The Super 'O' Glow - NARS Illuminator

"RADIANT. SHIMMERING. SEDUCTIVE"

No I am not talking about myself in those three words; I am talking about NARS Illuminators! :)

"NARS Illuminators are a collection of light-reflecting liquids that glide on to refresh the skin, enhance the complexion and create a shimmering incandescence". These great multi-use illuminators come in the shades Laguna, Orgasm, Copacabana and Super Orgasm. 

♥ Silky, shimmering highlighters that create instant radiance and luminosity

♥ The translucent weightless formula makes skin look glowing and refreshed

♥ Flattering on all skins and dermatologist tested
♥ Can be worn alone or mixed with moisturizer, primer or liquid foundation to provide a subtle luminescence!

I have the NARS Illuminator in the shade 'Super Orgasm'...

Super Orgasm is a gorgeous peachy liquid infused with gold shimmers to give you a dewy glow.
The illuminators are not marketed as a blusher so don't expect it to look like the Orgasm blush (which is one of my all-time-fave beauty products). The illuminators are very blend-able so can be used all over the face and even on the body. I think it looks absolutely stunning on the cheekbones, collar bone and your decollate for a sexy, chic look.

It may seem quite pigmented at first swatch, but don't worry it blends out very easily once on your cheeks! One quick tip: Give the tube a little shake to make sure it is all blended before applying.

A tiny bit of this illuminator goes a long way so the 30ml tube will last you ages. 

I like to apply this with my fingertips by patting a small amount of Super Orgasm onto my cheek bones, and bring it downward for a radiant, healthy glow. Or I mix mix a small dot into my foundation to add instant warmth with a slight shimmer to my complexion. 

NARS Illuminators are available online here or at your local NARS counter at £22 for 30ml. 

Do you have any of the NARS Illuminators and if so how do you like to wear yours? xoxo

Way to Glow #

A gorgeous glowing complexion is a beauty desire for many of us girls. Especially in these cold winter months when your skin is not in the glowing mood all on its own. Therefore we can all do with a little help from beauty products to achieve beautiful radiant skin.I have tried a few products over the years (one of my favourites is Benefit High Beam; review here) and think it’s quite hard to find a product that gives you the right amount of glow without messing up your foundation or leaving a glittery mess behind on your cheekbones. But I recently discovered this gorgeous compact by Collection 2000 and I just love it!Their Shimmer Shades compact in Way to Glow contains four merged blocks that combine shimmer with shade for a multi-tonal and natural blend of colour. The combination of shimmering peach and golden bronze shades instantly lifts and illuminates your skin. On the left are swatches of each individual block and on the right the bronzed glow it provides when blended together. The Way-to-Glow compact also contains a skin-brightening formula to enhance natural skin colour so be prepared to dazzle! ;)

For my perfect radiant glow I work product from all four colour cubes into a bronzing brush and sweep it lightly over my cheekbones. For an overall sun-kissed look you can also apply the shimmery shades to your brows bone, forehead and neckline.
Plus I've used the individual peach shade as a blusher on the apples of my cheek sometimes too!

For only £3.99 I think this product is a STEAL!!! You can buy it from your local Boots or Superdrug.
What do you think, do you like my my 'way to glow' this winter? xoxo
