Annabelle Perfect Glow & Hololighter highlighters
A few weeks ago I showed you the makeup swap package Stashy went me from Canada and in one go that package give me so much new makeup to play with. There were a few items that instantly caught my eye. Case in point: three Annabelle highlighters. These gave quite some problems as some of…

Becca Prismatic Amethyst highlighter
The flying saucer highlighters by Becca are not only iconic for their packaging, but also for their insane glow. The shade selection isn’t my favorite, which is why so far I only owned Pearl. I know everyone loves Moonstone for fair skins, but it is too yellow for me. Luckily Becca continues to expand their…

Catrice 3D Glow highlighter
Of all the new Catrice products that were released for fall/ winter 2018, the item I was most curious after besides the foundation were the new 3D Glow powder highlighters. That is why I got 2 of the three shades. One of the shades I knew would be too dark for me but the lighter…

Catrice Holographic highlighter stick
In summer, I love playing around with cream products. I truly have a moment every year trying cream highlighter. I don’t know what it is, but I love trying some cream highlighters in the summer time. This time around, I thought I’d try out the Catrice highlighter stick that promises to be holographic. The question…

Laura Geller Baked highlight duo
Laura Geller is one of those brands that some people rave about, but it is definitely not one of the most popular brands out there. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that they are incredibly hard to get when you live anywhere outside the US, but maybe it is just that the brand…

LA Girl Strobelite highlighter
Golden toned highlighters get lots of love and raves from many beauty gurus. Sadly, on my fair skin, they hardly ever turn out looking great. So I was on the hunt for the perfect golden toned highlighter for fair skin. Preferably a good one, that is not too expensive and that lasts well on the…

Maybelline Master Strobing Liquid
In the summer, I tend to change up my makeup routine quite a bit. Last year around this time, I became obsessed with trying liquid highlighters. And so I acquired a few which I have been rotating in and out of my routine for a while now to test them out. One of those liquid…

Essence Holo Wow Sparkle Stick
Cream products are never really of interest to me, unless it is summer. For the warmer weather I love trying out liquid and cream cheek products that I usually stay away from for the rest of the year. Since we’re nearing summer once again, I have slowly been busting out those products again. The first…

Favorite highlighters
Who isn’t a fan of highlighter? I think if there is one makeup product that propelled to the forefront of the makeup loving crowd, it is highlighter. I remember a few years ago, hardly anybody cared or wore highlighter. Now, it is a feature many wouldn’t dream of skipping. I certainly wouldn’t! So these are…

Ofra highlighter Rodeo Drive
Look who finally jumped on the bandwagon? Yep, that would be me. I finally caved and decided to try an Ofra highlighter. These are much raved about and now also come in some additional shades. I went with the OG Rodeo Drive shade. I initially wanted to get Blissful, but after doing some research I…

Kiko Glow Fusion highlighter
Kiko Milano is an Italian brand that I love trying items from. They make one of my all time favorite blushes and their eyeshadow sticks are great too. When I spotted they now also do highlighters when I visited one of their stores, I was curious to try it. I was umming and arring between…

Essence Glow to Go highlighter palette
My experience with Essence palette, be it eyeshadow be it face palettes, is a bit hit or miss. The products are affordable and sadly that means that the quality isn’t always there. However, since the products never truly break the bank, I love trying them out when a new launch rolls around. For their S/S…

Catrice Galactic Liquid highlighter
In the new Catrice line up, it is all about that glow. Now many of the products are dubbed ‘holographic’, but so far none of the products I have tried come even close to being truly holographic. That said, however, that doesn’t mean these products aren’t pretty or don’t work well. Case in point: the…
-
Catrice Galaxy in a Box highlighter palette
When I spotted that Catrice would be releasing a highlighter palette, I was curious. I am not a huge fan of highlighter palettes. Face palettes that include more versatility I can get down with, but a palette just with highlighters is not necessarily my cup of tea. But this promised a holographic glowing effect: the…

Perfect highlighters for fair skin
For a long time I struggled to find highlighters that suited my fair skin tone. Many of the hyped up and raved about highlighters are champagne and golden toned highlighters that are often much too dark for my skin tone. Rather than functioning as a highlight, on me, these highlighters look like a streak of…
-
Make Up Revolution Radiant Light highlighter
Often the products I try are very carefully picked out. I request and receive little to no PR. Most of the items I am just not that interested in, so I’d rather buy products that I love than receive lots of free stuff that I am not remotely interested in. So it hardly ever happens…

