NARS | COPACABANA ILLUMINATOR

I think I have found my new favourite beauty product... The NARS Illuminator in Copacabana!

Even though I have just purchased the Soap and Glory Hocus Pocus Illuminator, which can be seen in my previous post here, I just couldn't resist this! I have read a few other blog posts about this product and heard nothing but good things, so I couldn't wait to try it out!

I saw this in Selfridges when I was shopping and swatched it on my hand, instantly I could see just how pigmented it was and it left a subtle shimmer! I knew I had to have this product but before committing to buying it I continued shopping for a few hours, just to make sure I didn't find anything else! I kept looking at how well the product has stayed on my hand even through hours of shopping and knew I definitely had to buy it! 

The illuminator is a lovely silvery champagne shade with a slight pink hue and really well pigmented. The product is also really light and glides lovely onto my skin leaving a shimmery tone. The product also stayed on my skin really well and doesn't need to be reapplied throughout the day which is a bonus!

When applying a highlighter I always apply to the top of my cheek and around my temples, which can be seen in the photo below. I feel that this is where the sun hits my face the best and makes my skin glow without looking too shiny. The sales assistant also gave me the great idea of applying the illuminator to my legs and collar bones for a night out, apparently it makes your legs look super long so I will definitely be trying this!

This is the first NARS product I have purchased and I don't think it will be my last! The packaging is sleek and the cap lets you squeeze out just the right amount without ending up with too much!

You can find the product here from the NARS website, priced at £23.00 it's quite a bit more expensive than high street brands but not as much to break the bank and the quality of the product is worth it!

I hope you all enjoyed reading about one of my new favourite beauty products and come back to read about some more of my beauty loves!

Love 

Samantha
