    The last time I stopped by at the MAC counter, I was given not just one but two sample pots of the Strobe Cream in 'Goldlite'. This lightly perfumed cream has a pearlescent appearance which gives...

    I expected a much harsher product with a name like strobe cream. This would be more aptly named subtle glow moisturizer. It's very pretty. It's a comfortable moisturizer that absorbs well and...

    MAC strobe cream really is bomb. As a moisturizer, it’s pretty fluffy and light-weight, so you can layer it with other moisturizers, or I suppose you could use it by itself, although I haven’t...

    This is the kind you can use every day. It could be a tad too thick for oily skin. But for me it's fine. I'm sure it'd work well on dry skin as well. It moisturizes as it says, and it gives a nice...

    I use this in the peach color for my NW20 skin. I mix a small drop in with my moisturizer, to give a little extra glow, and especially on days when I'm not topping it off with a foundation. My skin...
