Strobe Highlighting Moisturizer Cream

The last time I stopped by at the MAC counter some months back, I was given not just one but two little sample pots of the Strobe Cream in 'Goldlite'. "This will give you that J-Lo glow" I was told. Intrigued...I couldn't wait to get home and try it out for myself. The lightly perfumed cream has a pearlescent appearance which gives your skin a shimmery, radiant look (not glittery at all). The effect is, of course temporary until washed off. I use it as a highlighter over my foundation (cheekbones and cupids bow) and it just makes the area where applied look illuminated, I love it. Although a little too heavy to use on my face daily as a primer, I have on some occasions managed to get away with using it mixed with my foundation, about one-third Strobe Cream to two-thirds foundation, any more just becomes too heavy for me. The effect is subtle but that's also what I like about it...you cannot tell anything has been applied, it just looks like you have naturally good radiant skin. And yes I did return to the MAC counter and purchase the full size product as soon as my sample pots were used up! -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (thought it might be useful to share my 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.
