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!

IN THE GLOW

Over the past two weeks I’ve been playing with some Marc Jacobs Beauty products and have fallen in love with their new Glow Stick in 700 Spotlight! The texture is cool and buttery unlike anything else I own and the color is a beautiful BRIGHT white gold. I’ve been wearing it alone without other makeup on my face and over a beat face as the base for my powder highlight and THAT’S when I really fell in love! I apply it onto my finger first and then dab it onto the desired areas I want and it remains dewy so it really catches the powder I place over it. Every single time I wear this product, I get so many compliments on my highlight and that’s all a girl could ever ask for. The packaging is very clean as well as easy to clean although it’s white which is a huge relief. But I think the best part is it suits all skin tones since it has both cool and warm undertones and plus it’s sheer so it looks even more natural. It’s pricey but totally worth it!
