a2o Lab Lumi Glow Complexion Booster

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!!! The effect is very subtle but I can definitely tell a difference in my skin tone and overall appearance. It evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy and adds the most gorgeous healthy glow. I mix it in with my moisturizer on minimal makeup days and also with a light foundation on days I want more coverage. My new holy grail product I will definitely be repurchasing.

For reference, I’m a golden light medium complexion and I bought the shade shine. I was actually really surprised by this product! I was expecting it (based on the photos) to be a little more sparkly on the face, but it blends into the skin very nicely. I used this as a primer and it looked beautiful even without foundation. No twilight vampire sparkle, no tackiness, and no uneven distribution of the pigment. The shade Shine gives a really gorgeous neutral dewy tint, it’s not too peachy at all. Highly recommend if you don’t like a golden tint and you’re light to medium.

My expectations for this was so-so. But it's fantastic!!

No, truly, it is phenomenal. As said in my title I use it almost every time I do my makeup. I find that this product is really versatile!! I can add it in with my tinted moisturizer or (light coverage) foundation and it adds a nice little glow. And from what I've seen it doesn't mess with the formula or wear time.

What I've been doing recently is adding it in with my peach color corrector (I've got the shade Shine) and the yellow in it helps neutralize my very purple leaning eyebags. It doesn't leave a sticky or too obviously glowy look underneath my eyes. It's not very glittery either, so really I just mix it in with my color corrector and honestly sometimes it's such a good shade match that I just skip concealer and cover it with my tinted moisturizer.

The actual consistency of the product is not as liquid-y as I thought. It's more of a cream with a doefoot applicator: think elf hydrating camo concealer. So it does mix in with runnier liquid products well although it does make them a little more creamy (which I don't mind) but when mixing the two formulas it looks kinda gloopy and like it won't work, but it does!! Honestly no complaints!

Will note though that the bottle feels really nice but the cap feels really cheap, so it's a little bit off-putting the first time you use it, but it's so good! I love it!

I have yet to use it as a full base (and I don't think I will, that's not really my vibe) but the shade Shine is really great for my light-medium skin tone!

Also for my fellow girlies (gender-neutral) with sensory issues, this feels pretty weightless! At first it's a little uncomfortable (particularly when I mix it in on the back of my hand) but on the face it feels like a gel moisturizer and the feeling of it evaporates almost immediately.

So yeah, I love this!

I bought some facial highlighters and eyebrow pencils all were great!

I’ve been wanting an affordable version of the Elf halo glow and this was kind of it, but even better fit my needs. I don’t really wear foundation anymore so this worked out nice since it’s kind of like the halo glow but with no coverage, just sheen. It really does make my face glowy and I like it on natural skin. It’s also kind of tacky but in a way that helps the rest of my make up stick, like a primer. I got the lightest pinky shade. You can build it up and use it as a no-makeup-makeup highlighter. Subtle but so pretty.
