Loving…. Face Of Australia Mineral Therapy Illuminator in Angel Fire (NARS ORGASM DUPE ALERT!!)

I’ve pretty much said everything in the title of this post!

I love this product, it’s by Face of Australia and it’s a total dupe for the NARS Orgasm Illuminator!

This is a limited edition product, so if your looking to pick it up.. get thee to store now!

When I first swatched this in Priceline I ummm’ed and ahhh’ed over it, would I really use a highlighter that’s pigmented and not really a traditional highlighter colour? Then I couldn’t stop thinking about it and imagined how I would use it, now I can’t see myself without it (and i’m tempted to go buy the rest of the colours).

The consistancy of the product is quite thin, but it is very pigmented and easy to blend into the skin. You do have to be careful though because you may get a bit of product overload come out (see swatches below for a great example!).

The colour though, wowza! If you’re a fan of NARS Orgasm get this! It is an absolutely gorgeous peachy pink with a fine gold shimmer. I think it’s one of those colours that universally suits all skin tones.

I find the best way to wear it is more as an enhancement on my blush, so i’ll put on my blush and then dot a bit of the Illuminator on the top points of my blush and blend in. I have no idea if this is what you’re meant to do but it works for me.

Let’s see this bad boy (or girl) in action. This is a photo I took in the car on NYE my first outing with the Illuminator on. Yeah I like heavy blush :)

Details!!!

    I was looking at these the other day in Priceline and decided not to get them yet as I already have NARS Orgasm illuminator. I’m thinking of getting one of the other colours though! It’s soooo pretty xx

      Yeh there’s no point if you have orgasm, I want to get the others except maybe the dark one since I’m not much of a bronzer person

    This is so pretty! I have Angel Flame, but I’m still figuring out how to use it :)
    Oh and I’m loving your eye makeup too!

      I know I absolutely love it! I think it’s a bit too shimmery for a blush but just subtly on the high points of the cheeks with a nice matching blush works well for me :)
