Eyeko Extra Glow Cream:Limited Edition

Hello bloggers, hope everyone is having a lovely Veterans Day and taking a  moment out to honor men and women serving in the armed forces. I know I have been bombarding you with highlighters lately but if there's ever a time when highlighters are in season then the holidays would be it so another highlighter cream up for review today is Eyeko Extra Glow Cream Limited Edition. This has been in my collection for awhile but I'm just getting around to it. You'll be seeing a lot of highlighter reviews as I'm sitting on tons which haven't been used by me yet including Urban Decays UrbanGlow. This Eyeko cream is a updated new formula from the original Eyeko 3 in 1 glow cream which has more concentrated glow for a soft focus radiance and loaded with micro light reflecting pigments. It's 3 in 1 because the triple uses for it works as a moisturizer, highlighter and eye cream. It's very rich and thick requiring just a minimum of the product to be blended into your skin. As you can see from my swatch above the color is a lovely pale pearlescent pink with a silvery tilt to it. I have to mention when making the swatch for the photo the cream was not blended in to my skin because I wanted to show you the color and if I blended it on my skin it would be lost with the camera flash. So keep in mind it's not that cakey and bright. The formula blends well giving you a very soft radiant sheen. The benefit of a cream versus powder is that you get a more natural glow without a powdery finish  that shows up on your skin. This also works wonder for brightening up around the eye area and flatters your cheekbones and decollete area as well. I also rub some on the outside of my hands for fun when I want a great manicure to get noticed. What they could have improved on was the smell because it has a subtle chemical odor to it, it's not sharp but noticeable. You think they would give it an enticing scent to go with the pearly glow. The formula could also have been improved by being a tad bit more sheer and not so thick. The packaging is a cute little pink plastic jar about one ounce weight in size which is small but will definitely last you a long time as you only need a dab of product application. If you find this is too pinkish for your skin tone there is a warmer subtle bronze tinted  glow cream available from Eyeko as well. This Super Glow is limited edition and sold out but is currently in stock again. It's not one of my favorite highlighters but it gives a gorgeous moonlit effect and the price is decent. Stay beautiful! XOXO
Availability: Eyeko $14
