shu uemura stage performer signs off

Received this thanks to COVERmagazine! 

shu uemura stage performer signs-off
45 USD | 4mL

This product is supposed to smooth away the appearance of lines in an instant. It's to be used as either base make up (before your foundation) or as a final touch, depending on whether you're keeping dry or moist. It contains soy extract to boost collagen synthesis and firm the skin. It also aims to give a smooth look and plumped skin. According to the label, it will give you 6 hours of lasting, visible results and 24 hour moisture. 

Is this true? 

The answer is yes! I tried it as base make-up, and it gives a highlighter effect that kind of gives the impression that your skin is raised. This has no glitter, and its pure cream. If you apply it to your cupids bow (the curve above your lips), it'll give the impression of fuller lips. It can be used anywhere, but I believe the most dramatic effect could be seen on that area. Since the function is to boost collagen synthesis, it can't be bad for you right? I recommend using it under your concealer to brighten up the eye area. An innovation with fast results! A magic pen I would say. Try and see for yourself! A recommended buy.

In the stage performer category, there is also another product. It's called the instant glow. I believe that should be good too! Would love to try that also. COVERmagazine, are you reading? ;)

About the product:

Extracts from cherry, plum and alpha hydroxyl fruit acids provide long lasting moisturisation while enhancing capability of skin cells to retain moisture for a long time. Also protects from harmful UV rays. Prevents tanning of skin and other forms of UV rays damage. Smooth and silky skin is what you achieve, all day long. 

Active Ingredients:
Extracts of Cherry, Plum and Alpha hydroxyl acids derived from grapes.

My review:
Since I'm in India at the moment, I thought I'd review a local product! 
Lotus Herbals is a relatively new brand in the market, and its' products are only available in India.Their selling feature is that they tend to use natural extracts such as wild turmeric, lemon peel, jojoba, avocado, tea tree oil, rose petal and tulsi (a kind of basil) leaves. They have a wide range of products from sunblock to hair serums. This product in particular is really refreshing, and good for daily summer use! Just the right amount of moisture for the summer, not too thick, and not excessively light, with just the right hint of SPF to protect you from the sun. With other SPF products for daily use, I tend to break out. But with this, it's smooth skin! (Touchwood!). It smells good too. Love it! 

Any orders?
