99 Spray sunscreen, while nothing new can be a complete lifesaver, being an easy option to use sun protection without requiring much in the way of effort and without the thicker greasy texture. Maybe I have been spoilt for radiant foundations my favourite is the new Touche Eclat Foundation from Yves Saint Laurent which is just gorgeous, but 28.

Another Six Drugstore Favourites
I’ve done sporadic posts detailing my favourite or essential drugstore products for a while now, however, it has been a good number of months since I’ve done one of these. I also acknowledge that I’ve been featuring slightly higher end products as of late, so I’m making he first steps in remedying the lack of drugstore content around these parts. I am definitely about the budget beauty after all…
- L ‘Oreal Sublime Sun Quick Dry SPF 50 Sheer Finish Spray ($17.99): Spray sunscreen, while nothing new can be a complete lifesaver, being an easy option to use sun protection without requiring much in the way of effort and without the thicker greasy texture. However, I find that many spray sunscreens irritate my skin, being filled with alcohol and only seem to last for a few weeks but this sunscreen is an exception. It’s moisturizing while still being the lightest weight texture, meshes well with my skin and doesn’t seem to evaporate on the skin.
- Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Soft Brunette ($11.99): I adore this thickening tinted brow mascara, even with the round brush and all, because it really works to tame my unruly brows and add some much-needed definition that matches my ashy toned eyebrows perfectly. It lasts for days in my brows in a way that nears being slightly annoying. I’m thinking that I might prefer this to MAC’s waterproof brow gel too but it does not add as much of a tint.
- L’Oreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip in Carbon Black ($9-10): While the brush tip is not the easiest to wield, particularly in terms of holding a smooth and steady line, it’s affordable yet allows me to create the most precise wing out of all of the liners that I have tried.
- Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 07 Nude-Ist ($24): Bourjois is a drugstore brand (even in Canada) but it’s not exactly the most affordable, or in the pricepoint that we would associate typically associate with drugstore brands. Regardless, I love this comfortable liquid lipstick staining product because it feels velvety on the lips, lasts for ages, is not drying but is comfortable on the lips. This shade is a gorgeous slightly brightened warm rose shade that I love for an everyday lip and even better, you don’t have to worry about it smudging on coffee cups or anywhere else.
- L’Oreal Magic Lumi Concealer in Fair ($10-12): This highlighting pen runs among the fairest that I’ve ever tried and has that brightening pink tone so it works nicely on paler skin to brighten areas such as underneath the eye. However, I find that this pen works best when paired with another heavier duty concealer concentrated in the inner corners when my horrific dark circles are in sight – after all, a pale light-reflective concealer cannot cover such darkness.
- NYX Butter Lipstick ($8.99): Ever since I’ve spotted these comfortable hydrating lipsticks around drugstores here in Canada at the very end of last year, I’ve been gradually trying a small selection of them and have fallen in love with the easy flattering, pigmented formula. The most pigmented shades are the brighter and darker shades – among which I own the coral-y Fireball and the deep burgundy-berry Licorice – but the more neutral shades are nice too, including the pictured warm-toned nude, Sugar Wafer (especially when paired with some liner).
Another way to use this product is as a highlighter. It can be applied to the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid's bow, to add a subtle glow and luminosity to the skin. It can also be mixed with foundation or moisturizer for an overall radiant effect. The L'oreal Magic Lumi Light Reflector comes in a liquid formula that is easy to blend and buildable. It has a lightweight and silky texture that feels comfortable on the skin. It is also suitable for all skin types and tones. Overall, the L'oreal Magic Lumi Light Reflector is a versatile makeup product that can be used to enhance the complexion and add a luminous glow to the skin. Whether used as a primer or highlighter, it helps to create a soft-focused and radiant effect..
Reviews for "Tips and tricks for using L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Reflector like a pro"
- Emily - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Reflector. It did absolutely nothing for my skin and did not have the illuminating effect that it claimed to have. I applied it to my cheekbones and it just looked like I had applied a regular moisturizer. It also felt really greasy on my skin and didn't blend well with my foundation. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a light-reflecting highlighter.

I was not impressed with the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Reflector. The product does have a slight illuminating effect, but it is very subtle and not worth the price. Additionally, I found that it accentuated my pores and made my skin look greasy. The packaging is also not very practical, as it is difficult to control the amount of product that comes out. Overall, I was not satisfied with this product and would not repurchase it.

I have mixed feelings about the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Reflector. While it does give a nice glow to the skin, I found that it emphasized any texture or dry patches on my face. It also didn't last very long on my skin and faded after a few hours. The packaging is convenient with the pump dispenser, but the product itself didn't live up to my expectations. I think there are better illuminating products out there for the same price or even cheaper.
