I must admit, I’m not the kind of girl who’s obsessed with highlighter. I never really wore highlighter unless my makeup was professionally done and I considered it the extra step I didn’t have time to add to my makeup routine on the daily. When I got the “You’re in” email to receive the Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter (MJDDCGH), I was excited! This would be my first full sized high end makeup product. I have received sample sized products from high end brands before, but it was never in my budget to purchase anything full sized.
When I first used the MJDDCGH, I wasn’t completely sold. It is a liquid highlighter with gel consistency. Since I have oily skin and most of my products are powder- based, I was thinking, “How is this going to work with my daily routine?” A couple of snacks and a few YouTube videos later, I was well versed in how to apply liquid highlighter. After application and a bit of blending I was like I don’t get it. I mean, I saw the highlight but it wasn’t magical. I only used a small amount because I didn’t want overdo it and look like Goldmember. (You literally need like half a pump and the bottle is HUGE!) So I went outside and behold: GOLD! I was shining from here to heaven! I’m assuming the lighting in my bathroom just didn’t do it justice.
So if you’re considering a new highlighter or just want an extra nudge in the right direction of a good one to add to your beauty arsenal, here are my top 3 reasons why you NEED the MJDDCGH: #1: Dewy Highlight I thought that it would make me look extra oily and it does just the opposite! Think of it as the perfect addition to getting that “just right when the sun hits your face” all over summer dew-licious glow. #2: Glowing, Luminous Skin Yeezy said it best, “Watch out for me I’m bound to glow!” With this highlighter you will be a golden goddess with a luminous glow all Summer ‘17! #3: Coconut Fragrance and Benefits This highlighter smells absolutely amazing! Who doesn’t want a product that has a pleasing fragrance? It takes you to a tropical paradise every time. And it hydrates and nourishes?! Winning!
And as a bonus…here are 3 unique ways to use the MJDDCGH:
Add to your foundation for an all over youthful glow.
Add it to your body lotion or oil to give your skin a luminous glow. (Especially when wearing those shoulder bearing tops.)
Add it your eyes as shadow for a quick and easy shimmer glow, perfect for day or night!
