The new NARS Banc De Sable Palette highlighting palette ($49)

OK, to be blunt?as far as I?m concerned, contouring can just go away already and never come back. But highlighting" PLEASE. Highlighting, I beg of you, please stay around forever, because then I?ll be able to keep looking forward to things like the NARS Banc De Sable Palette, or BANK-DUH-SAB-ELLE?
I?m sure I butchered that 100%!
Banc De Sable, a new $49 highlighting palette with three highlighters, arrives March 1 at Sephora and sephora.com, and it?s not your average highlighting palette. These powders have what NARS describes as (insert whispery official voice here) ?water-activated highlighters.?
What?"
Well, they supposedly work with the skin?s surface to create a supernatural glow. Basically" Wet/dry. You can wear them dry for a light sheen or with a wet brush to intensify the shine.

So, the trend over the past few years has been this whole, like, ?OMG! You can see my highlight from space,? and yeah, that?s kind of what I expected from this palette, but to my surprise it?s really? What?s the word" They aren?t toned down or subdued. These definitely aren?t as hush-hush as the Hourglass Ambient Highlighters.
They?re more like, ?Hey! There?s some shine here! But it won?t smack you across the booty.?
And that?s what I like about it. The finish is like that whether you wear it wet or dry.
