Laura Geller Tahitian Glow Baked Body Frosting Swatches and Review

Same huge size: MAC Wonder Woman XL mineralize skinfinish, Laura Geller Tahitian Glow Baked Body Frosting

I've always liked Laura Geller's baked makeup, but this is my first time to try her body product that can be used for both face and body. This is a supersized product that is the same size as the gigantic MAC Wonderwoman mineralize skinfinish that barely fits the palm of my hand. It also has a flocked sponge that fits neatly inside, although I prefer to use my duo fibre brush for applying this.

The Laura Geller Tahitian Glow Baked Body Frosting (the name makes me hungry) is made in Italy, starts as a rich liquid that is poured onto terracotta pans, and baked for 24 hours. It is a fine, silky smooth powder that delivers a nice sheen on the skin, think "the J.Lo glow". As with highlighters, glows make the skin look instantly youthful as they blur imperfections and mimic the dewy complexion of youth. This can be used wet or dry: dry for a subtle glow or wet for a more intense beach-esque radiance. I personally like to use it dry, because too much looks too metallic on my skin.








The swatches were applied dry. As you can see, even if applied dry, it really imparts a beautiful glow to the skin. I thought that this might give my skin a fake dark tan sheen, but it is actually a beautiful glow that gives warmth to the skin and gives it a healthy sort of color and radiance. And that is why this is called Tahitian Glow, because skin does look like you've just gotten back from vacationing in the Tahitian islands (although I'd die if a company would make a product named "Boracay Glow" in honor of my favorite beach in the world).

The ingredients include white tea and Centella Asiatica- a powerful antioxidant, and ceraphyl oil which actually moisturizes and gives a dewy look to the skin. Best of all, it's paraben and mineral oil-free.

I am honestly loving this product. It does not give a too frosty of a sheen, but just the right glow that reflects youthful radiance. I also love how HUGE this is; I know this will last me forever. If you are using this for a big even or a night out, you can apply this wet on your shoulders or even the decolletage for a dramatic, head-turning glow.

The Laura Geller Baked Body Frosting in Tahitian Glow retails for $40 and is available on QVC and LauraGeller.com. I am giving away one of these in a recently-concluded giveaway, and I will announce the winner very soon, so watch out for it!
