I have the Orgasm Illuminator, which is great for a blush-type glow. Got this one because I'm a bronzer/highlighter junkie and OMG, it's wonderful. NC35-ish, dry skin. A few little drops and it adds a dewy, warm glow, no blush needed to look alive and healthy. Sometimes I'll put a little cream blush over it but rarely.
Highly recommended when you're in a hurry. Going on vaca and taking only this one!

Was talked into purchasing this in Space NK when I went to buy the Nars TM. Was a bit expensive I though but it turns out I really like it. It looks terribly dark in the bottle but goes on very sheer. It really warms the complexion and had a nice sparkle. I used it a great deal on holiday when I had a tan but still use occasionally in winter on night to liven up my pale face! I do think its a little over priced but you use so little each time, it will last a long time.

this stuff looks gorgeous on me!!! i'm very very fair, so i do have to blend it well, and a little goes a long way, but it's the prettiest tan glow. i don't think other people would notice it much, but it gives me a healthy, fresh look, especially with the orgasm multiple on top. got it in that gift set, and would definitely buy again-it's beautiful.

WOW. Mixed this with Laura Mercier TM and WOW. Wow. Gives a glow like no other. It makes me feel like I belong in Malibu or some other climate year round. I was worried that it was too orange at first. However, once I added the rest of my makeup and blended neck/chest area, it was perfect. Highly recommended if you are looking for a warm glow. I have only mixed with foundation so far, which is how I plan to use the product.

I originally bought this thinking it would be a good highlight for my skin tone. But when I applied a little to the planes of my cheeks it was to much of a sparkle. So I looked up some other ways that it could be used and tried using it all over my face under my Bobbi Brown liquid foundation. Instead of the glow the product was supposed to give I ended up looking like I had dusted my face with glitter. Needless to say this will be going back to Sephora today.

I had this made into a sample at Sephora after reading the reviews here. Despite having poor ratings, I still wanted to try it. My skin is dry and my skin is very fair. I wear Siberia in Nars (NC 15 is too dark in MAC). VERY FAIR. For me most contouring powders are too dark or too orange. I placed a few dabs of the Laguna Illuminator on the backside of my cheek near my ear and began blending very gently forward, following my contour line. Since this product is very sheer, it was amazing for me. There is not much sparkle at all. I have to say if you are medium toned, this may not show or do anything in terms of contouring. I used so little that the tube will last me forever. I rated this a 4 because it is pricey for what I am going to use it for. I also may not have the multi-purpose use for this product as someone with a darker skin tone would.

I have previously used the monoi plain and shimmer body oils and love the smell, but these solidify when it is cold.
This product is amazing on my skin, on darker skin it will give your body an amazing glow, no need to wear tights and will make any blemishes much less visible! It is not cheap at $45 but it is worth it for the summer months and the tube makes it easy to apply.

Can appear a little too orange and sparkly. The other Illuminators are more sparkly though compared to this one. I do like that it features many natural ingredients. Not super impressed with this one.

I have tried using this product in many different ways and I have decided that it just does not work for me... This is what I have tried: 1. Using it all over as my base. This was too sparkly and gave a muddy look. 2. Using it on top of foundation. It messes up my base and goes on patchy. I do not have this problem with Clinique Up Lighting. 3. Mixed in with the foundation. This blend went on streaky and did not last well. I love NARS, but not the illumnators...

Hugely dissapointed!! I'm a massive fan of Nars and have almost all their blushes and also the Laguna bronzer. I was so excited about it as it looks so pretty in the tube! However it turned out to be nothing like laguna! Didn't show up on my skin at all (I'm medium toned) and just looked like I'd wet my cheek! On top of that it irritated my cheek which has never happened before with any prodcut.Went and exchanged it, was a waste of money for me!
