lilah b. Glisten & Glow
Glisten & Glow (CAD $80) is described as a multipurpose, all-over skin illuminator with skincare benefits. ‘Awaken and revitalize a dull complexion with this luxurious whipped formula. As part of an overall beauty routine, healthy, radiant skin becomes instantly attainable when worn alone or as an all-over base for our Flawless Finish foundation.

This is a very subtle highlighter and glides on effortlessly on the skin. The shade is light champagne and is sheer but buildable. It gives the most natural glow, makes the skin look fresh, dewy, and luminous. The texture of the product is creamy and soft. It is the perfect all-over highlighter, I use it on my brow bone, highpoints of my cheeks, a little on the centre of my brows going towards the forehead, the bridge of my nose, my collar bones, and even the top of the arms if I am wearing the sleeveless top. The added skincare benefits into the products are a plus.
lilah b. Divine Duo Lip & Cheek

I really like the multi-purpose use of the products from this brand. The creamy texture of this lip & cheek duo blends so well into the skin on the cheeks and looks great on the lips, without making my lip drier or emphasizing the dryness. The pigmentation is as to give a nice color and buildable as required. It does works great as an eyeshadow too. I really like the shade b.true which is mauve and pink kind of shade. It gives a very natural flush to the cheeks and nice natural pinky lips on my skin tone. This shade would be great for most of the skin tones for the natural flush and color.

The palette b. stunning is a perfect combination of four brown brown/neutral shades that I wear every day. I use the light champagne shade as a highlighter in between my eyes, the Browns are great for a simple everyday eye look. For a nighttime look, I just wet my brush and apply to the palette and get even more intense hues. The darkest brown shade can be applied wet as an eyeliner. The look is simple but chic which I always prefer. It is a multi-use palette, perfect for both day and night, natural and chic, night and intense kind of look.
