As the festive party season gets into full swing, beauty enthusiasts across the UK are flocking to a budget-friendly highlighter that's being described as a 'little tube of magic'. The product in question is Rimmel London's Multi Tasker Turbocharged Glow Liquid Illuminator, which is currently creating a buzz on the shelves of Superdrug.
A Viral Sensation for a Radiant Finish
Priced at just £8 at Superdrug, down from its usual £9.99, this liquid illuminator is part of Rimmel's new 'Glow Up Showdown' range. Designed to deliver futuristic shimmer and all-out glamour, it has garnered a wave of five-star reviews from delighted customers. Shoppers consistently praise its ability to impart a 'really healthy glow' that works for both everyday wear and special occasions.
The product's versatility is a key selling point. It is designed for use on both the face and body and comes in a total of nine distinct shades: Chelsea Glow, It's Giving Bronze, Main Character, Not A Basic B, It's Giving Glow, Rosy Rebel, Iconic As Usual, Spilling The Tea, and Bougie Girl. Each shade can be used multifunctionally as a highlighter, a blush, or a bronzer, allowing for customisable looks.
Formula and Features Designed for All
Rimmel has formulated this illuminator to be inclusive and skin-friendly. The vegan and cruelty-free formula is enriched with Vitamins C and E to help hydrate the skin. Its lightweight texture is reported to be easy to blend and layer, avoiding a harsh or cakey appearance. Application is made simple with a soft-touch wand, designed for precise placement, and the product is fragrance-free to suit a wide variety of skin types.
The positive feedback on Superdrug's website is overwhelming. One customer exclaimed, "I love this little tube of magic! It's a beautiful colour and so easy to apply and blend without looking too harsh." They also highlighted its versatility, noting they use it as both a highlighter and a liquid eyeshadow. Another reviewer, who described themselves as usually 'boring' with makeup, said, "I actually really like this shade... I think it gives you a really healthy glow and is quite subtle."
Considerations and Comparisons
While the majority of reviews are glowing, a small number of users have noted that the product's longevity on the skin could be improved. One customer mentioned that while it leaves a nice shimmery glow, they found "it doesn't last very long." Despite this, they still classified it as a good product they would continue to use.
The Rimmel illuminator sits at a notably accessible price point compared to other highlighted products in the market. For instance, lifestyle influencer Kim Mann has shared the ICONIC London Illuminator, stocked at LookFantastic for £32. Similarly, Sephora offers the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Le Stylo Highlighter Pen for £32. This makes the Rimmel option a compelling, budget-conscious choice for those seeking a radiant finish this festive season.
With its blendable formula, skin-loving ingredients, and multifunctional use, Rimmel's Turbocharged Glow Liquid Illuminator is proving to be a standout hit. It offers an affordable route to the luminous, healthy-looking skin that is highly coveted during the winter party period and beyond.
