Ok, so I know that I'm going to get one of these but I'm just not sure which one is better. I went to Ulta looking for an illuminating powder and these both do that, not to mention it's one of my favorite brands. The Candlelight Glow however is half illuminating powder and the other half is a pink glow. Both don't have many reviews so I can't get my answer there so I figured I'd ask you ladies. If anyone has either of these please let me know how you like it, how it looks, and would you get it again. I'd like to know more about these before I buy!

I LOVE Candlelight GLOW!! I would use it at the counter I use to work at all the time, it goes on so silky and gives a great glow. For some reason the other one would disappear and it doesn't feel as smooth as Candlelight GLOW.

Why I didn't purchase it is because I have so many lol and I need to run out before I go and purchase a highlighter. Also since I'm oily/combo I don't usually use highlighters much. However, I can say that Candlelight was beautiful on my skin---I would sell this product a lot.

I think I am the only person who doesn't like Candlelight Glow. its way too shimmery for my taste and I find it hard to get a small enough amount to make it look natural. however I know I am in the minority as most people I know really like it. I'm just not a fan. didn't work for me at all

I have Candlelight and for me it mimics another highlighter from NARS. Against my skintone it gives a nice glow without looking ashy. I tried the two-toned one and it made me look washed out...according to my hubby so I stopped using it.

Candlelight Glow is a highlighter and Candlelight is an all over face powder. It depends on what you're looking for.

They both seem to have sparkles in it and I don't want to look like a kid gone crazy with glitter. That happens to be what I want though.. just somewhat sparkly if you will. I want a powder I can put on my cheeks for a little dimension. Is one better than the other for this?
And thanks for all your input so far, it really has helped. =)

if you want a powder highlighter I like the Lily Cole one from the body shop, Josie Marian, Mary Luminizer from the Balm or Makeup Forever Shine on all good picks

I've tried the Candlelight one and I like it because it has a little shimmer and warms my face up just enough. But I never really used it as a highlighter. I used it all over. I don't know if the effect would be too subtle for you or not. I feel like for me it wouldn't make much of a difference of I just used it as a highlighter. I would go to a store and play with them both and then compare them. It seems like the glow would be better for adding dimension, if you find the shimmer isn't too much for you. But maybe the candlelight would work differently with your skintone than it did mine lol. 

I ended up going with the original Candlelight Powder and I am pretty happy. It has this really nice shimmer to it with out it being too much or childish looking. I put a light dusting of this over my cheeks to bring out my cheek bones a little bit more and I also apply some to my clavicle to give it a little sparkle. I would recommend this as a light highlighter or as an all over face powder, I'm sure it probably looks amazing during the summer months over a tan. I will be re-buying this come June so I have it for the summer.  =)
