Glowy from MAC

I brought this last year. Its pretty pricey for the amount of product you get, And although i absolutely love the way it looked on my skin and the sheen it gave through my faoundation.It makes you skin look super glowy, healthy but natural. It doesnt give that glittery sheen, its very natural. My problem with the product is that i dont think its suited to oily skin :( unfortunately it broke my skin out pretty bad. I gave it away to a freind (who has normal skin) and she absolutely loved it! so personally it didnt work with my oily skin. but for a normal or dry skin i think id be great for you if you like that dewy finish.

Tips: You can apply it as a base or mix it in with your foundation for a more glowy effect. I would suggest its not really for an oily skin type (or it may just be me ) try get the travel size first and give that ago before spending that much on the full size only to find its not right for you

Love, love but that smell! ;) haha

Omg I feel like Greek goddess with this on, it highlights my face a little and brightens up my face. The only issue I have with this product is that smell! You can't smell it after 2 minutes of having it on so it's no big deal but every time I get a whiff ! It grosses me out haha. Other than that love this product, it gives me a bit more moister as my skin has been super dry! Lately :( lol

Tips: I apply with hands, I think it's just easier. But I have seen some people apply with a clean paddle foundation brush along with their primer. It's really upto YOU! Personal preferences :) xx

A lil disappointed to be honest..

Being obsessed with glow I needed this product in my life badly.. So I finally brought myself a tube!

First thoughts.. I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be.. Don't get me wrong I love this product as a moisturizer worn alone.. I think it looks wonderful on the skin.. I also didn't get the whole.. Little bit goes a long way thing people were talking about.. I actually need quite a few generous quirts to get this over my face.. And that smell? So not appealing!

I also have to disagree with the claims of it being amazing mixed in with make up or in with your base.. I don't think its the all rounder people have made it out to be.. The people who sing its praises have obviously not tried the amazingness of illuminating serums blended in with foundation..

So my verdict is.. Great for skin care.. No make up days need this product! Make up days.. Nah, you can do so much better!

Hydrating and luminous

Definitely worth the price! A little goes a long way and it gives your skin such a lovely, natural and healthy glow. Personally I like to use it on cold dull days or when my skin needs a pick me up to brighten it up

Tips: After you apply it, give it time to set on your skin otherwise when you apply your foundation it will just slide all over the place

Not worth the price but avarage

I liked the cream but it didn't look good on my face and it didn't seem good for price as I can get something exactly the same for cheaper from loreal. Everyone thinks it's amazing but honestly the only thing it did was make my face yucky and it didn't agree with my makeup at all. But then again everyone has preferences :)

Great for a luminous finish

This isn't really an everyday product (for me anyway) but I like to use it when my skin is pretty dry or dull looking. Im not sure how it photographs , but it looks really luminous in person. I wear it in place of moisturiser and under foundation. I don't think it would suit very oily skinned girls but for combo or dry skin, it is great because it smooths out dry patches and gives you a dewy look.

Love to prime!

I absolutely love to prime! And am always on the hunt for that new primer that does it all! I think I have found it! Firstly this really does smell beautiful, a light fresh scent, it smooths onto the skin beautifully, spreads out evenly and knowing it has added benefits such as vitamins and antioxidants is a bonus! But most importantly my makeup looks really even, smooth, slightly dewy, and just perfect! Recommend others to try, even if it is jst a sample and see how you like it first. I have oily skin but i don't notice that this gives any real difference to my skins appearance in respect to oiliness.

Feel the glow

I couldn't love this product any more if I tried! It's a hydrating, thickish, creamy consistency that immediately illuminates and brightens the skin. I use this underneath my foundation as a primer because i'm not oily, I don't have to use an oil control. It's adds a subtle but stunning glow under foundation and keeps my skin hydrated all day.

Dewy Goodness

I love Strobe cream under a Matte Foundation. It gives that Demi Matte feel. I enjoy how it shines through my foundation and give me a glow. The smell isn't Amazing and that would be the only thing that I don't like about it!
