That JLo Glow Glotion
Glamglow Glowstarter Mega Illuminating Moisturizer, $49

Look fresh as hell thanks to this radiance-boosting moisturizer. It douses skin with moisturizing ceramides, oils and hyaluronic acid that plump and provide an excellent base for makeup. (I'm addicted to primers and can forgo my usual when wearing this glotion.) It also contains brightening ingredients and a healthy dose of shimmer. (Read: choose this if you're going for JLo, rather than Angelina Jolie.)

A word of caution: The scent, while pleasant, can be a touch strong if you're sensitive to smells.

A Girl's Best Friend Glotion
Tata Harper Illuminating Moisturizer, $85

This natural moisturizer acts like an IRL Nashville filter, thanks to diamond dust that's an integral part of the formula. Science-backed naturals, like Spanish lavender and buckbean extract, turn back time by increasing skin's firmness and hydration, and reducing wrinkles. It has no artificial fragrance, but the potent blend of ingredients gives the product a divine nose — and it smells exactly the way you'd imagine Tata's Vermont farm does.

The Bye, Fine Lines. Hello, Dewy Skin Glotion
Algenist Optical Illuminating Moisturizer, $70

Alguronic acid is the superstar anti-ager in this glotion. It comes from microalgae, and basically helps your skin regenerate to nix dullness. While this is great for the long-term (as are anti-aging diamond peptides), what about that immediate glow? It delivers, trust. Opalescent mica rounds out the formula and gives skin a natural, radiant sheen.

Glotion for a Golden, Sensual Glow
Tom Ford Radiant Moisture Souffle, $98

Glow like you spent the entire summer in the Hamptons (even if you were confined to your cubicle) thanks to this luxurious product. The texture is oh-so-light and a dream to apply; I'd slather this over my entire body if I could. The glitter is a touch more prominent in this glotion than in the others but, honestly, what else would you expect from a designer who specializes in sexy, glamorous clothing?
