I had my eye on Jubilation for quite sometime before buying it, a demon inside was telling me that I didn’t need another highlighter. I was doing a great job of holding down the spending, until I saw it in the flesh in Liberty. I fell instantly in love and I needed it in my collection – low and behold it was out of stock and it fuelled by obsessed more! I hopped over to John Lewis where they had it in all it’s glory and it was finally mine!
NARS Jubilation is a highlighter duo, which is neatly packed in one handy compact. It arrives in the classic matte black NARS packaging, finished with a white NARS logo. The compact itself is a square, when you lift the lid there’s a handy mirror inside and the compact closes with a magnet. NARS Jubilation features too highlighters, which are both part of the dual-intensity line. This means that they are embossed with the dual-intensity patten and that they offer a silky formulation, which you can use both wet and dry. They are a lightweight texture, which is pigmented in a way that lets you build the finish from something subtle to something high impact. On one side of the compact you have a sparkling yellow gold highlighter, which is great if you’re creating a golden, bronzed look. On the other side there’s a shimmering soft nude peach, which is it’s pink-toned sister, this one is a bit more subtle and suits a whole array of makeup.
For me this highlighter ticks all the boxes, as I switch a lot between more golden highlighters and highlighters that have a more pinky finish. I’ve found that this is a perfect makeup bag companion, especially when I travel, as it offers two different shades in a very compact product. The NARS Jubilation duo is priced at £30, which I actually think is very reasonable, as you get two decent sized blushers, in a very impressive formulation. You can pick it up in all the usual places you find NARS (the NARS website, John Lewis, SpaceNK).
