I received several Gleam by Melanie Mills products for review and was thrilled to be able to try these products.  Gleam by Melanie Mills has received rave reviews in publications like InStyle, Self, Redbook and Allure.   I received:

• Body Radiance – A revolutionary all in one make up, moisturizer & glow for body and face. There is a shade for every skin tone but every skin tone can use each shade for a different end result. I received Rose Gold.
• Lip Radiance – An all-natural, highly-pigmented, lasting gloss that improves lip texture and adds couture color. I received Uncontrollable.
• Radiant Dust – A pure luxe, loose powder imparts shimmering glitz and glam. It can be used as eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, all over body with or without Gleam Body Radiance

Body Radiance is very versatile and can be used on your body or on your face to give your skin a bit of color and glow. I used it on my face as a blush over my foundation. I have very fair skin and the Rose Gold gives me a nice warm tone which is perfect for summer.  Over that, I used the Radiant Dust in Rose Gold as a bronzer to finish the look off. I do love the way the two colors match but you could easily choose different colors for a different look.   I love that these products don’t transfer or stain and that they are perfect for every day or a special occasion.

The Lip Radiance in Uncontrollable was a bit too dark for my complexion so I topped it with a clear lip gloss to tone it down a bit. I love the final look. It’s very moisturizing and hydrating and doesn’t bleed at all.
