You know when you fall in love with a book or a show, so you suggest (or, let’s be real, pressure) your friends and family to get into it, too? You lend them the book or send them the Amazon link. You constantly bring up the show or offer to watch it with them. You do pretty much anything to get them on board. Yeah, that’s what I do when I find a beauty product I’m really, really, really into.
There are a few products I have a history of doing this with, including Peach & Lily’s Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream, which just so happens to be one of my favorite moisturizers ever, and Chanel’s No. 1 de Chanel Revitalizing Foundation ($70), which gives me a my-skin-but-better look. But I digress. The latest product to ensnare me is kind of a surprise, even for me. It’s a high-impact shimmer that creates the most beautiful effect on the eyes (or anywhere you apply it). It comes in three shades. As soon as I got my hands on the first one, I ran back to Sephora to buy the second. When I got that shade home, I had to go back again the next day to get the third. I just couldn’t help myself.
On the final trip to Sephora, I dragged two of my friends along with me. While standing in front of the product, I was swiping all three shades on my arm to show them how stunning the shimmer effect really was. A fellow Sephora shopper overheard me and asked to see the swatches. Before I knew it, I had three strangers gathered around my arm, twisting and turning it to see the twinkle of each swatch under the fluorescent lights. Yes, that’s right—I basically cosplayed a Sephora employee and convinced three strangers to buy the product. (One of them bought it to wear on her wedding day.) It’s that good. Keep scrolling to see which product it is and learn why it’s one of my favorite makeup products ever to exist.
