These Illuminating Drops (for the body) come straight from heaven!

This summer, it's not just your cheekbones that will be shining brightly - you can also highlight other parts of your body, such as your shoulders, collarbones and décolleté. Here are a few recommended products that will have you glowing like a Victoria's Secret model.
Fenty Beauty, Iconic London, MAC and Sol de Janeiro: all these cosmetics brands have something in common. They're putting the body in the spotlight with their new beauty products - and they're anything but affordable. Sparkling body sprays, oils and illuminators are all the rage. You know, those products that make all the models and stars look stunning.
**Scoop:**no need to invest in overpriced products, use what you already have at home. A liquid or powder facial illuminator works just as well. And if you want to pamper your body at the same time, simply mix your body cream or oil with a little powder illuminator.
A drop of radiance
If you're still looking for the perfect illuminator, I highly recommend L'Oréal's new "Glow Mon Amour" illuminating drops. [[productlist:8627639]]
They're already a cult hit! Thanks to their very light liquid texture, they are very easy to apply: under, on top of or even in your foundation and even more incredible - you can apply them all over your body. I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting such intensity from a drugstore brand. Guilty as charged. You won't find any big glitter, just a very intense shimmer that's easy to apply and shape to your heart's content. For a more discreet but uniform look, simply add a few drops to your usual moisturiser to illuminate your body. If you want to dazzle others, use a brush to apply the product to your shoulders and collarbones.
Lowlight: only this shade, which is more suited to fair skin, is available in Switzerland. Too bad. There are other shades abroad that are better suited to darker skin.

The drops straight from heaven are part of the new L'Oréal "Wake up and Glow" collection, which also brings together a self-tanner, a blush, a tinted cream (available in 3 shades) and two "La Vie en Glow" palettes. I tested all the products except the tinted cream. My conclusion: the drops are the highlight of the collection - so to speak. Followed closely by the warm self-tanning powder and the universal peach blush. In my opinion, you can do without the La Vie en Glow colour palettes, I find them too powdery and lacking in intensity. But I have high standards, I like my make-up to glow, even on satellite images... [[productlist:8766449,8766409,8766407,8766451]]

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
