I am always on the lookout for good products with many uses. That’s why I quickly raised my hand when test pilots were sought for this product. Now I’ve had the chance to use it for a few weeks and have come to the following conclusions!
My first impression of the product is that you get a lot for your money depending on what you intend to use the product for. I chose to try the color Hazel, which is a warm medium bronzy brown with the purpose of using it as a glowing liquid bronzer. I immediately noticed that one to two small drops are enough for that purpose in my case, so this product will last me a long time.
30ml of product for liquid bronzer is quite generous in my opinion and a fairly standard amount for a skin tint on the market.
Compared to other skin tints I’ve tried, this one has a bit more “body,” meaning it doesn’t feel like running water but still has a runny and light consistency. It’s truly glow in a tube! It’s packed with reflective mica that reflects as well as some of my highlighters but with particles a bit too large to be flattering all over the face for me.
I have oily combination skin and quite a bit of texture. I like to work with my skin instead of layering on and trying to hold back my natural glow. Therefore, this product is attractive in that it can be used for many things.
Because of the color I chose, it didn’t quite work as a skin tint or glow under my foundation in my case. The color is way too warm. But the texture and coverage were nice, although a bit too unstable a formula for my taste to wear all over the face. It tended to crack and separate when used as a skin tint. This, however, was due to my oily skin🤗. Under foundation/skin tint it stayed more stable, but then I also used significantly less product and worked it well into the skin with my hands.
It really is quick to get a nice result with it as a liquid bronzer. For me, it works best when I click out 1-2 drops into my hand, work the product well into my brush, and then dab/buff the product into the skin. Depending on how long I want my makeup to last, I powder and set the makeup with setting spray, but I don’t feel the need to lock in the product once it’s applied. It has a normal to short drying time on the skin and stays put until I’m ready to remove my makeup for the evening.
If I could wish, I would choose a slightly darker and more neutral tone to get the color to work even better for me and to be able to give a more dramatic result in the form of contouring as well as a shade that works for me during the day as a skin tint. In other words, there is currently no shade where I feel I can get all the uses out of the same shade.
In my opinion, the product lives up to the expectations of being a glow bomb that you can play around with depending on when in the year you want to use it, how your skin feels that day, and what effect you want to achieve. According to the product description, it is supposed to highlight your own natural features, which I find a bit vague. Do I want my texture to be highlighted? Nah. But do I want a natural thin bronzer product that sinks in nicely and plays well with the rest of my makeup? Oh yes!
Nice and fine day cream that is economical and moisturizes well without affecting either my sunscreen or makeup. However, the packaging is a downside as the opening of the nozzle is too large and you easily dispense way too much product. Haven't had the product for very long but I immediately feel that this won't last me very long because of the packaging.
I have oily combination skin and can otherwise warmly recommend the formula if you want a gel-like formula that contains, among other things, vitamin C❤️
How could we forget this wonderful series from Davines!! Of course, I’m not speaking for everyone, but I would have. I have bleached damaged hair. Thin strands but a lot of hair. The way my hair soaks up this oil without feeling heavy or "staining" my light hair is incredible. The hair already feels more manageable after a week of use and doesn’t feel as dry. Plus, it smells lovely.
I have oily/combination skin and find it can be hard to find the balance between giving my skin the moisture it needs without clogging pores, etc. I'm on my third or fourth tube of this and I'm obsessed. Works great as a day cream for me in winter too, but during the warmer months I use a lighter cream during the day and this one at night. Can't live without it! You dry skin folks will love this. I've already gotten all my colleagues to use it and my mom with super dry skin too. In short, a super cream that suits many!
