Advantages: Cheap with great results

Disadvantages: Only available in Primark

It wasn't until very recently, thanks to "foxyred's" great reviews, that I became aware of the fact that Primark sell toiletries and make-up. Although they have quite a good range of make-up items it did take me a while to find the make-up stand, hidden away in amongst their many stands of clothes, but I am so glad I did.

Primark's make-up products all come in little sealed clear plastic bags with the product information printed on the top of the bag where it is then hung onto their make-up stand. Nearly all items in their make-up range are priced at £1, except for the odd couple of bigger items, which are maybe £2 or £3.

The first product in their range I wanted to try was the Liquid Face Highlighter. To be quite honest, at first glance I thought this was nail polish. The highlighter comes in a 15ml bottle very similar in look to that of a nail polish, a glass bottle with a black screw top lid to which is attached a brush, identical to that of a nail polish, in fact when I first applied this product, I did actually do a double take, just to make sure I wasn't about to apply nail polish to my face!!

The liquid highlighter is a lovely pale shade of pink with a slight sparkle to it, not a glitter, just a subtle shimmer. The liquid itself was quite thick and creamy. I applied a few dots to my cheek bones and temples and blended it in to my skin with my fingers. The highlighter smoothed into my skin very easily and blended well with my natural skin tone. It dried into my skin quite quickly leaving my face feeling cool and moisturised. I loved the look once applied, it gave me a lovely, natural looking healthy glow. I have quite a pale complexion naturally and can often look a bit ill, but this liquid highlighter worked wonderfully helping to give my face a subtle natural glow and at the same time bringing my skin to life.

That healthy glow lasted all day with only one small application in the morning and come night time it was very easy to remove with either soap and water or make-up remover pads. Great results from only a very small amount.

==Ingredients==

Aqua, Butylene Glycol, Polyethylene, Paraffinum Liquidum, Dimethicone, Laureth-7, Stearic Acid, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Mehtylparaben and Iron Oxide.

Nothing too hazardous and another thing I liked about this product was the fact that it had no scent at all, so no high content of fragrance.

This product should be used within 6 months of opening and, to be quite honest, I really think it will last the 6 months, because a little really does go a long way and gives great results.

A super addition to any make-up at an even more super bargain price of £1!
