Review: Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops

If you use makeup and opt for a more natural look, then you know the struggle of finding products that are actually good for your skin without compromising your look. Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops are the perfect answer to your prayers. 

Taking a little bit of a different approach, the watermelon glow niacinamide dew drops act as a skincare/makeup hybrid to create a flawless dewy finish while simultaneously nourishing your skin!
