I am a fan of Dermaglow skincare, and their Lip Plumping balm is a staple in my make up arsenal. I got the chance to try their new Dermaglow BB Eye Illuminator- available at drugstores in Canada. It’s not listed on their website yet, and I don’t know if anyone outside Canada can get their hands on it…

So back to the product. It is an illuminating cream that in look is similar to MAC Strobe Cream- so kind of like a highlighter. It also is chock full of hyaluronic acid spheres, so it has serious moisturizing and enhances skin texture by filling in lines and wrinkles in as little as 15 minutes.  I have been using it on the outer corners of my eyes/top of cheekbones area as a hydrating luminizer. It adds radiance and moisture and is a great way to freshen up  and brighten mid day. It has three small metal roller balls on the slanted tip for a cooling massaging action, while stimulating microcirculation. Even though it is designed for the eye area, it is a sheer formula and is also fantastic used on the upper lip line. Yes you heard that right. I use a few drops to lighten the upper lip area and a dab or two on the cupid’s bow of the lip makes your lips look fuller. The moisturizing properties help plump lines in the upper lip area. Seriously, this stuff is miraculous. I keep it in my make up bag, and have used it on long drives so I look perky and bright when I reach my destination. It is also terrific when flying as it add moisture to skin parched by high altitudes. I’m not sure if there are any long term benefits but as a creamy lovely product that adds radiance and moisture, I’m hooked. It’s like emergency healing balm for your face.

Perfect for party season, when you want to look your glowy best. File Dermaglow BB Eye Illuminator under my emergency radiance kit.

Dermaglow BB Eye Illuminator is available in Canada at Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall Pharma Plus for around $34. It is so new it’s not even on the Dermaglow website yet! I will update this post as I find out more.
