Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops: The Hyped Up Highlighter You Might Need

Cover Fx Custom Enhancer Drops in Moonlight Review and Swatch

Oh boy, do we have a winner on our hands with this one folks. If you've been hiding behind a dial-up connection for the last month or so, you may have missed the launch and subsequent hype behind the Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops. With YouTubers and Beauty Bloggers raving about these little bottles of pure glow, I knew it was something I needed to try and let me just tell you, they completely lived up to the hype.

Tarte Naughty Nudes Amazonian Clay Blush and Highlighter Collection

Tarte New Amazonian Clay Naughty Nude Blush Collection and Exposed Highlight Review

If you've ever read this blog before, you will already know that the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blushes are my favourite blush formula of life. Until a week ago I owned 9 shades, and that collection just gained 4 more and a highlighter thanks to the Naughty Nudes collection! I'm thrilled the brand expanded the range to include some warmer neutral shades, and while they're all gorgeous I have some definite favourites.

This Just In : Kevyn Aucoin Neo Bronzer in Siena

Kevyn Aucoin Neo Bronzer in Siena review and swatches

Occasionally a product comes along that almost looks too stunning to use as if I should never run a brush through it or God forbid my grubby fingers for fear that it will no longer have the appeal it did fresh out of the box. Or, perhaps that is just me, and you all could care less about how pretty a product looks (I doubt I am alone in that thought, though...). When the Kevyn Aucoin Neo Bronzer in Siena showed up at my door, I had one of those, "ooooohhhhhh" moments the minute I opened it. The sleek burgundy packaging gives no hints to the stunning ombre powder that lies inside. My first instinct was to close it up and squirrel it away for safe collecting, as to not ruin the stunning gradient from cream to coral to bronze. Don't worry, I got over that REAL quick and tested it out for you all, you know, in the name of good blogging...

Urban Decay Afterglow 8 Hour Powder Highlighters : Review & Swatches

Urban Decay Afterglow Highlighting Powder Review and Swatch

With brands launching highlighting products everywhere you turn, there's no doubt that the whole strobing/highlighting-to-be-seen-from-space trend is going nowhere. So really, it was only a matter of time before ever trendy Urban Decay launched a highlighting powder worth hyping. Enter in the Afterglow 8 Hour Highlighting Powders*, which come in three shades and we've got ourselves a serious contender for maximum glow factor. 

Getting Glow: Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powders

Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder in Brilliant and Iridescent

I'm sure you've heard the term "strobing' plenty in the last year, heck I even have a full post on it here. So I'm not surprised that rather than just marketing them as your standard highlighter, the Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Powders* have been launched in four shades, and marketed as both wet and dry to appeal to everyone as subtle to 'seen from space' glow factor.  I received the shades Brilliant and Iridescent to try out and have been amping up the sheen to test these bad boys out. 

BECCA X Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop

BECCA Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Champagne Pop Review and Swatch

I can't remember the last product that I saw hyped up quite as much in the grand interwebs as the BECCA X Jaclyn Hill Shimmer Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop collaboration. With the hashtag #HighlightOnFleek spotted all over twitter, and makeup lovers stalking Sephora shelves for the peachy gold hued illuminating powder, I knew there had to be something to write home about. 

Strobing | What The Heck Is It?

What is strobing. Strobing products and brushes. Highlighting.

If you've read or watched any beauty related blogs or YouTube channels recently you might have heard the term "strobing", and contrary to what it sounds like, it doesn't involve wearing a sequined glove at an outdoor rave (side note: are raves still a 'thing'?). So, what the heck is 'strobing'?
