Purchase Pallet Here!

It’s no secret that that BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed is my favorite makeup product ever. Hilighters are my favorite makeup product, and the formula of the BECCA Pressed Powder is my favorite formula of any makeup product that I have used so far. So put those two things together and we have my favorite product on the market right now. So to hear that they were coming out with a holiday pallet with a new shade and two limited edition shades made me beyond excited. All of the shades are gorgeous and unique. The new shade Pearl may be my new favorite shade, I am very pale so I was happy to see a stark white shade. It will be perfect for the holiday season, just looking at the shade and swatching it instantly reminds me of an Ice Princesses. I want to buy a full powder of this but then only have it in the Poured version right now. Champaign Pop, the limited edition shade that Jaclyn Hill created is the perfect shade for all skin tones. I wrote a post about it when it came out here. Blushed Copper, the other limited edition shade is gorgeous. Being a very pale girl I can not wear this as a hilighter, it will look beautiful on darker skin tones, but I will definitely wear this shade as an eyeshadow. I am very happy with this pallet and I think it would be a perfect gift for any makeup lover for the holiday season. Get them quick before they run out, it is a limited edition pallet.

Get a flawless glowing face with L’oréal Lumi

L’oréal

Lumi Collection

Purchase here!

Recently I have been obsessed with the luminous glow and strobing trend. I heard many good things about the L’oréal Magic Lumi Primer, so I decided to try it out myself. When I picked this up I also got the Highlighter (my shade is Ice). I quickly fell in love with these product. I love the look of these products when I use them with nothing else on my face. If I want to go out of the house without a full face of makeup, I will put them on. The primer gives the skin such a natural glow and the highlighter gives definition. These products with mascara gives the skin such a natural clean glowing look, no one will know you have makeup on. And at a drugstore price, what’s better than that?

Too Faced – Soleil Matte Bronzer

Soleil Matte Bronzer

Milk Chocolate

Purchase here!

I am not much of a bronzer girl, I am very pale and never had a use for bronzer in my makeup collection. But, I love this bronzer (I mean personally don’t use it as a bronzer) but I love this product. I use it more as a contour because it is a matte shade. Also, of course the smell, it smells so good (like chocolate) when you open it, the smell doesn’t stay on the face so no worries you won’t go around smelling like chocolate.

September Favorites

September was such a bittersweet month for me. It was so beyond amazing because I had a majority of my concerts for the year happened in September. Then on the other hand it was sad because now they are all over and I started school again this week. But, I am excited to start school again and be back on my school schedule.

Apparel

Gap – 1969 Denim Skirt

I love this skirt so much, love the front button up skirt trend. Perfect skirt for the fall.

Celine – New Audrey Sunglasses

I have a very unhealthy sunglasses obsession. I saw these and I don’t think I have ever loved a pair of sunglasses more.

Makeup

Too Faced – Soleil Matte Bronzer – Milk Chocolate

I really like this bronzer because I am very pale and this is a perfect light shade to bronze and contour with for a pale person.

MAC – Strobe Cream

Love this cream, gives the face a glow that you wont get from any other product.

Events

This month was filled with concerts! I got to see 5 Seconds of Summer, One Direction, Ed Sheeran and my favorite band The Maine. All of them are some of my all time favorite artists to see live. Still can’t believe I got to see them all in a time span of one month, the post concert depression is real.

MAC – Studio Waterweight Foundation

MAC

Studio Waterweight Foundation

Purchase here!

There is a reason MAC is my favorite brand, I am never disappointed with the products they release. I am completely obsessed with this new foundation that they just released. As soon as you put it on your skin you immediately feel that it is so creamy and feels so moisturizing. It skinks into the skin very well and it looks like the foundation is not even there and leaves beautiful natural glow to the skin. This foundation is definitely in trend for the “strobing” “glowing” and “natural look” makeup that is happening at the moment. Everyone who loves a natural light look for foundation needs to get their hands on this foundation. This bottle is also very nice with a easy to use eye-dropper feature. (My shade is NW13)

I loveeee this product and was so excited when I saw that this collection was coming out. I saw it online and it said it was a high pigment gloss and that is exactly what it is. I have been dying to find a high pigment, thick, glossy gloss. Wouldn’t I love to get this in every color… but I picked this shade I love it, perfect for fall (now sold out but they have many more options). You can see in the pictures below how it is super glossy, so if you are looking for that, this is the lipgloss for you.

I saw one of my favorite makeup artist talk about this lip gloss, so of course I had to try it out. I love this lip gloss especially this shade. It is the perfect nude and has perfect high sheen gloss. I think that this is definitely a product that everyone should have in their makeup collection, and should always be in your purse. Perfect product to throw on your lips really quick, have it look perfect and be good to go.

How to get a “Bronze Summer Glow” from Laura Mercier

Laura Mercier

Radiance Bronze Primer

Face Illuminator Powder

A month ago I wrote a post here about a 500 point Sephora gift that I got. I ended up loving many things from that box. One of them was the Radiance Bronze Primer. I started to use this in my everyday routine, so I purchased a full bottle. Then this past week I saw the Face Illuminator Powder (which is a limited edition product) and fell in love with that, it is a beautiful hilighter. So, both of these products inspired me to do a “Bronze Summer Glow” post because that is exactly what you get when you use these together. For me, I think the best way to use these products is with my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer because it has the most natural and lightweight summer look. But, I also use it with my normal foundation as well and it still works.

Laura Mercier – Flawless Skin Face Polish

Laura Mercier

Flawless Skin Face Polish

Purchase here!

This cleansing facial scrub by Laura Mercier is my favorite face wash to remove makeup. It has microbeads in it so it exfoliates the skin taking the layer of makeup and dead skin off. It is very gentle and says that it is suitable for all skin types.
