7. Drunk Elephant O-Bloos Rosi Glow Drop

O-Bloos™ Rosi Drops | Rosy-Peach Face Serum – Drunk Elephant

Drunk Elephant’s O-Bloos Rosi Glow Drops to give a rosy, subtle finish that’s excellent for everyday wear when your skin feels dry and drab. This product is touted as flattering for all skin tones, however, in terms of colour payoff, it obviously favours fair to light complexion tones. It gives the complexion a dewy shine in the dark range, but it lacks colour payoff. You can’t go wrong with this if you don’t like pigmented blush or enjoy a wonderful lit-from-within glow.
