Giella Eye M Glam highlighter

Hi guys, sorry it's been awhile since my last blog. As you would have known by now, I am actually due to have my 3rd child, that's why I haven't been blogging for awhile. My due date supposed to be on the 15th July but till now, bub still dun wanna come out!!! I'm already 6 days overdue and if bub's not out by 24th, I have been booked in for induction on the 25th which I dread of cos with my 1st child, it was a long agony process of induction and ended up I had to go through C-sect cos it was way too long - 28hrs of labour! Anyways... since bub still not out and I feel like blogging today, I thought I should review on this product which I bought awhile ago.


It's the EYE M GLAM highlighter by Giella Cosmetics. It is created by Mario Dedivanovic and here is the description by him:-

EYE M GLAM is a sheer highlighting powder that will give you the most gorgeous, golden glow. Using GIELLA mineral pigments, I custom blended EYE M GLAM while sitting on the floor in my apartment one evening, determined to come up with the best highlighter. I wanted a product that would give all my clients a consistently sheer and natural glow. Being able to use and test it on my celebrity clients for television, photo shoots and on red carpets has helped me perfect EYE M GLAM into a universal shade that is flattering on all skin tones." -Mario Dedivanovic

Mario's tips:
-Use EYE M GLAM on the inner corners of eyes to separate and brighten them. Apply onto your brow bone to highlight and lift.
-For bullet proof eye makeup that wont move, use Magnetic Eye first, followed by EYE M GLAM.
-For more intensity, wet your brush with a bit of water.
-Highlight your face with EYE M GLAM. Swipe down the bridge of nose, across cheek bones and on your cupids bow
-Dust EYE M GLAM along your collar bones and dekolletage at night
-Mix it with your tinted moisturizer or foundation for an all over golden glow.


Well, I got to know about this wonderful product from a Youtuber: BEATFACEHONEY and she highly recommended this product so I thought... why not, give it a try!and hell yeah, I have no regret getting it! For $35, you are getting quite alot of product and trust me, a little goes a long way so for the price, it's worth every penny! You could use this on your face and also safe for eyes. I bought mine from this website: http://www.papoledancing.com/shop/giella-eye-m-glam-highlighter.html 
It's USD $35 (Including shipping) which is cheaper than getting directly from Giella Cosmetics website.

I've tried a few times and it does give a nice glow to my face. Not glittery and definitely not overly shimmery at all. Very smooth and just gives a nice glow and as for the color, only comes in one shade and I think this shade is versatile to all skin tone. It kinda like rose gold tone and not only it's great as cheek highlighter, certainly looks great as highlighter on browbone or inner corner of the eyes as well.

Anyway, here are the pics and swatches. Very simple packaging but hey most importantly is the product itself is great. The product comes in a nice velvet pouch which I like!















Well, hope you enjoy this review and hope to do more blogs when I can!

Take care and have a lovely week ahead! xo

  1. Congrats on the baby first of all. I recently had a baby and started my own blog, if you want to check it out. I had a question. Do you own Albatross by NARS? Is this a finely milled product like that or is it powdery? I was looking to purchase this but it seems alittle to beige looking for me.

  3. Hi Tamara, thanks for your comments! Yes, I do have the Nars Albatross highlighter and they are very different. The Giselle Eye M glam is a finely milled loose powder and it is slightly more shimmery than Albatross. The color is very different too, on my skin (NC15) is more of rose gold tone. I only use a tiny bit on my cheekbone and it worked well. I also use it on my eyes but definitely need a base to help it stay on. It is a gorgeous color and I'm pretty sure that this highlighter will look great on you!
