FreshTwilight Fresh Face Glow

First of all, let me just tell you what you may already know: I love to shop at the actual boutique of cosmetics companies, because most (except MAC) will give you free samples of their products to try. Yay, I love free. Kiehl's Boutique will give you almost anything! Also try Fresh, Clarins, Jo Malone (not makeup but whatev! Perfume! My other favorite thing)and Benefit.

La La. So. I was at the Fresh store-- and let me just say, I LOVE their stores if not all their products. I was in there recently getting a little gifty-poo for a friend, and I got a sample of their Twilight Fresh Face Glow cream made with crushed pearls (almost as good as good as Lindsay's Diamond Dust Cream. $400 dollars for what, like a million effing diamonds!)

Ah yes, anyway this Twilight Face Cream is a primer you are supposed to wear under your makeup to impart the glow of a million crushed pearls. Well basically it's shimmer for your face, and unless you are Beyonce or Mariah Carey or like me, think you are-- it's going to end up looking a little hokey.

It's just a shimmer cream-- and it really leaves behind this weird, whitening effect on your face. I can only imagine that someone who is tanner than me is going to end up looking ashy. I looked ghostly, so it seems like the logical thing to think. Maybe if you wanted to, you could add a little of it to your tinted moisturizer or something. It's just not something I would buy just for the heck of it, unless VH1 would revive "Divas Live" and extend an invitation to me to come and sing on stage.

I guess if you wanted a little sumthin' sumthin' going on in the shimmer department you could try it. It's $36-- that is $12 more than Moonbeam/HighBeam from Benefit. I mean, if you're just dying for your face to look like the moon then get it.

1 out of 5 stars for being non-essential, too-white, and slightly more expensive than necessary.

Even if it is for like, a million effing pearls.

Practical Kisses!

PS. If you have an extra 21 minutes, go to hulu.com, type in Arrested Development and go to the episode titled "The One Where They Build A House". The whole diamond dust thing will make so much more sense.
