MAC Strobe Cream Review

I was given a travel kit with this inside and as there were no instructions on the bottle I initially thought this was a liquid highlighter. I did a bit of research and discovered it’s more of a moisturiser which enhances one’s glow. I have oily skin so end up looking very matte with all the mattifying products I use. I’m not sure if this is more of a primer but as a moisturiser it’s really nice. It gives me a nice glow although it does have tiny flecks of shimmer but they are very small and just seem to melt into the skin. My skin stayed hydrated and radiant through out the day and didn’t seem to increase my oil production. The only thing that puts me off is the price, it’s around $70 for a full size and even though it’s a nice product I would rather invest in a decent moisturiser or primer. I find after using this for a few days consecutively my pores become clogged so best saved for days when you want that extra radiance.

I love this cream so much that I've repurchased 3 times! I use it alone for a moisturizing glow or use it as a primer for a glowy base for foundation. I have normal skin but get a bit oily in my Tzone at the end if the day, this cream doesn't accentuate my oily spots.

I don’t really get this product. Is it moisturiser or luminiser? Or is it both? Looking on the Mac website I was still none the wiser. So when I got a deluxe mini of this in a Mecca loop box I wasn’t really sure what to do with it. I’m still not sure after using it. I was hoping it would do for no make up days but I find this a bit much to use alongside my sunscreen so it has just languished in my bathroom cabinet. It tends to make my look greasy (I have normal skin) rather than glossy I don’t get the hype with this so I wouldn’t purchase it.
