Glamglow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer in Nude Glow

   This product from Glamglow helps to moisturize your skin while giving it an all over glow.

   This moisturizer has hyaluronic acid, which acts as a magnet for moisture, keeping your skin hydrated. There is also shea butter and jojoba oil in the formula; these also help to keep your skin moisturized. The other main ingredients is ceramides, these help to protect the skin from environmental aggressors such as pollution and irritants, and to give the moisturizer its glow they put pearl particles in it.

   They also left out a lot of ingredients from this vegan formula such as, parabens, mineral oil, sulfates, phthalates, soap, petrolatum and drying alcohol.

   You can use this moisturizer many ways. You can use it by itself to create a glow anywhere you want on your face, layer it with your foundation or a BB cream to give yourself a hint of glow or you can even use it on your body by itself or mixed in with another moisturizer.   

   I found that it does take a while to dry down and once it does it doesn’t look too shinny on the face. I don’t like to use this moisturizer by itself though; I prefer to layer it with my foundation. I do like the look of it though as a highlighter when I am not wearing any makeup.

   I found that by the end of the day my face only felt a little dry. If you have dry or very dry skin you might want to get a sample of this before you buy it. This product smells like orange creamsicles and the scent did last for a few hours after I applied it, so if you are sensitive to smell you won’t like it.

   Overall I do like this product, but not enough to repurchase it.
