Can't believe this was responsible for the whole strobing trend. It doesn't deliver any sort of glow, never mind a strobe effect. My skin felt soft, but then most moisturisers do that for it....

It has a list of quite promising ingredients: plant extracts and green tea etc. I have dry skin and this didn't do much for me. It's quite expensive and I have to say something about this product...

It's a great simple product; adds luminosity to the face, can be used as primer for foundation, mixed with foundation or applied as moisturiser before primer. The product is a bit tacky upon...

I'm shocked to notice I haven't reviewed this marvel yet. I've been using it forever. It transforms any foundation into satiny fresh I-can't-believe-this-is-my-skin finish. It not only gives me...
