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

These highlighting drops are a new favourite and was surprisingly easy to use. The consistency is thick but very easy to blend onto my makeup for a targeted highlighting effect. I like that it has multiple ways of applying and can be mixed into your foundation or moisturiser for an all over glow, or just used on specific areas over your foundation or moisturizer. I liked that it has small particles that imparts a natural glow and is infused with coconut oil. It has a very light pleasant fragrance that is not bothersome at all. It comes in a 15ml bottle that I'm sure will last me a long time as only a couple of drops are needed at a time and I was a bit concerned that quite a lot of product sticks to the dropper, but I found if you shake it well as instructed, it has a much thinner consistency and easier to use. The packaging is good and easy to use and the price is reasonable for a drugstore product. I would use this again if I run out and found it to be much better than powder highlighters and the fact that it can be used in multiple ways.

What a highlighter!

I love to glow and am a bit of a highlighter addict. I've never tried drops before!

The bottle is like a medicine dropper, you know, Rescue Remedy style. It's cute, and does keep this liquid product mess-free.

You can use these in lots of ways. You can massage them all over your face as a primer, mix them to your foundation for more dewy finish, or just apply them as you would a cream highlight.

The sheen is luminous, it's super pretty, but you can opt for a more subtle look, or full on mega wattage.

Great product, great price. LOVE.

So, this is a product I've never tried before personally. While I've had makeup artists use highlighting products on me, I've never had any at home/used any myself. So I was excited to trial these.

The L'Oreal Paris Wake Up and Glow Mon Amour Highlighting Drops make for the perfect intro to this type of product. I love how versatile they are and played around with them a lot over the past few weeks. The product is quite thick - but not overly thick. Just seems a bit weird that there's a dropper. It seemed to cling to the dropper, rather than get sucked up it so to speak. But that's ok - I could still dispense drop by drop.

How you apply it is really up to you - it is heavily pigmented so you can really experiment. You can use your fingertips and use it direct to highlight your features, you can use a makeup blender, you can apply it direct or add it to other products, like your foundation, moisturiser or primer. I loved adding a drop to my BB cream for a subtle glow during the day, and applying it directly over foundation on targeted areas. It's a great way to get to know and understand highlighting, as you can slowly build up the intensity of it.

The product lasted the day and didn't feel heavy or clogging on my skin. It came off simply with Micellar water, and didn't cause any irritation on my sensitive skin. The simple drop dispenser means this will last quite some time too. A great product I'll be adding to my routine!

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 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.

These drops are very versatile - you can use it by itself in a traditional highlighter manner, or add them to your base products; primer, foundation or even moisturiser, to add extra luminosity to your look.

The dropper bottle is lovely and practical. The highlighter is a great medium consistency, not to runny, nor too thick (I'm not a fan of cream products)

I'm quite fair and I found the shade just a touch pink for it to be my perfect highlight, but when used as a mixer they were a great illuminator for my skin.

Another great product from Loreal!

In the past, I have not been the biggest fan of liquid highlighter and would rather opt for powder. This, however, was a great product to push me out of my comfort zone and I am now converted to the liquid highlighter way of life.

I decided to try these out in a few different ways. I added them to my primer to create a glowy base before foundation and this gave me a subtle glow throughout the day.

The next day I added them to my Fenty foundation for more of a glow. I was really happy it did not change the way the foundation applied and wore throughout the day. This is something I was most worried about. My partner even commented on how nice my make up looked on this day too!

Next, I used them as a traditional highlighter across the tops of my cheeks. A tiny amount on my damp beauty blender created a stunning glow that blended in seamlessly with my blush. By using the beauty blender I avoided that striped look that some times happen.

This a beautiful product that can be used as a variety of ways. It's a little messy if you are not careful so have a facecloth or makeup wipe on hand.

I really enjoy this. I usually place it on the tops of my cheeks and a little in my nose and above my brows and tap in with my finger. You'd think it would be quite bold but it's more of a lovely glow once it's tapped in.
