Dewy skin is the ultimate craze
right now and it’s a trend that I’ve been in love with since highlighters
started selling out. Not only is it a current trend, but I think it’ll be an ongoing
feature almost every make-up lover includes in their daily routine just because
of how it much it can add to the most simplistic of looks. I love using cream
highlighters particularly for every day wear, to create a subtle, “glow from
within” kind of look – as sometimes I feel powder highlighters can be a little
heavy on my dry-normal complexion. Liquid luminisers can add that healthy,
radiant glow especially now during the colder weather when my skin can look a
little dull. Not too long ago I was offered some gorgeous, radiance-perfect
products to try: the Algenist
REVEAL Concentrated Luminizing Drops * and the Algenist
Hydrating Setting Mist *, which I jumped at the chance to sample!
I want to start off by saying
that these drops come in the most elegant, frosted glass bottles that simply
scream luxury. The bottles have thick glass to showcase the glimmering solution
inside, with a metal top and a rubber dropper applicator. When it comes to displaying
beautiful makeup products on your dresser, these little beauties are perfect
for that!
The drops promise that, as well
as the added benefit of correcting and treating uneven skin tone, they will
provide long-term anti-aging benefits to skin – whilst nourishing the skin and
reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. My drops came in two
stunning shades: Champagne (containing gold pigments) and Rose (containing pink
pigments). Although I’m typically drawn to rose-tone beauty products, which I
find more flattering for my complexion, the drops melt so beautifully in to the
skin and create such a delicate, subtle glow that I have been using both shades
interchangeably and find them equally as flattering. Although I do prefer to
use champagne in the evening and the rose tone in the day time for a more
natural look.
I like to use these drops on the
top of my finished makeup, concentrating on the highs of my cheekbones, inner
corners of my eyes, my browbone, a little on the tip of my nose and sometimes a
touch on my cupid’s bow, by placing a few drops on the back of my hand and
using my ring finder to pat the product gently into my skin. The formula feels
really light and weightless for a beautiful luminous finish without any visible
glitter or shimmer, creating a really elegant look. What I truly love about
this product is that it settles wonderfully over the top of foundation without
moving product underneath; nor does it settle into my fine lines or accentuate
my pores. The finish is a natural, lit-from-within glow; coverage lasting
throughout the day without needing to reapply. You can buy this beauty for £22
with Lookfantastic.
As a sufferer of dry skin &
eczema, any kind of hydrating mist is welcomed every single time. So I really
couldn’t wait to try this one out. Not only is this product a setting mist, but
it’s also a hydrating serum. I have to say I’ve never heard of a mist like this
be such a unique, 2-in-1 product. The bottle itself is a simple, sophisticated
clear bottle which emphasises quite a clinical beauty look, which is just the
image most of us look for when we’re discovering new skin-focused products.
Considering the product is a
serum formula, I wondered if it may be a little heavy on the face – however I couldn’t
have been more wrong. The consistency is lightweight and gentle on the skin,
coming out as a very fine mist, which smells incredibly fresh. It’s also not
too wet or overwhelming on the face and only takes a few seconds to settle in.
The added benefit of the bottle of that it doesn’t dispense too much product,
so it lasts for ages! After a month of using it, my bottle looks untouched,
which I’m really impressed with.
I choose not to use this spray at
night because I already have my abundance of special prescription creams and
lotions and potions which are delegated for my nightly routine and I don’t like
to mess with that. However, this mist is always used on the top of my makeup in
the mornings; providing that instantly-refreshed feeling and finishing off your
dewy look. The retail price for this £28 and it can be found at Space
NK.
