About a month or so ago, I panned Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Blush (reviewed here).
I had been on the hunt for the Butter Highlighter, but couldn’t find it and thought that the two would be close to equivalent. No way.
In spite of my experience with the Butter Blush, I found the Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Highlighter at CVS recently and gave it a try. Glad I did!
It has the same wonderful coconut scent that the Butter Blush has, and it has the same amazing, spreadable texture. This stuff is buttery heaven! Not a powder. Not a cream. But a soft cream-to-powder similar to the consistency of the ColourPop original eye shadows: softish and bouncy but not a true cream.
And that’s where the similarity to the failed Butter Blush comes to an end. Unlike the Butter Blush that had little to no pigmentation, the Butter Highlighter has just the right amount of pigmentation IMHO. At this age, I can’t do too much shine or glitter, and Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter doesn’t go overboard. One swipe and it catches the light and gives me a pretty glow.
It comes in four shades: rose gold, pink, champagne, and pearl. I bought pink, and it is super pretty – though I probably should have branched out and bought pearl since I already own about 5 pink highlighters.
If you want to add a restrained but beautiful glow or outright bling to your holiday looks, pick up Physician Formula Murmuru Butter Highlighter. The highlighters also make great stocking stuffers. Cruelty-free and gluten-free. Available widely at Ulta and drugstores where prices vary. 0.17 oz./5 g for $10.98 on the Physicians Formula website.

WOWZA! Is that ever gorgeous, and what a huge difference from the blush that you tried! Ok, I’m convinced! I need to get one! Than you for the gorgeous swatches!
Yes, you do, Helen! So soft and buttery and just sparkly enough
I’m still waiting for this to come in store where I work! So many have asked me about this but as always Canada is way behind in new launches. 🙁
They’re worth waiting for, Shireen. I hope they come in before Christmas because they are a perfect stocking stuffer.
This is such a pretty color. I’m glad it’s a big improvement on your last PF buy.
For sure! This one’s a winner!
I want these so bad but iHerb doesn’t have them yet 🙁
I hope iHerb will get them soon. They’re worth waiting for!
I think these are so pretty!
Oooh, I’d love the try the rose gold!
5 pink highlighters?! Do TELL! I have the hardest time finding pink. I probably have enough now, but it took me awhile to find pink. I bought this one recently and haven’t had a chance to use it yet.
I think you’ll like the Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter – the coconut scent, the buttery consistency and just the right amount of bling – for me at least!
I am so glad you decided to give it a try after having a negative experience with the blush. These are a dream to work with, and I am currently rocking the pink one on my cheeksies 🙂
Glad to hear the pigmentation and formula were good. I find PF to be hit or miss, but I do love their face powders!
That packaging is so gorgeous!

Tamanna, I am embarrassed to say that I still own the Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Highlighter that I bought literally a million years ago. It hasn’t spoiled, and it’s still usable though I can’t remember when I used it last. Yet I can’t throw it away!
