    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....

    My favorite way to wear this is mixed with concealer to sheer it out + add a glow to it. It's a light white cream with a pinky peach opal finish, it's very sheer and mixes perfectly into liquid...

    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...
