LOL Creme Illuminator Review

For Summer, I want my makeup to be more glowing. I have been obsessed with watching dewy makeup tutorials on youtube and I wanted to recreate the same look with the use of highlighters. So, when I came across the LOL stand and saw this cute creme illuminator, I just had to try this out.


PRICE:

 I got this Creme Illuminator for 199 pesos. This has 4 ml of product.

PACKAGING:


The brand Lots Of Love (LOL) has a very cute product line. This illuminator comes in a squeezable tube with a small opening. No messy spills!

SHADE:


This comes in three shades; A white one, an orange one, and a pink one. 

I got the shade '02 The new nude', the orange toned illuminator, over the white illuminator thinking that the lighter one will look too white and fake on me. This shade blends well with my skin tone thus, giving little to none highlight.
I should've bought the white illuminator because, this shade doesn't highlight my face at all. -.-

FORMULATION:


It is thick and creamy. It has a mix of very fine, tiny glitters and some bigger glitters. The bigger glitters are not that bothering. It is just enough to give a little bit of shine

PERFORMANCE:

Without (left)                                              With (Right)

I applied it above my eyebrows, on my cheekbones, on the bridge of my nose, on my cupid's bow and a little on the chin.

There is very little glow and does not catch light enough. It will only reflect light once light is focused on the product.


It is super sticky on the face. The stickiness is really bothering. I always have the urge to set it with powder.
Since I got a shade that matches my face, The illuminator only gives a glow but it does not highlight my face. (I really should've bought the lighter shade)

FINAL VERDICT:

I do not like this because it is super sticky and it has very little glow. I honestly don't know what to do with this product. 

Will I repurchase? No. I would probably try powder highlighters.

Overall I would rate this 1 out of  5

  1. I bought the white and upon trying on my face, it seems that my natural facial oil can give me the more strobe effect than this product. At the same time like you, I'm also bothered by the stickiness of this product so I'm never ever gonna buy this product again.
