SUN// Shine Bright: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector

This highlighter may be the best highlighter you will ever try in your life. After dabbing it lightly on my cheekbones one fine day in Sephora I was head over heels. This handsome devil has stolen many a heart in the beauty blogging and Youtube community. This highlighter, in its pressed form or liquid form is hands down Becca's signature product. 

Packaging//Design:

The packaging on this product is very modern, so modern in fact when closed it looks like a mini U.F.O. However despite it looking like it might just hover away into the galaxy the packaging on this product is very solid and the big mirror is always an added bonus. 

The Texture

I am commenting on texture for this highlighter because it is so different from any other powder highlighters I have tried in the past. Its creamy..yes, its still a powder but it feels like butter when you touch it. This is due to the unique formulation which blends together pigments and liquid binders. All that mumbo jumbo essentially means the result of this is a creamy application and balanced color.

Glow, Baby Glow!// Final Thoughts  

There are six glowy shades to choose from in the range// Moonstone, Opal, Rose Gold, Topaz and a new shade called Champagne Gold. I chose Opal which is described on the web as a golden, opal pearl ( who would'a thought!) The glow this product gives is so seamless. Its not glittery it is that beautiful sheen that you seen on the models. I concentrate mainly on my cheekbones but I also lightly dust on my forehead, down the bridge of my nose and lastly on my cupids bow. I think this would also be great as a finishing touch to eye shadow to pop a little glow in there too! This product is a little pricey coming to $44 dollars. However, I think its well worth the investment and my favorite product to apply in my makeup routine at the moment. If you want a glow from out of this world, this highlighter needs to be in your life. 

That about sums it up from me today! What is your favorite highlighter? Let me know in the comments below. I hope you all are having a wonderful, relaxed Sunday! 

See you next time!

Product Review: The Balm Mary Lou Manizer

Hello my dears.

It feels like it has been a while, how have you been?

Life, as of late made me feel like I was floating in this bubble 

of bland. Everyday, I would come home from school, run upstairs to my bed and not come out unless I wanted food or tea. I was starting to feel a little of the depression demons kick up. I didn't want to do much of anything, talk to anyone or, do things I normally enjoy doing. Like, being on here with you for instance. 

But, I digress things are starting to lighten up a bit now 

I am feeling more inspired and my daydreams have kicked back into gear. I missed them so. 

Now, onto the review!

After following super-star blogger, Essiebutton for a little while you realize how dangerous her influence is on you!

I blame her for this slightly impulsive purchase but, like I imagined it is quite a beautiful product. 

I am very big on highlighter and highlighting products. 

I really enjoy that dewy skin look on me! So, I knew that this would be a product that would be very well loved.

I ordered this off of Amazon. They were having a deal so I got this for a bargain! ( awesome!)

After it arrived I used it immediately and went a little overboard because of how excited I was.

I was for some reason, under the impression that this product would be shimmery because of how it swatches on the hand. But no this highlighter is so beautifully milled so when applied to the face it creates a very reflective, glow from within effect. I even swipe this a tiny bit on my forehead and feel it gives the face a balanced glow.

It is just, gorgeous. I highly recommend that if you are in the market for a grand highlighter this, should be one to consider.

  

However,to photograph this was a little tricky.

This, was a portrait when I was headed to school. You can see the glow on the top of my cheekbone. Trust me, its much prettier in person!

I hope you all enjoyed this review. 

I have been having a lot of fun learning and trying to make my blog posts more appealing to me. Notice, my new cute pastel social media buttons~ courtesy of blogger: Pancake Ninja. 

I also have been having lots of fun with a free photo editor called Picmonkey! It's super amazing. That is how I created the very cute new little additions to this post. 

I feel satisfied making this blog grow even if I have a very 

intimate audience right now.  

I love you all and I hope you are having a great start to March!
