Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in Spellbound

Hey guys,

Today I am going to be reviewing the Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in Spellbound from the Dark Spell collection.

What Laura Mercier says about this product :

What I think about this product:

First of all the packaging is simple and classy. 

The product itself has a beautiful satin scrunched look. 

The texture is creamy and blends like a dream. 

The colour of the highlighter is a rose gold with a shimmer which is not glittery.

 For lighter skin tones this can work as a blush as it has some colour, but for darker skin tones, only as a highlighter.

Since it has warm undertones, it suits cooler and warmer skin equally.

It lasted about 7 hours on me and then faded evenly.

It retails for $60 in Australia and $42 in the US. I bought mine from Myer.

I think this is a gorgeous product for those who are looking for a highlighter that works on all skin tones. I must warn you this is limited edition so pick one up before it sells out.

Till next time,

❤
