#illuminating fluid

Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid ($48) comes in only one shade, Sunkissed. The shade is a warm golden bronze. I've been searching for a highlighter that is not shimmery or too bronze. This has light-reflective pigments that gives your skin a nice healthy glow. The illuminating pigments are not too shimmery for everyday use.

The texture of the product is like a liquid foundation, so I apply it to my cheekbones and bridge of my nose using a foundation brush. It blends easily into my skin and sets rather quickly (~5 seconds). This product stays on all day, and does not cause my face to look oily. It is a great addition to my makeup routine because it brightens the whole face.

My skin is rather sensitive to cream blush or tints so I was afraid this would cause breakouts. But after using it for over two weeks, my skin has not had any adverse reactions.

The only thing I don't like about this product is the packaging. Since it comes in a glass jar with a twist cap, it would be a difficult product to travel with. I would have preferred it if the product came with a pump.

Overall, Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid is a worthy product. I would not hesitate to re-purchase it.
