Rarely have I been so conflicted as to whether I would recommend a certain product as with the Becca x Chrissy Teigen Glow Kitchen Kit. In short, the Glow Kitchen Kit comes with four products—two of which I loved, and two of which I really despised.
If I am being truly honest, it took me quite a few times reading the description of the products online and looking at them in person to figure out what was what (and where each was meant to be used). Easy enough are the Lip Soufflé in Red Velvet and the Confectionary Glow Powder in Cinnamon Sugar. But for the longest time, I assumed the other two products (which profoundly resemble the Tom Ford Cream and Powder Eye Colors) were both eye products, one a cream and one a powder (both with the shade name Cinnamon Churro). That is where I was wrong, apparently, as the cream product is meant to be a face highlighter. The powder shadow is fortunately just a powder shadow. The fact that I used the cream as a shadow and not as a highlighter could be why I disliked it so much, but more on that later. First, I'll crack on with the two products that were truly stellar:
The Lip Soufflé in Red Velvet is one of the best lip products, both in terms of color and texture, that I have used in a long time. It has a light, moussey texture that does not have the oily, greasy quality of many other similar products (like the Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks, for instance). I enjoy that fact immensely. The color is also a beautiful shade that doesn't provide too much pigment (I'm having a big moment with muted, blotted lip colors right now and Red Velvet gives that effect without having to work at it). It wears well, but bear in mind that it never fully sets, so if you are a fan of budge-proof liquid lipsticks, this might not suit you. But for me, it makes Red Velvet far more comfortable to wear for long periods.
The Glow Soufflé Eyeshadow in Cinnamon Churro (powder) is an absolutely gorgeous bronze eyeshadow that works really well as a single wash shadow (my favorite for mornings getting ready to head to the office). Most bronzes pull either too orange or too dark (or both) on my fair, cool toned skin. Somehow, Cinnamon Churro manages to toe the balance of being warm enough to emphasize my blue eyes, without looking garish. It does contain sparkle, but nothing that I would consider as over the top or age inappropriate. It didn't have significant glitter fallout, it blended easily and wore very well over my NARS shadow primer.

Saving the worst (or at least, the most confusing) for last is the Face Highlighter in Cinnamon Churro. Whilst all signs pointed to this being a cream shadow, apparently it's a cream highlighter? I STILL DON'T KNOW. As a cream shadow, this was the absolute worst I have ever used. It creased upon contact (including on top of a primer) and remained tacky. It was also terrible as a base for the powder shadow Cinnamon Churro. So, let's hope Becca indeed did not intend for it to be an eyeshadow.

Ultra blurry because it's a screenshot for a video, but you get the idea of how creasey this cream is on the eye |
