Recent purchases....

I said in a previous post that I would review the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfecter "Opal" when it came in and its here!!! Along with some other makeup goodies I recently got. I included two palettes from Too Faced and three shades from the Nars Audacious Collection. Ok let's just dive in. First impression of the Becca highlighter is HOLY PIGMENT. Its definitely more pigmented then any other highlighter I own. I have wore it a couple of times already and I do like it, pleasantly surprised at how great this product is. I would definitely recommend it, it is available for purchase and is not limited edition. On to the Nars lipsticks. I am in love with these! They're a tad pricy but let's be honest I would pay any amount for makeup lol. The packaging is very chic, and its actually magnetic. Pigment is amazing, comes on with one swipe. The finish is sort of like Mac's Satin lipstick. There is a wide variety of colors, but I didn't want to purchase too many without testing a few first. Now that I've tried them I will definitely be getting more colors. Last but not least, Too Faced palettes. I looooove their packaging, they always have the cutest concepts. Also been using these for the past week and I love them. Only thing I wish they had was a matte crease/transition color. Other then that THUMBS UP!

  3. So when it comes to a highlighter, I am confused. Does it go on top of blush OR in place of? Also, when you apply the highlighter with the fan brush, do you use the same fan brush to blend it over the whole cheek OR just the top of the cheek back toward the ear? Please Help!!

  11. Hi! So I've literally tried to get your pallete by all means possible and every time I went anywhere it was sold out. I LOVE your pallete it's amazing and the colors are just perfect I was even contemplating buying the used one from ulta but then thought that was kind of nasty. Is there anywhere I could possibly buy it that you know of? It's not even available on the ABH website. Please please let me know. Btw love your makeup ��
