I love nothing more than a good multi-purpose product and I have found a really wonderful all over highlighting product in the form of St.Tropez Skin Illuminator in Rose.
Worry not if after reading this review you like the sound of the product but not so much the shade as there is two other shades to try or perhaps collect: Gold and Violet.
Basically St.Tropez Skin Illuminators are a liquid come gel product that are similar to NARS Skin Illiuminators should you have tried those in the past.
The beauty of the St.Tropez Skin Illuminator's is that they are formulated to be gentle enough to use on the face as well as the body and as they are made by one of if not the most famous self tanning brand you best believe they make a tan glow like no other. I have also read that Victoria Beckham is a fan, that alone sold me!
How you use St.Tropez Skin Illuminator is completely up to you, I personally like to mix a small (around a pea size blob) of it into my foundation as the shimmer element is so fine it adds radiance to the skin rather than an all out disco finish that Donna Summer would have been proud of.
The only perk of fine fragments of shimmer is that those like myself who have to worry about open pores can finally have that much desired glowy skin finish without worrying about drawing attention to said flaws.
Of course you can also apply this to targeted areas such as the cheekbones and brow bone not to mention you can slick it on your body to perk up the skin. A quick and easy way to elongate legs is to apply a fine band of this product down the shin bone and blend out with your fingertips.
As mentioned there is three shades in total but I decided to go with the Rose option as it lends itself rather well to be mixed into foundations, that and I find pink based highlighters work best with my skin tone during the cooler months. I will more than likely purchase the gold version of this for the summer months but for now the cool light rose shade is my go to highlighter and with the tube being a huge 50ml I will be running low no time soon!
