The Estée Edit Flash Illuminator Fluid Powder 'Heat' - Review, Comparison Swatches, and Look

Sometimes it's worth it to brave the MAC Warehouse sale (if you aren't familiar, check out my post/vlog HERE).

MAKE UP FOR EVER High Precision Lip Pencil - Review, Swatches, Looks

Lip liner used to never be a part of my beauty regime.  I used to think that it was for people who couldn't paint within the lines, when applying lipstick.  Well, not only did I find that I had a hard time staying within my lip lines, but I also found that I needed lip liner to give my lipstick something to cling to.

Maybe MAKE UP FOR EVER can help in my quest to have a clean lip look.  They have released twelve lip liners, that fall into three families:  nude, pink, and red.

Here's a little look I put together with some "warm and rusty" Dior picks.

Cover FX Perfect Light Highlighting Powder 'Sunlight', 'Candlelight', 'Moonlight' - Review and Swatches

I love the highlighting trend - I hope it never goes away.  My highlighter collection keeps growing, and with so many formulas, I want to try them all.  They come in cream form, they come in liquid form with a dropper, but my all-time fave is definitely powder form.  I love being able to wiggle my big dramatic fan brush into the product and dust the glam all over my face.  Powder form is always easiest to blend (for me) and it sits so comfortably on my skin.

Soon you'll be seeing Cover FX's powder highlighters.  That's right - you can take three of the colours from the Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops on the go, because they are in a travel-friendly compact.
