Review:

This brand is one of my OG faves from when I first started Indie Mood! Their products are so colorful and interesting, the packaging is beautifully designed, and I love the fact that they’re inspired by global destinations. I owned a few single eyeshadows and highlighters before, but during Black Friday I purchased their Around the World highlighter.. because I needed that lavender shade.. and that yellow shade.. and the pinks.. I just needed it.

That packaging is just stunning. 10/10 on the design aspect of this brand! Here is the description of the palette from Nomad’s site:

Face, eye and body Light Infusion Palette with the perfect spectrum of four buttery and super-blendable illuminating shades. 2 Highlighting Blushes and 2 Illuminators that combine ultra-fine, rich color pigments and multi-dimensional, prismatic pearls for a colorful glowing effect.

All four of these were colors I didn’t have in my collection, which just added to the appeal of this beautiful palette. I’ve used all four, and I love them all. The lavender, peach, and yellow shades make gorgeous highlighters that give an ethereal, out of the ordinary glow. They aren’t overwhelmingly blinding, they give a more soft and glowing from within look. The hot pink shade is interesting, because it would to shiny as a blush, but as a cheek topper, it gives a flushed, dewy glow. I love the formula of these because they’re so seamless and seem to melt into the skin, they don’t bring out texture at all and have a really luminous finish.

Here are some looks I did with the palette:

All in all, I really love this brand. Their creative vision is inspiring and I love how they stay true to themselves. Also, their customer service is amazing, and the brand owners are very nice people! I had the pleasure of meeting them at Ipsy Generation Beauty in October, and they were the sweetest. I can’t wait to see what they come out with next!