Colourpop Super Shock Cheek Hippo
In my recent makeup favorites of 2017, I listed Colourpop Hippo as one of my favorite highlighters of the year. And it was a product I had not yet posted online with a review. So it is high time that I got round to doing it. It was not a product that was love at…

Benefit Dandelion Twinkle & Hoola Lite
When two cult makeup products are released in new renditions, all of the makeup loving world of course has to jump on that bandwagon. And so did I. Benefits Dandelion blush and Hoola bronzer are some infamous makeup products that are loved by many. So when they released the first as a highlight and the…

Essence Holographic highlighter stick
It’s getting darker and darker as we’re nearing the winter season and that means that any which way you can brighten up a day is very welcome. Makeup wise that means whipping out some extra highlighter. And what better way to do that than with a holographic highlighter? Essence has decided to bring out that…

NARS Albatross highlighter
NARS do some awesome cult makeup products. There are the Radiant Creamy Concealer, Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer for starters. Another product that fits into that long line of cult favorites is NARS Albatross. This highlighter used to be raved about, but that was back when highlighting wasn’t really a thing. Such a shame that…

Catrice Strobe to Glow Highlighter & Matt to Cheek Blush stick
Cream blush & highlight is not exactly the first product I reach for in my day to day makeup routine. However, when Catrice released some very affordable options, I wanted to give it a go. Cream and liquid highlight especially have been making its way more and more into my makeup collection this past year,…

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush & Strobe Lighting powder
How come I always take the longest time to review my favorite products? I simply seem to enjoy using them so much that I forget. That is definitely the case with these two products: one of these is an ultimate favorite product. The other product took some getting used to, but now that I have,…

Nabla Shade & Glow highlighter
The highlighter craze is far from over and I am still game when it comes to trying new ones. Recently, I discovered a new brand at a local makeup shop called Nabla. This Italian brand not only sells customizable palettes, but also some stunning products such as eyeshadows, liquid lipsticks and of course highlighters. I…

Becca Champagne Splits | Champagne Pop & Flower Child
I was looking to try more Becca products. After trying their Shimmering Skin Perfector in Pearl, I was intrigued enough to finally bite the bullet and try some more. However, buying the full sized version seemed a bit much. These highlighters are intense and I have plenty of make up so I knew I wouldn’t…

Anastasia Beverly Hills Moon Child palette
Who doesn’t want to transform themselves into a unicorn? That was my first response when I heard about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Moon Child palette. Released at the height of the Flow Kit craze, this palette went a bit under the radar for most people I believe. But when I spotted it and compared it…

Catrice Highlighter Merry Cherry Blossom
Catrice is the brand that just keeps on giving! While I wasn’t all that pleased with some of their newly released lipsticks, there is one product in the new line that has pleasantly surprised me. It’s their newest highlighting powder. If you like some KAPOW glow in your life, then keep on reading, because this…

Lorac Pro 3
In today’s review I have a bit of a controversial one for you: The Lorac Pro 3 eyeshadow palette. Lorac is known for their buttery soft eyeshadows that are well pigmented and apply wonderfully to the eye. So why is this third installment controversial? Because nobody seems to like it. Many of the reviews I…

I Heart Make Up Unicorn Hearts highlighter
Baked make up products are an acquired taste if you ask me. It’s not that I don’t like them, but 9 out of 10 times you have to work hard to make the product do very little in the end. But when I heard about the new I Heart Make Up Unicorn Hearts highlighter, I…

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Pearl
If there is one make up product that is high on many beauty lovers’ wishlists it has to be a Becca highlight. In the past 2 years, Becca has become THE talk of the town when it comes to highlighters and for good reason. Their highlights are intense, incredibly smooth and most importantly: non-glittery. I…

Urban Decay Highlighter Aura
Despite the highlighter craze it wasn’t one of my favorite make up products for a long time. I tried a few here and there, but most highlighters tend to be golden toned and I don’t always find that flattering on my fair skin tone. But that’s when I discovered cool toned highlights and how they…
