I recently took a gander in Sephora and saw the highly talked about Nars Banc de Sable highlighter palette ($49.00). Apparently, Banc de Sable is translated as “sand bank” which is really surprising because I thought it was going to be something more provocative. Nonetheless, here are the swatches!

I’m not very consistent when it comes to trying out new makeup, but as a blogger, why should I be? I have been very consistent about blush though and in the way I apply it. I like my blush to be subtle, but apparent. For that reason, I have been applying my blush the same way for many years, regardless…

If you can believe it, I have a love/hate relationship with highlighters. I love looking at them but I strongly dislike people plastering them all over their face. The reason? Because I never see anybody in real life, walking around on the street like that. I do like the look of it when it’s done right. Everyone likes different things,…

The Essence Light Up Your Face Luminzer Palette is $5.99 and worth every penny. When I first saw the palette on Ulta, I’m not gonna lie, I gave it the side-eye. I suspected it might not wear on me long and that my oily skin would slay it in a matter of hours. I also thought it would just be…

I recently indulged in some bling bling from Topshop that I have had my eye on which includes their new Glow Stick in Other Worldly ($14.00) and three of the Chameleon Glows in Changeling, Shuffle the Cards, and Wax and Wane ($10.00-13.00). I have only had a chance to swatch them and hope to be experimenting with these sooner rather than…

I picked up Avalon ($8.00), a true golden bronze highlighter, and Cheerio ($8.00), a deep cranberry, satin finish blush from ColourPop a while back and now it’s time for swatches and a review. Also, stay tuned to a FOTD using these two.

I was quite hesitant about getting the CoverFX Custom Enhancer Drops ($42.00) after my fiasco with their Custom Cover Drops. After the first time I used the enhancer drops, I was hooked.

The Lancome Glow Subtil Highlighters are very pretty; and yes, as everyone says, they are identical to CoulourPop in formula (cream based) and packaging. The difference would be the cost, $30.00 for Glow Subtil compared to $8.00 ColourPop highlighters, and the colors. I wish I had more ColourPop highlighters to compare, but I’ve had a look and I feel like…

Highlighters seem like such an easy buy, but for me, I have a hard time with them. I never caught on to the strobing trend, but I can’t deny that I am lured by the call of the highlighter. I recently spent way too much time found myself in Sephora looking for a powder foundation (and I found one I’m…

Now here’s a highlighter I don’t use often but should. I had waited quite some time to get my hands on Charlotte Tilbury’s Bar of Gold ($42.00). It’s likely one of the best highlighters out there in my opinion, for the simple fact that when you wear it, it doesn’t look like your face fell in love with Midas. It’s super…
