Hello again,
which one of these is your favourite? Or are they very similar?
I have Highbeam in my cart which I was thinking would be nice to use as a highlighter but it looks quite sheer, so am also looking for a peachy shade with more depth of colour to use on my lid on lazy make up days when I want a bit of polish with minimum effort!! (PS I have tried Sandy but it looked a bit too pale pink on me).
I have green eyes and dark brown hair with light/medium skin tone (just trying out my 1st SN foundation sample kit & *think* my match is 9 ivory medium coverage : 1 warm gold : 1 buttery gold) if that helps you any with your recommendation.
Thank you in advance!!

Re: Sandstone Shimmer, Cabana or Highbeam?
Kitten, I use all 3, but if I had to pick one, hands down it would be Highbeam. I often use it as a wash & only add a deeper accent color on < > ~ Sandstone Shimmer is much more subtle, Cabana's a stronger color. Highbeam is versatile & can be a highlight shade or allover wash....the color is aptly named!

Again, I find myself agreeing with Mikie! Highbeam is my first choice of the three, too!

Re: Sandstone Shimmer, Cabana or Highbeam?
Highbeam and sandstone shimmer are very very similar. Highbeam is much sparklier and quite gold. Sandstone shimmer is a bit more subtle, and is my lazy can't-be bothered colour, because it's not too bright or too sparkly. Cabana is good if you want something bolder.
Really they are all very wearable. I'm also dark brown hair, green eyes, and warm, (very very) light skin, And i wear them all.
...So actually i'm not helpful at all.

Well based on Mikie & JenW's reccommendatons I have gone for Highbeam to start with - just placed the order a few minutes ago, but am sure I will end up getting both Sandstone Shimmer & Cabana next time because I looove peachy shades and it's great to hear that someone with my colouring likes them too.
Thanks again!
