing texture.
- Fire Crystal (Left): it’s a light, yellowed ivory with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It’s definitely stronger and glittery but it’s still very smooth, almost creamy and slightly more pigmented than the other shade, this one enhanced m texture a little bit.
APPLICATION
They layer really beautifully and they are easy to apply with a brush. They blend seamlessly with the skin.
SWATCH
DUPE
I compared Lightning Dust with Benefit Dandelion Twinkle, they are identical, that being said, I think this one it’s a better value for money and I like the packaging better.
LASTING POWER
On me, it lasts around 8 hours without fading.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 9/10
- Formula: 9/10
- Pigmentation: 9/10
- Packaging: 10/10
GRADE: A+
I love this highlighter, it makes you look radiant from the inside, it’s a very natural glow but totally buildable. The formula is amazing and the packaging is absolutely stunning, I love that it’s so versatile, you can adapt the shades and the colours are so beautiful together. I honestly did not think I would like it this much, it literally became a must in my collection and I think that, although it’s not drugstore price, it still has an honest price for the quality.

Ooohhh I love the colours in this highlighter duo!! I’m yet to try anything from the fenty beauty range so maybe this highlighter duo would be a good place to start ? xx
Girl!! You’ll love it ???
I hope so xx
This is one of my favorite highlights! Sometimes I’ll spray some rosewater or setting spray on my brush before applying too. I had no idea you were in Italy either, that’s awesome! There’s a clothing brand from Italy that I love, but shipping to the US is so expensive. Awesome review!
I haven’t tried it wet, it sounds like I need to ? yes I’m born and raised in Rome. What’s the brand? ??♀️??♀️??♀️
It’s called Relish! I found some of their pieces in a little boutique in Killarney Ireland, the women working there showed me the Relish look book and i am OBSESSED now, I only have a t-shirt from them but id love to get more!
Never heard of them to be honest ??? I will definitely see if they have a store near me ?
I have wanted this highlighter for so long! After reading this post I will be sure to pick it up soon x
It’s one of those purchases you won’t regret ??
Ooh, I want to try this! I’ve never tried anything from Fenty Beauty before!
It was the first time for me too. So far, I’m impressed!
Ooh so pretty! I’ve never actually used a highlighter, but I think I need to get one because it looks so good on people. I’m glad to know this is worth the price!
