NYX Cosmetics Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator

I am all about liquid highlighter and when you throw some NYX in the mix, I am a fan! When I first saw the new Spring 2013 Collection from NYX Cosmetics, I knew it was going to be good! This product proves my prediction right because it is simply fabulous! NYX was kind enough to send me the Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator for my review and evaluation and here are my thoughts.

Only until recently, I felt a bit awkward about liquid highlighter. How do I use it? What do I use to apply it with? To me...it was too much thought and I couldn't be bothered. With the right tools, liquid is truly the way to go if you want a glowing appearance. The NYX Born to Glow Illuminator is meant to give you a "healthy goddess glow", and it does just that!

NYX Born to Glow Illuminator comes in Sunbeam, a gorgeous pale pink pearl shade; and Gleam, a golden peach pearl. In this blog post, I am featuring Gleam, but let me set the record straight and admit that I will be picking up Sunbeam as soon as I see it in stores! I saw Sunbeam when I was at the NYX Cosmetics Spring 2013 Launch Event and I need it in my life!

The texture of this product is cream, lightweight and dries beautifully, giving you a glowing finish. I personally like to take the product, squeeze some onto the back on my hand and apply it with a beauty blender to my cheek bones, forehead and chin. You can also use a duo-fibre brush, like the Sigma Beauty, F55 Small Duo Fibre Brush, which would be my second choice. I have yet to try this techquiqe, but I think that during the Summertime, mixing a bit of this liquid illuminator with your liquid foundation will make your skin look amazing! Hmmm...perhaps I will try that this weekend!

I just love how my cheeks glow! 

I didn't apply much, but just enough to make my skin look healthy!

Bottom line...I love this stuff! I usually use powder highlighters, but if you are truly opting for a dewy glow, then a product like this one is your best bet. If I get Sunbeam, I will let you know what I think, but judging by how much I am enjoying this product, I am sure that my thoughts will remain the same.
