L'Oreal Paris Wake Up and Glow Mon Amour Highlighting Drops Review

This amazing product came in a recent beauty box from BBBE. And I love it! It is the first time I'd heard of highlighting drops.

The product is pinky and pale and watery in a dropper top bottle. The dropper isn't much use to be fair, as the product clings to the dropper itself so I slide it off with my finger to apply it to my skin. While none of that sounds ideal exactly, the product is awesome and makes my skin look dewy and fresh. It sits on top of whatever other makeup I have on, without moving anything and I feel like it makes me look awake and healthy.

I will certainly be buying more when it runs out, and it has lasted for ages already.

I very highly recommend it. Very highly.

I’ve had a few shocking highlighter experiences sometimes it just looks blah or I look like I haven’t got any on at all.. this was easy to use and looks great.

I was hesitant about a liquid vs powder but these were so easy to use. A little dropper that I just dab on my skin and then use my fingers or silicone blender to blend.

They sit on top of my skin as I was a bit hesitant being a liquid they would mix in with my other makeup and not be noticeable or leave me looking like I haven’t blended my makeup properly. So it’s easily set on top of the makeup and isn’t absorbed in or under it so you know it’s going to make you shine.

It’s a champagne?? Kind of colour and gives a nice shine to your skin but not in an oily way. My skin glowed and looked so fresh and not at all dry looking. It really catches the light and gives an amazing glow that some other highlighters I’ve used just don’t.

Wait for a farmers sale as I got this pretty cheap. It’s going to last a long time I haven’t used much as it goes quite far on application. I feel with this product you can’t over do it and both sides look even with minimal effort.

Very similar appearance to a shade on a $90 palette I’ve used so can’t complain with it being much cheaper.

My word....I am absolutely in love with this product. Being in my 40's my skin seems to have lost its youthful dewy complexion to make way for dull, nothing to write home about skin.

Having used two other similar products I was sceptical using this one. Was it going to look like I had fallen asleep in a bowl of glitter like I did with product 1 or will I look like I added some glow in the dark paint to my daily make up regime found with product 2? I was nervous to say the least as the contents looked quite glittery/shiny at first glace.

I added 2 drops to my daily moisturiser and rubbed it all over my face. Loved the tinted effect the product gave and wasn't too glittery at all. Smallest hint of colour means you can wear without make up for a fresh look or under make up for a dewy finish. Finished applying the rest of my makeup and added a drop to each cheekbone as indicated on the packaging. It's not too glittery or too shiny just beautifully luminous.

Got to work and immediately received a number of compliments from my co workers on how good my skin looked. Even got told I looked younger, always a PLUS, right?

Oh, one more thing I need to mention....I love the smell of the product. Subtle, cant quite figure out what it smells like. Maybe someone has an answer for this one, let me know if you figure it out!

This product will now form part of my daily regime, no doubt. Yet another great product from L'oreal. I have already recommended this product to all the ladies in my office today, so more customers hopefully coming your way!

L'Oreal Paris Wake Up & Glow Mon Amour Highlighting Drops in 'Sparkling Love' are an iridescent champagne coloured liquid, packaged in a generous 15ml glass bottle with a dropper applicator.

These highly pigmented liquid illuminator drops contain shea butter and coconut oil, and they blend seamlessly into foundation or on bare skin.

The drops can be used in a number of ways:  they can be used on bare skin for a no make-up look; two drops can be used all over for a radiant glow, or one drop in targeted areas (like on the cheekbones); the drops can be applied on their own over foundation, or mixed into foundation, primer, or moisturiser before being applied; and they can be blended with a beauty blender or with fingers.  I applied mine with my fingers and they were really easy to blend with a light tapping motion.

I don't even think I needed one full drop to apply it to my cheekbones, on top of my foundation.  Half a drop (or a light tap of the finger to the side of the dropper worked), and the 15ml bottle is going to last ages!

My first impression was, "Wow, this is really shimmery." But once it had been blended, all that was left was a beautiful, light reflective glow.

I really do like these drops.  They're a multi-purpose item, a little goes a long way, and they do help to brighten a dull or tired looking complexion, while also reflecting light and acting as a highlighter.  I'd definitely recommend these to someone who is looking for a fantastic highlighting product. 

I don't have much experience with liquid highlighter, but I do love my highlighting powder and even when I'm doing light makeup I ALWAYS do a little highlighter to brighten up my face!

I was super excited to try this one, it looks so absolutely gorgeous in the bottle and has a great little dropper to apply to the face. I tend to go for a more dewy look, and figured this would also really help achieve a natural dewy glow. At first I thought I put too much on, and felt it was a little streaky, but once I spent some time really patting it into my upper cheek with my finger tips, I really saw the end result. I have never had a glow like that with powder before, it was the perfect dewy summer glow that I've been craving my whole life! What a winner of a product! The shade was great, and a little goes such a long way, I would absolutely purchase again but who knows when I'll ever run out?! I think I will be wearing this A LOT this summer, and it can definitely be built on for a night time look, or as I said, kept subtle for a day time glow. I will certainly experiment with this more, maybe even add it to some foundation for an all over shimmer.

If you're on the fence about liquid highlighter, I would highly suggest grabbing this as a start, or as your new holy grail. This is truly a beautiful product.

First off thanks so much BR for the opportunity to be part of this amazing trial. I have never used anything like this before so was very excited to try it out.

It comes in a stylish looking 15ml glass bottle with a dropper. I got the shade 01 sparkling love, a pale pinky/peachy colour. There is a label which you peel back and it has instructions on how to use.  Simply add a few drops to your skincare or add a drop on cheekbones.

It is a thin consistency, a little really does go a long way. While it is only 15ml it will last forever.  The dropper is a bit useless as the product seems to stick to it so I just get a tiny bit on my finger. My favourite way to use it is applying on my cheekbones then blending in with my fingertips.  It sits perfectly on top of my makeup and gives me a beautiful glow.

I was a bit worried it would make me look like an oil slick but it makes me look fresh and dewy. My skin is dry and can look dull so this really livens it up.

What an awesome wee product. I don't think I would ever have tried this if I wasn't part of this trial. I think $30 is a fantastic price and I would definitely purchase this when the bottle is eventually empty.

I received this product in the shade 01 Spairking Love as part of a BR trial. I really enjoyed using this product- the dropper-like bottle meant I could control how much product I used, the glitter was very fine and the product applied smoothly onto the skin. The glitter was concentrated but not overly shiny, when I applied directly to the corner of my eyes it brightened the eye area without having conspicuous shiny flakes. When I mixed this with my foundation, my skin looked more radiant than usual. Overall, this is the best illuminating product I have used (and I have tried a few) and I am looking forward to mixing this into my skincare or other foundations year round to subtly brighten my face.

This is a lovely product to use. It works perfectly mixed into your foundation to give a soft, glow from within type look. Also, if you tap it on the high points of your cheeks and blend it in, it makes for a blinding, gorgeous gold highlight! It's nice and easy to use with the dropper bottle and a little certainly goes a long way!

I don't use liquid highlighters, and have never tried to get a glowy look. However, I received this product in a trial so I decided to give it a go.

I put a drop on under my liquid foundation and left my skin lovely, dewy and glowy. I did look slightly more oily than usual so I had to blot with powder to ensure I wasn't too shiny. I noticed throughout the day that the high points of my face did look shiny and highlighted.
