Over the past 12 months, you might have seen quite a few posts on a brand called GA-DE on my blog. It launched into the UK and made a name for itself on QVC, quickly selling out of everything that was on offer. The newest product to my collection is one I shared on my Instagram Stories a few months ago and here it is today.
The GLOW FX Luminizing Tone Perfecting Cream is described as being a luminous tone-perfecting cream that amplifies skin's Illumination with a pearlescent glow and designed to blur, even, and enhances skin for a rejuvenated, youthful and radiant complexion. Basically I need to fill my bath with it, lie there for half an hour and get out looking as fabulous as my face looks when I use this cream.
Formulated with what is referred to as skin-smoothing, hydrating, and brightening agents, the cream includes a natural antioxidant complex to help protect skin from urban pollution while improving its elasticity and suppleness. This complex is known as the Lycoskin Defence which comes from tomato skin cells, so not only is it rich in antioxidants, it also helps to protect cells from pollution, UV damage and other free radicals that cause premature ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. But that isn't all, it also helps to moisturise skin as well as to aid the cell renewal process and collagen production which in turn leaves the skin rejuvenated, revitalised and radiant. You will also find the inclusion of Vitamin C for those skin brightening properties and its help in brightening the skin.
So how about that glow? Well this cream doesn't just a glow, it imparts the most lovely instant rosy glow and regardless of your skin type or tone, it looks amazing. Using pearl particles which help to revive your complexion, the illuminated look definitely have that wow factor and aside from the pearl pigments there is also what is referred to as 'multilayer technology' whose job it is to blue imperfections to enhance the skin to ensure that luminous glow shines through.
The cream, which its peachy tone, is luxurious, it sits in the not too thick and not thin camp and it has an almost whipped like feel when applied to the skin. Despite having those pearl particles, it isn't sticky or greasy on the skin and it doesn't make you look extra oily either. It
works just like your moisturising cream, but is a whole lot extra and it smells absolutely delightful of rose. The swatch below is completely unedited, but if you head over to my Instagram stories, you can see the Glow FX Luminizing Perfecting cream in all its glory.
I have used plenty of highlighters over the years in all different forms - gel, powder, liquid, with a wand, without a wand, with a doe foot applicator and so on. But this is the first time, i've used a cream, like this which I just adore and this is why. As well as using Glow FX on its own, which you absolutely can do and I have, you can add it to your foundation, your tinted moisturiser, mix a few drops of your favourite facial oil, i've added some into my body cream which was an accidental application, but my skin glowed amazing, you can also use it sparingly and apply it in the same places you would apply your highlighter after finishing your makeup look. The use, is absolutely endless, up to you and if I could bathe in it, I absolutely would.
Suitable for all skin types and tones, you can find Glow FX from GA-DE via MMCL or QVC and it is priced at £49 for 50ml
