I wasn’t completely sure what I was getting myself into with the Essence Pure Nude Highlighters. I had been drawn to holographic, light-catching highlighters over the summer so I picked up the shades Spacelighter, a “light reflecting rose” and Cosmolighter, a green light reflecting shade.

I first encountered the Lorac Illuminating Light Source Primer as part of a set I bought over the holidays. From the moment I put it on my face, I knew this was going to change the way I do my makeup. I often skip primer, especially in the winter, but this primer makes me want to use it all the…

Can I get a prince to marry? No? Well, in the meantime, lay your eyes on the gorgeous Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Royal Glow from Becca. I thought the title of this issue of The Atlantic was perfect for this photo, although one has nothing to do with the other!

A while back, Lorac released a set that included a full-sized blush, highlighter, and a sample-sized primer. I purchased the set sight unseen and used all of them together. It makes for a delicious combo and I especially loved the illuminating primer so much, I bought the full size.

The Nars Easy Glowing Cheek Palettes are offered in two choices: Coucher de Soleil, which I have previously reviewed, and Reve Sale, the highlight of this post. Reve Sale is demoed on a light-toned…

The Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighters are proof that your face can ball on a budget. I have been using the shade Rose Gold Lights for years and it’s only $6.00. Wearing Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter in Rose…

I was told nearly my entire childhood not to judge a book by its cover. It’s a little harder not to do with makeup. However, the Nars Easy Glowing Cheek Palette went through two stages of consideration before I decided to get it and it still left me longing for more. I went for the darker of the palettes, Coucher De Soleil…

I’ve had pretty good success with the Sephora Collection Bright Future line. In fact, I loved their gel concealer and their color corrector wasn’t so bad either. When I saw they were offering a new luminizer, I just had to take a chance on it. The luminizer is offered in three shades, Champagne, Rosé, and Cognac and is $14.00. Playing…

You need this highlighter palette. Yep. You need it. I can’t tell you how long I have been lusting after this thing (like three years) and I finally bought it about two months ago to seal in my Sephora VIB Rouge for this year. No clue why it took me so long because now I just can’t imagine life without…

I wanted to get this review out there because I think a lot of people will enjoy the formula of Lancome’s Click & Glow Highlighting Skin Fluid. I picked up the shade Lumières D’Or (warm gold).

I’d been hearing positive things about the Smashbox Photo Strip Highlighting Palette for some time. I picked it up when it was part of Sephora’s Weekly Wow’s for $11.00 and I gotta say, I don’t regret it!

Does it count as Instagram hype if you see something for the first time and it gives you heart palpitations and then once you get it, it’s just as amazing as you imagined? Yes? Well, so be it! Because that’s how I feel about the BH Cosmetics x It’s My Raye Raye collaboration! Top Row L to R: Nudist, Pancake,…

I have been holding on to the Topshop Chameleon Glow Highlighters ($10.00-14.00) for a very long time. You may have seen me on Instagram wearing these on and off but I thought I should share the glory of the powders. I have already previously reviewed the Otherworldly Glow Stick in the photo below, so in this post, I will only…

Shout out to Sephora for shipping my package same day! My FENTYBEAUTY order arrived on a Sunday! Hooray! I purchased two items from the brand, two of the Killawatt Highlighters in Trophy Wife and one of the duos, Hu$tla Baby/Mean Money. And I want more! Today, I wanted to talk about the highly sought-after highlighter Trophy Wife.

I was quite surprised when I heard Rihanna was coming out with a makeup line. I mean, not shocked because she is certainly in retail but I wasn’t expecting it. I placed my order for when I woke up but I also got myself to Sephora today and swatched everything they had available. I was most keen to swatch the…

The Guerlain Meteorites Baby Glow Touch CC Luminizer ($39.00) comes in two shades: Golden Glow and Rosy Glow. Golden Glow looked warmer to me, so that’s the shade I went with. The highlighting stick is supposed to be used for strobing, but the brand also mentions color correcting, at least with regards to the Rosy Glow shade, from the brand’s website.

The Maybelline Master Fairy Highlight ($9.99) is a great choice for those wanting to try a purple highlighter. There are many brands coming out with purple monochromatic highlighters; the first I saw was in an Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit (I believe), which I didn’t get to try. I remained skeptical about them until I found one I was willing…
