L'Oreal Paris Wake Up and Glow Mon Amour Highlighting Drops Review

I decided that what better way to get a review for a product than to share it with 8 other women as we got ready for our Christmas party. I had already been using it a few days to highlight my cheeks for work and it absolutely does what it says - gives you a glow. Everyone loved it with the biggest attractions being it was so easy to apply and you needed very, very little of it - a couple of drops each side was plenty. Great value for money. It is a very liquid consistency so you don't really need the dropper as there is plenty of liquid on the outside of the dropper itself. Its a very cool twist on old fashioned blusher.

I received this product in the shade 01 Spairking Love as part of a BR trial. I really enjoyed using this product- the dropper-like bottle meant I could control how much product I used, the glitter was very fine and the product applied smoothly onto the skin. The glitter was concentrated but not overly shiny, when I applied directly to the corner of my eyes it brightened the eye area without having conspicuous shiny flakes. When I mixed this with my foundation, my skin looked more radiant than usual. Overall, this is the best illuminating product I have used (and I have tried a few) and I am looking forward to mixing this into my skincare or other foundations year round to subtly brighten my face.

This product really confused me. I had to look it up on the L'Oréal site to understand how to use it. I applied it blended with make up, on top, underneath, and with a base of moisture only. None of the application techniques worked for me, I didn't see as much of a shimmer as I expected and was left with a oily feeling on my skin.

I don't think I would use this again on my face as the oil slick, wet shimmer result was just gross. However I will try it mixed with moisturiser on my body for a golden dawn glow and see how that works.

Love the bottle, super classy, and the dropper is a great idea as a little goes a long way.

There are some well known highlighting products out there (e.g. Benefit, Mac) that do some amazing things. I was skeptical that this could live up to these other more well known products and I have to admit it's a really good (and cheaper!) alternative. The glow is pretty and enough that you can tell you've got something on. The gold shade may not suit all skin tones, however I find it works great on the inner corner of your lids too.

I don't use liquid highlighters, and have never tried to get a glowy look. However, I received this product in a trial so I decided to give it a go.

I put a drop on under my liquid foundation and left my skin lovely, dewy and glowy. I did look slightly more oily than usual so I had to blot with powder to ensure I wasn't too shiny. I noticed throughout the day that the high points of my face did look shiny and highlighted.

This amazing product came in a recent beauty box from BBBE. And I love it! It is the first time I'd heard of highlighting drops.

The product is pinky and pale and watery in a dropper top bottle. The dropper isn't much use to be fair, as the product clings to the dropper itself so I slide it off with my finger to apply it to my skin. While none of that sounds ideal exactly, the product is awesome and makes my skin look dewy and fresh. It sits on top of whatever other makeup I have on, without moving anything and I feel like it makes me look awake and healthy.

I will certainly be buying more when it runs out, and it has lasted for ages already.

I very highly recommend it. Very highly.

I've really got into my contouring and highlighting, but have struggled to find a highlighter that gives me that really strobed look. So when I saw these highlighting drops, I was keen to get my hands on some concentrated looking highlight.

I love the bottle, it looks like expensive liquid gold and I'd love me some liquid gold.

In terms of performance, it actually isn't as concentrated as you think because it gets blended in, but it does have a luminous glow.

I also mix it in with foundation or primer sometimes to create a subtle dewy glowing look when I'm wanting that and only have more matte products on hand.

So there is versatility and glow, but I'm still looking for the highlight that strikes just right.

L'Oreal Paris Wake Up & Glow Mon Amour Highlighting Drops in 'Sparkling Love' are an iridescent champagne coloured liquid, packaged in a generous 15ml glass bottle with a dropper applicator.

These highly pigmented liquid illuminator drops contain shea butter and coconut oil, and they blend seamlessly into foundation or on bare skin.

The drops can be used in a number of ways:  they can be used on bare skin for a no make-up look; two drops can be used all over for a radiant glow, or one drop in targeted areas (like on the cheekbones); the drops can be applied on their own over foundation, or mixed into foundation, primer, or moisturiser before being applied; and they can be blended with a beauty blender or with fingers.  I applied mine with my fingers and they were really easy to blend with a light tapping motion.

