For my Friday Face this week I decided to choose a look that was a bit more bold for me - a warm sunset light golden bronzed eye. Take a look at the how I went about getting this look with the products and steps below!

Sunday Steals | A Gorgeous Highlighter Under $5?

I enjoy luxury makeup and skincare, that's no lie, but this girl also loves a great bargain buy (unintentional yet awesome rhyme alert!) Generally I find some products just tend to be better from higher end brands, and highlighting products are usually in that category for me. More affordable options tend to be higher on the glitter scale, but this little gem is a subtle glowing pearly beige that highlights without looking frosty or like I just stepped out of a 90's rave and comes in under a fiver...

You know, a birthday is a great time to justify things you might hum and haw about regularly. Or at least it is for me.
