    I consider this in between a moisturizer & a highlighter. So far, I'm thrilled. It's very light, not greasy feeling or thick, very fluffy textured, which especially here in FL in the summer, is a...

    The MA at the MAC counter told me that having a slight luminiscent glow to the face gives the illusion of youth when compared to a matte face. I'm glad I listened to her. I mixed my foundation...

    So far so good. Gives nice subtle sheen to the face, but don't overuse or it will look too shimmery. A great very moisturizing cream for night time use. However, my face did look a bit red after...

    This is my first highlighter. It provides a very subtle glow which is more apparent in the light. It left my skin extremely silky smooth and provides a great base for blushes. The best part was it...
