My Most Loved Highlighters

Hey all!!

I'm a highlight junkie. I love the look of a dewy, sheeny, cheek bone area; What can I say?

I like strong highlights. That's a personal preference. But each of these can be buffed and sheered out, except for two of them!!

These are my current most used highlights!

From left to right:

Colourpop Perilune - a glittery green
Colourpop Flexitarian - A metallic champagne/peach
Colourpop School Is Fun - A white gold

Coastal Scents Lemon Chiffon - a bluey green shimmer
Coastal Scents Elven Gold - a intense yellow shimmer
Colourpop Honeymoon - a glittery blue

Essence Pure Nude Highlight - a beige subtle sheen
Sephora Brand Baked Luminizor 01 Stardust - A white gold
Make Up For Ever ME-512 - A gold metallic


Are you a highlight fan? What are your favourite highlights?

Favourite Green Eye Shadows

Hello all!!! I hope you all know by now, how I am OBSESSED with lush, shimmery, green shadows!

I have medium, warm brown, eyes that LOVE Green shadows!

These are all of my favourite greens laid out and swatched!

From left to right we have:

Fierce Magenta cosmetics - Calista
MAC Cosmetics - Humid
Coastal Scents - Balsam
Coastal Scents - Dark Golden Olive
Coastal Scents - Forrest Eve
MAC - Sumptuous Olive
Sephora Brand - Hidden Treasure
Shiseido - GR707
Colourpop - Perilune
Colourpop - Hammered


I was planning on writing out what I love and hate about each shadow, but honestly? I'm SO picky about my greens. There's nothing that I DON'T love about these!!!

The powders are all creamy, pigmented, and last all day over primer.
The creams are soft, and blendable, and applied over primer last all day.
The one loose shadow, doesn't have a TON of fallout, and doesn't have fallout throughout the day.

I highly Recommend each of these shadows!!!

My Custom Made Travel Palettes

Hey all!!

Longer term readers will know, I travel quite a bit. So I like to have magnetic bottom palettes ready, that I can just toss into my bag and not have to worry about singles, or finding a palette I can get a couple of looks out of!

First up we have my cheek pallet:

I have two makeup geek blushes in the top left corner (Soulmate and Romance!)  beside them I have a travel sized pan of my beloved Bela Bamba from Benefit (DC) Then the three shadows down the right edge are Coastal Scents Coral Blossom (Orangey/Coral), Coral Rose (More of a fushia pink than coral!) and MAC Cranberry (shimmery burgundy/red)

Then on the bottom left, is a shimmery bronzer from ELF, then two highlight shades the lighter one is from Coastal Scents it's called Lemon Chiffon, and then the gold beside it (my second all time favourite highlight!) is Make Up For Ever ME512.

I like the quality of all of these products. I find them to last on me, and they work well. If they didn't I wouldn't take them traveling haha.


Next up, we have my travel eye shadow palette:

This is a Colourpop 4 pan palette that I took tweezers to and took apart until I was left with a magnetic bottom palette!

Top row we have: Sephora Brand Swan Song (Matte white/light pink), Colourpop High Strung (rose gold metallic) Colorpop Take it slow (Shimmery off white/Champagne) A MUFE Artist shadow that I don't know the name of, It's in the First artist palette, Coastal Scents Barista (Matte warm brown)

Bottom row: A sample sized Lancome shadow (It's a shimmery copper) Colourpop Bel Air (Matte light brown) Colourpop Come and Get it (Pink base with gold duochrome) MAC Sumptuous Olive (golden olive shimmer) And two MUFE Artist shadows (One is a metallic taupe, and the other is a dupe for MAC's Woodwinked!)

That's my travel pallets! My first trip is coming up fast! So I'm looking forward to traveling with these!

Sookie FOTD

Hey all!! Yes, this is ANOTHER Fotd. I'm sorry!! But i'v been really feeling my makeup looks lately! :P


                                                       This is the "whole" look!!

Face: For face I did Maybelline Baby skin primer all over my face, then I patted on a little bit of MUFE step 1 mattifying primer in my T zone. I then applied L'oreal Infallible Total Cover foundation with my warm fingers, I did three dots of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer under my eyes and buffed that out! I then took a big fluffy brush and patted MAC loose Set powder all over.

Cheeks: I contoured using the cool brown in the ELF Contour kit, I buffed Smashbox Halo Blush in Warm Glow onto my cheeks, and highlighted with The Balms Mary-Lou!

This is the close up of the eye look:

For eyes:
I started with Too Faced shadow insurance to prime.
I then took Sephora Brand eyeshadow in Swan Song and set from lashline to brow bone.
I took a fluffy crease brush and buffed Colourpop Bel Air through my crease as a transition
Then I then ran some of Coastal Scents Barista through my crease to deepen and darken
I took my 217 and buffed out any harsh lines
I packed a MUFE Artist shadow onto my outer half of my mobile lid. (I don't know the name, It's from the artist shadow pallet #1)
I patted Colourpop High Strung onto my inner half of my lids (I went slightly over my lid, onto my crease so you could see it when my eyes were open!)
I lightly brushed the line between the two lid shades to blend.
I applied a light coat of mascara to my upper lashes, and two coats to my bottom ones.
I did my small wings AFTER I did mascara.
Then I popped some lashes on!

For brows, I just took an angled brush and ran the darkest shade from my Annabelle brows to go kit through my brows darkening them. And then I lightly ran some of MAC tinted Waterproof Brow set in Brown Ebony.

For lips, I used a plummy purple lip liner, then applied two coats of Colourpop Ultra Glossy lip in Sookie to my lips!!
