Add a bit of glow but I could easily live without it!

I got this on sale for around R50. Unfortunately the only shade on sale was the lightest 01 (which looks white in the tube). I say unfortunately, because I think the tinted ones are better for blending with the skin tone.

I normally use it on top of my moisturiser and before foundation. It does add a bit of glow. It is not sparkle though, as there is a big difference between the two. However I find that this particular shade almost adds a bit of silver cast to my complexion and I am not the greatest fan of that. I still use it now and again to finish the tube but it is not something that has enhanced or improved my makeup routine and look. Beware that it might also make you pores look bigger! I can't say I could wear this on its own. It would look too weird on me!

I was a bit sceptical when i first got this product but was very surprised at the results. Not much completion on the market for this product though - would like to see more of this on the selves. I use this when I am to lazy to wear and apply foundation but still wants to look lovely and well put together. Wash face - apply moisturiser - then the glow enhancer - mascara and lip gloss. It gets adsorbed into your skin and doesn't feel like there's a layer on your face or feel like your skin is suffocated by a foundation. Feels very light and fresh. A good way to give your skin a holiday from all the make-up. The only way I can explain the feeling is healthy. It makes your skin look soft, healthy and young. I will definitely try and use it on my eye lids like one of the reviews suggested and comment - sounds like a lovely idea. Stunning product - have recommend it to my friends and they loved it to - so now its your turn.

This product will give you a stunning natural glow. I use it on my cheeks and it makes my skin look healthy.

Considering the size of the tube and the price, I cant really complain as I didnt need to use a lot (a little goes a long way). So I find it quite affordable as I wouldnt use so much, it should last me the whole summer.

I've been on a mission to find products that provide a glow lately! I visited my local Body Shop to try out their offering and wasn't altogether impressed which saddened me as I simply adore all the Body Shop products.

I tried the 3rd colour which is the darkest and their wasn't much a glow. When you apply it onto your face there's a subtle enhancement that doesn't last. It made my skin feel very soft and it looks very dewy afterwards which I do like. I'll just use this as a tinted moisturiser and then apply bronzer afterwards for a summer glow as this doesn't work as a stand alone product.

It retails for R110 however the tube is quite small so I imagine it would only last for 1 month.
