Rouge Bunny Rouge Sea of Nectar Highlighting Fluid – Swatches and Review

August 16, 2011 By 12 Comments
After falling in love with Sea of Tranquility I decided it was time to add another Rouge Bunny Rouge Seas of Illumination Highlighting liquid to my collection.
From the Rouge Bunny Rouge website:
At sunset in the Enchanted Garden, you can fleetingly glimpse the mermaids dancing in the gently lapping waves of the Grand Moon Seas.  Evening mists rise and tenderly caress them, lingering languorously on their bodies to gift their skin with uncommon youth and beauty.
Sea of Nectar is described as Gold-in-rose to give a pale copper luminous effect, stunning – To warm and uplift cool skin. I’ve come to accept that Rouge Bunny Rouge’s colour descriptions are about as bang on as you can expect and Sea of Nectar is no exception.

I find this to give a warm, luminous effect to the skin. One needs to watch the amount of product applied or it can be a little bit too “glowy”. While I adore this product, I’m struggling with the decision of whether to hang on to both of my Seas of Illumination or not. I can’t seem to perfect my liquid highlighter application and find myself reaching for my powder products more often. This may have to do with the fact that I haven’t gotten in the habit of using cream and liquid products regularly. I frequently find myself having already applied my foundation and setting with a powder and then realizing $#%& I meant to use (fill in whatever liquid highlighter or cream blush product). While you can apply these types of products after applying a setting powder, (and I often do), I find they work much better over foundation prior to applying any powder products. It just seems to be a learning curve I’m having a hard time nailing down. If you have any great tips for liquid/cream product applications please let me know. Right now my application method 98% of the time is with my fingers.





I purchased this from Zuneta. They have excellent customer service, quick shipping and a beautiful assortment of brands and products. Highly recommended.

    The bottle is so pretty!!! RBR packaging always kills me..so pretty. I had a Clinique liquid illuminator that I liked…I wonder what I did with it. *digs through makeup*

    What a beautiful color! It looks so dark at first but blends in so perfectly.

    It does give a bit of colour. A nice bronzer effect on my very pale skin. ;-)

    I have this and it is lovely but I, like you, need to get into the habit of using liquid/cream cheek products as I am so used to powder blush/bronzer. I like using this on the eyes and lips as well to really get a golden glow:)

    Oooooh I love this! So funny, I’m more of a liquid/cream blush and highlighter girl b/c sometimes I hate the feel of powder, though I have a few powders that occasionally get use. Weird how we all have our little quirky preferences ;)

    So do you use these simply as highlighters or do you mix them with foundation for an all over glow? I am wondering how Sea of Tranquility compares to Becca’s Shimmering Skin Perfector in Pearl? I love spot illuminators like this.

    Suselew you can use them as both. I use them mainly for spot illuminating though as most days I wear the LMdB Peau Vierge which already has an illuminating effect.
