First of all, I do really like this highlighter as it it gives a gorgeous lit from within type glow. It looks natural and sits nicely on a few different foundations I've tried it with. It's easy to apply too.
The problem I have is the price. I know its more high end but I just don't feel like there's a WOW that can justify the cost. I've got many other highlighters including drug store products that are almost as good but cost 10 times less, and I just don't think this product is that much better to charge so much more.
The packaging is nice but I would rather save money than pay so much extra just for nice packaging.

I have combination skin at the moment due to medication (previously chronically dry) so picked this up as a cheap stop-gap because none of my old products were suitable for my now oilier skin.
This gives the perfect amount of moisturisation overall on my face, my drier bits still feel moisturised but my oiler parts just look glowy and I'm not dripping in oil.
It dries down to a nice finish and make up applies nicely over the top.
It does have a strong scent but I like it and it fades quickly when it dries.
If my skin ever goes back to dry I will probably switch over to the cream version as I don't think the gel would be moisturinf enough on its own but for now this works great for me.

I want to hate this product so badly because of how much it costs for a little product but I just can't. I've been on a fruitless search for years, tried product after product is a desperate bid to find an alternative that works just as well and I've had to accept that it just doesn't exist.
This product has the perfect level of coverage, consistency and glow for my undereyes and instantly makes me look like I've actually slept properly, drink 2 litres of water a day and eat the recommended number of vegetables everyday. It's like magic in a stick, it makes me look HEALTHY. Even after a week of nightshifts I can apply this and look like a functioning member of society again.
I will keep my search for an alternative going on the down low purely because of the price but in the meantime I will continue to purchase and sometimes you can get it in holiday sets that makes it a little more economical.

I was shade matched to this in-store at a lancome counter and at the time thought it looked beautiful on my skin for a full coverage foundation. It gave really good coverage without looking thick or cakey.
It applied well with a brush and I purchased the lightest shade available.
Unfortunately after a few weeks of using this foundation I realised that it was oxidising badly on my skin and turning very pink. I can't recommend this foundation because of the dramatic shade change that made the product unusable for me despite being recommended by counter staff. Be aware that this colour change can happen and test it thoroughly before purchase.

So my skin has a mind of its own, dryness, redness, the odd blemish here and there and it definitely does not like anything more than a sheer coverage. I've tried countless foundations and without fail none have worked for my skin. That is until now.
This foundation sits beautifully on my skin and doesn't look cakey or mask like at all. I apply with a damp sponge and can generally layer it up where needed to cover my redness without it looking cakey or flaking on my drier spots.
I can also use the same foundation to go back in and spot conceal on the less intense blemishes. It still looks natural doing this. I've tried numerous concealers on top for both eye bags and more noticeable blemishes and all have worked well with the foundation so I don't need to purchase something to work specifically with it.
The shade range is excellent, I'm very pale and offerings from foundations such as Estee Lauder Double Wear or Lancome are still too dark for me especially once they've fully dried down on the skin but I use the shade Snow in this foundation and it works perfectly for me. It has the right undertones for me and their other paler shades all have good undertone selections too.

L'Occitane Shower Oil with Almond Oil

This product smells absolutely divine, it lathers up well for an oil and is easily spreadable across the skin so you don't need to use a huge amount each time. It works well for shaving too instead of a shaving foam.
I feel like my skin is soft and moisturised after using this product, the smell does fade quickly though. It is a little pricy and definitely a luxury item for bathing so I would recommend purchasing the refill packs as this is significantly cheaper than buying the normal bottle.