I don't even think I needed one full drop to apply it to my cheekbones, on top of my foundation.  Half a drop (or a light tap of the finger to the side of the dropper worked), and the 15ml bottle is going to last ages!

My first impression was, "Wow, this is really shimmery." But once it had been blended, all that was left was a beautiful, light reflective glow.

I really do like these drops.  They're a multi-purpose item, a little goes a long way, and they do help to brighten a dull or tired looking complexion, while also reflecting light and acting as a highlighter.  I'd definitely recommend these to someone who is looking for a fantastic highlighting product. 

I don't have much experience with liquid highlighter, but I do love my highlighting powder and even when I'm doing light makeup I ALWAYS do a little highlighter to brighten up my face!

I was super excited to try this one, it looks so absolutely gorgeous in the bottle and has a great little dropper to apply to the face. I tend to go for a more dewy look, and figured this would also really help achieve a natural dewy glow. At first I thought I put too much on, and felt it was a little streaky, but once I spent some time really patting it into my upper cheek with my finger tips, I really saw the end result. I have never had a glow like that with powder before, it was the perfect dewy summer glow that I've been craving my whole life! What a winner of a product! The shade was great, and a little goes such a long way, I would absolutely purchase again but who knows when I'll ever run out?! I think I will be wearing this A LOT this summer, and it can definitely be built on for a night time look, or as I said, kept subtle for a day time glow. I will certainly experiment with this more, maybe even add it to some foundation for an all over shimmer.

If you're on the fence about liquid highlighter, I would highly suggest grabbing this as a start, or as your new holy grail. This is truly a beautiful product.

I was lucky to get on the Beauty Review trial for these Highlighting drops. The glass bottle is quite cute. Fits in the palm of my hand. It has a shiny, rose gold top with a white grip tip, which looks like an ink dropper. (Sounds weird, but it looks cute.) You can see the highlighting drops liquid through the tiny glass bottle. It looks like shiny, nail polish liquid in a pale, light colour that glistens. The shade is 01 Sparkling Love and there's 15ml of Glow Mon Amour in the little bottle.

The lid is easy to twist off and when you do so, the ink dropper is covered in the highlighter drops which has a similar consistency and look to nail polish. It has a slight fragrance which is pleasant. It's not too strong, it's a subtle scent. I tested this out on my hand first by squeezing the dropper tip and then swatched it on my hand. It came out as a 'drop' then I rubbed it across my skin on my hand. The swatch looked a shiny, pearl-like colour. I have olive toned skin so this shade was lighter when applied to my skin but once it's rubbed it, it does highlight. It is Metallic and when I moved my hand, I could see it shimmering. I rubbed it in more and it blended in good with my skin.

I first tried this as part of my morning make up routine. After I washed my face and moisturised I applied Glow Mon Amour.

The dropper tip is easy to use. A few drops on different areas of my face was enough. You don't need a lot. Just highlight areas where the light hits your face naturally. The drops are cool to the touch when they drop onto your skin. I used my blender sponge to dab it in. It absorbed into my skin and I could see it was metallic and shimmery. After that, I applied a light coat of light Thin Lizzy 6-in-1 mineral powder all over my face lightly. Areas of my cheekbones, nose, chin and on the side of my forehead were highlighted and looked glowy. When I looked in the mirror and tilted my face in different directions. I could see Glow Mon Amour luminating parts of my face.

The next couple of days, I tried these highlighter drops, doing the same in my makeup routine each morning. During the day, I got compliments from my family that I was 'glowing'. I like the glow look it gives although, I probably won't be using Glow Mon Amour every day. I would recommend using these if you're having date night or Girl's night or got an event to get glammed up for or, if you like to put on full make up every day. They do make your skin glow though. I would say, less is more and one bottle would probably last awhile.

I will be continuing to use Glow Mon Amour and see how it goes until this product is empty. I don't think I would purchase myself as I'm more of a moisturiser and powder foundation gal but I will be recommending to my friends who are into face highlighters.
