Essence Pure Nude Holographic Highlighters

Essence Pure Nude Holographic Highlighters

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.

Review: Nars Easy Glowing Cheek Palette | Coucher De Soleil

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…

Review: Sephora Bright Future Radiant Luminizer Cognac

Review: Sephora Bright Future Radiant Luminizer Cognac

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…

Sunkissed with Guerlain Meteorites Baby Glow Touch Luminizer Stick (Golden Glow)

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…
