Eyeko "Extra Glow" 3 in1 Cream.

This is the newest LE version of Eyeko's Glow Creams - they are already available in a regular glow and a tinted glow version.

This product is available now on the Eyeko and ASOS websites, and retails for £8.00.

I sometimes feel like a bit of a fraud buying Eyeko... The range is obviously aimed at a younger market than me, an this is often reflected in the packaging, but the packaging of this I find quite attractive!

The cream itself is housed in a simple pink pot, which is fine - If I was being picky I'd prefer a tube for hygiene reasons, but thats a personal preference.

Having never tried either of the other two versions of this cream, I had to look at lots of online pics to see what made this one different - Obviously the tinted cream is a bronzier version of the cream, and the other glow cream seems to contain more of a golden shimmer, whereas this contains more of a silvery shimmer, and has a pinkier base. It looks very pretty in the pot...
This cream is described as a 3-in-1 product, which can act as a highlighter, moisturiser and an eye-cream. Personally I'd only recommend this as a moisturiser for more dull looking skin, as I feel it might make skin look a little shiny. I'd also hesitate to use this as an eye cream, as I personally have  few fine lines in that area, and anything too highlighting seems to do just that, and highlight the lines even more. However if you are a beautiful young, fresh faced beauty, then this might work well for you.

As a highlighter though, particularly for the cheekbones, this is a lovely product - it adds a lovely sheen without looking glittery...
A little of this product goes a long way, but the effect is very pretty - Obviously I have pale skin so I can't comment on how well this would work for darker skin types. Also bear your skin type in mind - due to this being a cream product, it may not work for oilier skin types. I have normal to combination skin, and this blends easily, and stays put well once applied and set. It does set pretty quickly, so it needs to be worked into the skin speedily. It can be applied with fingers (easiest!) or even a brush (more hygienic and/or professional if using it on others!)
