little white truths

I received this product last year in Lust Have It's Bridal Party Box (RRP $50), a good-value package that contains:

You can see the whole luminous thing happening above : ). The only thing I'll say about this is that, while finely milled, the glitter particles are noticeable if you look closely enough. I'd prefer a sheen, rather than little dots. But these aren't the most noticeable bits of glitter I've seen.

Verdict

I'd say this product does live up to its claims, although I'm not sure how it protects skin from the environment. It adds a beautiful, sheer sheen, is nice and runny (so you don't end up applying it too thickly) and does the job well.

I wouldn't wear it alone though, at least on my face - I reckon you'd look too shiny. I add some to my primer and put foundation or BB cream over the top for one of those fabled 'lit from within' glows. It has good staying power and the tube will last ages because you only need a little to get the desired effect.

I also put some on my collarbones for definition, and in summer I apply it to the tops of my shoulders and maybe my legs too. Just for fun : )

As mentioned, while this isn't the best illuminator I've tried, it's certainly a decent one for the price. I might look out for sales and see if I can pick up the bronze colour in future. 

Ticks from me!

Do you have a favourite liquid illuminator?
