CHROMATIC FANATIC

NYX recently came out with a new Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder just in time for festival season! These shades are for fun or editorial looks and not for your everyday glow. The formula feels gel-like, no big chunks of glitter, and best of all gives a fun gorgeous glow! My obvious favorite shades are Snow Rose & Twilight Tint which have the coolest Duo Chrome effect out of all five shades. The orange shade is Synthetica and for some reason the most pigmented. I’m really digging it for my eyes but not so much my face. Crushed Bloom is the bronze shade and the only shade I would say that is the most natural or wearable, especially for the summer!

Lastly we have Lavender Steel which would have honestly been one of my favorites because it’s gorgeous but this color doesn’t really look good on my skin tone so I just won’t be picking this one up as much as the rest. Overall I recommend picking these up if you’re looking for fun highlighters. The packaging is cute and simple, contains 6 grams of product which is not bad at all for just $8. For a more blinding glow, I recommend trying these over their Away We Glow Liquid Highlighters!

Anastasia Beverly Hills X Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

Anastasia Beverly Hills is always killing it with their Glow Kits and their latest one, a collaboration with YouTuber Nicole Guerriero, has no doubt seen massive success. All 6 shades feel inspired by Unicorns and all things Rose Gold. This limited edition palette is diverse with a color for every skin tone, perfect to have in your kit! Most shades are wearable, with the exception of Forever Lit & Daydream which are the more unconventional shades. Forever Lit was the most fun to wear because of it’s lavender reflections! For a beautiful more wearable glow, I've been super obsessed with layering Kitty Kat with either Forever Young or Glo Getter on my complexion.

TRESTIQUE CONTOURING

Look familiar? For those that follow our Blog - these are the previously reviewed Trestique products in action!

First I started with the bronzer in Brazilian Bronze to define or contour the hallows of my cheeks, forehead, nose, beneath my bottom lip & jawline. On the apples of my cheeks,  I used the blush stick in Bora Bora Coral and the highlight stick in Maldives Luminescent on the highest points of my cheeks, down the bridge of my nose, center of my forehead & my chin. Once I was done with placement, I blended them out to banish any harsh lines. Also, because I was doing a full face application, I set my face with powders instead of leaving it as is.

I just love these products - easy to use for anyone at any level of makeup skills!

CONTOURING ON A BUDGET

As most of my readers know I love to contour and recently I've been wanting to contour with a concealer so I decided to purchase this from the drugstore. I am really liking it because the color is perfect, it blends beautifully, and it's very creamy. I apply it to the areas I want to contour such as my jaw, the outlines of my forehead, and of course the hallows of my cheeks... I then blend it out with my beauty blender. Oh and I apply my foundation before I contour with this product. You can also contour before applying your foundation if you want a more natural effort-less look... but I like a strong contour!
