performs as you would expect

I was initially worried the illuminating moisturizer would give me an over the top glow, but thankfully, it was quite natural. I feel like this moisturizer would work best for those with drier skin, as the the consistency is a runny liquid and slightly on the oilier side. I love that Tata Harper is a clean brand, 100% natural and that they do not use synthetics. Their products are also unfragranced, so they do smell rather herbal and hemp-y, which may not be for everyone.

Tata Harper Illuminating Moisturizer Review
.
I have tried quite a few of Tata Harper's products, and have found the formulations to be lovely; however there is something about the scent of her products that unfortunately just doesn't work for me. I don't have any sensitivities to fragrance... there's just something about the characteristic Tata scent that doesn't resonate with me. Am I the only one?

That said, I recently tried Tata Harper's Illuminating Moisturizer and it is heavenly. I don't find the scent to be quite as overpowering as her other products (still pretty strong though). This moisturizer is hydrating without making my skin feel oilier. .
Sometimes (as a plus 40 woman) I struggle with products that contain too much 'sparkle.' The shimmer in this product is made from diamond dust (Yep. really!) and it gives a beautiful, subtle shimmer... not too disco. I suffer from 1980's post-frosty makeup regret, so I will use any product with sheen with a very light touch. Tata's illuminating moisturizer is great under makeup, or over top of makeup as a light spot highlighter on high points.

Would I purchase? It wouldn't be number one on my list... simply because it is cost prohibitive. Once a few of my kids move out, and I can increase my skin budget... I'm all over it!
