My Opinion:

Got this for a while, but only started to use it recently. I was really amazed with the result of this product, this is a light concealer with average coverage, but you could actually layer it without looking cakey, I find this unusual in concealers, because whenever I try to layer concealer under my eyes it always look cakey and emphasis my lines.

My Opinion:
Since winter has started I have only used balm on my lips, and I've frequently picked these two up.
Minty is a light pink that doesn't really show up on my lips, so I usually wear a liner underneath for some colors. While Strawberry is a deeper raspberry shade that still look natural on me. These balms smells delicious.

Luminescent Complexion Enhancer

Sheer fluid, Glow Enhancer, Shine Base, Liquid Highlighter..... This stuffs comes in all sorts of different names, but they all serve basically the same purpose, i.e. to brighten up your complexion. I know that some people use this to accent their cheeckbones and brow bones, but for such purpose I prefer powders, therefore I mainly mix this stuffs with my foundation for the dewy look.

I don't usually use skin enhancers during the summer, because after several hours my whole face will be shinning, and if you have oily skin stay away from this. But I love it for the winter, especially if you have dull skin like mine, it will brighen up your complexion.

These are the glow enhancers that I have (these have been sorted according to their prices, the cheapest one on the right and the most expensive one on the left):



Apart from these, I've heard some ravings about benefit's high beam and moon beam, but as you can see I've already have enough enhancer to last me for several years (you only need a tiny bit each time), so there's no point in getting anymore, but if I ever finish these, I might want to try the ones from benefits.

SKIN FOOD LIME SECRET SHINE BASE


It says in the bottle:

Subtle pink and gold highlights add a natural glow to the complexion. This pearl liquid highlighter leaves a dewy finish, with or without make up. Use it everywhere for natural-looking luminosity.

Contents: 30g or 1.0 oz.

This stuff is colorless, when mix with your foundation it'll give you that dewy look. So far my favorite, because it's lemon scented and I love it, but if you don't like your makeup with fragrance, stay away from it.

Skin Food is a Korean product.



EYEKO CREAM





According to Eyeko's webpage:

Create a flawless base with Eyeko's 3-in-1 Cream MOISTURISER, HIGHLIGHTER & EYE CREAM in 1!Infused with skin perfecting light reflectors and antioxidant Vitamins A& E plus a Vitamin C boost for a radiant, clear complexion.

Contents: 36ml or 1.27 fl oz
Price: US$9

It says in the box that it is Created in London and Made in Taiwan.
 
I've got mine from eyeko.com, with 20% off and free shipping. If you google it I'm sure that you'll find someone's ambassador code that'll give you a discount or free gift.
 
Amongst all my luminizer, this has the thickest texture, but don't ever think of using it as a skincare product like it claims, because if you use it all over your face as a moisturizer you'll end up looking like a disco ball and as a eye cream it provides 0 hydration. Personnaly I only use it as a luminizer by mixing a tiny bit of it with my foundation/tinted moisturizer/BB cream.

THE BODY SHOP TINTED GLOW ENHANCER



According to The Body Shop webpage, this product falls into the Bronzing catogory and it says:

It can be worn alone as an alternative to foundation, or applied over foundation to add a subtle sheen to the face and body. Dermatologically tested.
 
Size: 25ml
Price: HK$125 or £10.75

This comes in 3 shades: 01light, 02 medium and 03dark, and mine is in 01. While the other 2 luminizer that I've already discussed is colorless, this one is slightly tinted, and I like to use it when I'm pale, i.e. right now.

Ingredients: Aqua/Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Isododecane, Alcohol, Polycyceryl-4 Isostearate, Cetyl Peg/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Phenoxyethanol, acetylated Glycolstearate, Magnesium Sulfate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Tristearin, Cellulose Gum, Nylon-12, Limonene, Benzyl Salicytate, Linalool, Dipheny Dimethicone, Acrylates Copolymer, Parfum/Fragrance, Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Butyphenyl, Methylpropional, Aluminium Strach Octenyisuccinate, Aluminium Hydroxide, Hexyl Cinnamal
 
This comes in 10 shades, and the one that i have is #2 - shimmering beige.
 
I've got this while I was getting the foundation and the primer, the sales lady insisted that I will need the fluid sheer as well. This one actually has some kind of golden shimmery in it, while all the other products that I've reviewed before will only give you a glow.
 
Although this was the most expensive, I didn't really like it, I'm not into shimmery stuffs, but I guess this would look really good for a evening out.
