Gleam is loaded with good-for-you ingredients like olive oil, jojoba seed oil, green tea and white tea extracts, and aloe extracts. I wouldn’t use it as a straight-forward body lotion, but it feels nice on the skin. Bonus: it smells of vanilla cake, but not in that cloying, nauseating way; you have to really put your nose to your skin to smell it. The scent is light and subtle, just like the shimmer.

Gleam is available in four shades. Available for $40 per tube at GleambyMelanieMills.com

1C Foundation: The lightest cool-tone loose foundation (other than the gothic pallor shade), I really love this product. I almost never wear foundation because even the lightest mineral powder feels heavy and unnatural on my skin. This one did not. I did not feel like I was wearing any makeup at all. It didn’t look like I was wearing makeup either. It did a very good job fighting shine, too. I am very, very impressed by this product.

Sheer Perfection Concealer: On the other side of the spectrum, I hated this product. It is basically a translucent powder. I found it to be dry on my skin, a bit chalky, and it offered no coverage at all. Definitely a miss for me.

Youth Dew Luminizer: This pale pink shimmery highlighter is a fun product – lightweight, virtually colorless, lots of shimmer. It is somewhere between a soft glow and stripper glitter.
