{Beauty Mark} Boots No7 High Lights Illuminating Lotion

12 April 2012


Everyone talks about the glow

There is the 'new love' glow. The 'pregnancy glow'. The 'just plain happy' glow.

And then there's this glow. I love having radiant skin, but a lot of shimmer creams or lotions can have a glitter effect, and it comes off a little more 'middle school meets stripper' than 'radiant glow from within'.  When I discovered this at Target, I loved the pinky undertone. It translates well on skin, and doesn't leave a silvery cast when dried. 

Also, during these summer months, we sweat. Let's be honest. This allows you to use a mattifying powder and add on the shimmer. It also gives you the chance to add more shimmer for a sexier look on those nights out where you throw caution to the wind and glow to your little heart's desire.

A little goes a long way with this, and is best applied on areas you want to highlight, like underneath the brow, corners of the eyes, high on the cheekbones, collarbone and cupid's bow of the top lip.

I have found that it mixes well with lotions as well, so a few pumps can be mixed into facial and body lotion. Don't worry- a little of this stuff goes a long way and you won't run out quickly.

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great highlighting cream at an affordable price of around $13 a bottle. 

You can find it here and here. Also check out your local Target stores.

    1. Is it something you could order online? I know Boots originated overseas, so maybe you could find them around?

  3. I've been looking for something for the summer that adds a little something something. How is it weight wise? If I add a pump to my moisturizer, would it weigh everything down?

    1. It's actually incredibly light, and you really only need a pea size or less for the facial moisturizer. If you put it into body lotion, a pump or two should do it!

    1. This has such a fine shimmer, that it doesn't translate as glitter or chunky, and it's the best and most affordable that I've found! Plus, it really does last forever!

  8. Britt - thanks for swinging by my blog and your sweet comments! So glad I found yours in return, and I'll be following you right back. :) So I've used MAC's Strobe liquid for the past few years, but I've wanted to try something that's a little more affordable - this sounds like it would be perfect! Also - I don't have a button yet, but would definitely be interested in the button swap - let's keep in touch about that. Have a great day!
