Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Precious Petals Review

Hey all!! Long time no post, am I right?

I'v been SWAMPED with work, and my best friend who lives in the next province, came to stay at my place for a work week. etc. Excuses excuses!

Lets jump into today's review/chat!

First off, I'm sorry I don't have any pretty brand new shots of this highlight. I bought it last month, while in America. And I DOVE into using this the morning after buying it!

This highlight, is a Peachy, Golden highlight. It's super easy to pick up on my highlighting brush, but not TOO much comes off on the brush. It's soft and silky. It almost feels like a baked powder!

I love love how versatile this product is! If I pack it on, it's a pretty blush. If I do a sheer layer, it's a beautiful peachy highlight. I can see this working for a few skintones! Not just fair/light. Remind me to apply this to my dark skinned friend and get back to yall on the results!!

This lasts a good 9 to 10 hours on my oily skin. With minimal fading.

It does accentuate my pores if I put too much on the apples of my cheeks. I will say that!!

Overall: 8/10!

Essence Pure Nude Highlight Review

Hello all!! Today we're going to look at an amazing, cheap highlight!!

This highlight is a light beige, with a low sheen. It's a more natural, and low sheen highlight. Perfect for oily skin, or people who prefer more natural highlights!

Here I am wearing two layers of Essence Pure Nude highlight on my cheeks, and one light layer on my nose and cupids bow.

This is a baked highlight, It's soft, and is easy to pick up on a brush. Totally different than what I think of when I think of baked powders.

This highlight lasts from morning, to when I wash my face at night. I have oily skin. My nose, and inner cheeks are where I'm the most oily.

Overall, this is a beautiful, easy, highlight perfect from Light/Medium skintones, to the deeper end of the Medium skintone range! I personally have not used this on a very deep, rich skintone yet. So I personally can not say what it would look like!!

QUO Prismatic Face Palette + Original Face Palette Reviews

Hello friends!!

Today we're talking about two AWESOME face palettes!

I own the original QUO Face palette, and then the year after that they came out with the Prismatic face palette.

I personally adore them both, and they're both great for travel. But I like the Prismatic face palette slightly more, as it has a mirror in the packaging, and I prefer the bronzer's golden tones in it as well.

Here is pictures and swatches of the Prismatic face palette: 

Blush: It's a soft warm pink It's slightly powdery, but if you tap off your brush it's perfect! It's not hard at all to blend as well!

Highlight: This is a VERY intense highlight. Like, I'm talking even i, queen of the intense highlight need to tap it off and really buff it in. But once it's all buffed into the cheeks, it's STUNNING. And as you can tell, I'v hit pan on this bad boy!

Bronzer: This is my PERFECT bronzer. It's a yellow/golden brown, with warm shimmers/sparkles in it. I wear bronzers as a warm blush shade 99% of the time. So this is perfect for me!! It blends like butter, and wears all day long.


Next, is the Original Face Palette: 

Blush: This is more peachy than the other blush. It's a matte as well. But it blends shockingly well for a matte!!! I like this shade in the spring. It's very brightening.

Highlight: This highlight is a warm golden shade! It's fairly shimmery/glittery. But not as "bad" as the prismatic face palette. It's basically all used up as you can see!!

Bronzer: This bronzer used to be my JAM, before I got the Prismatic face palette. It's very orangey/red toned. And it's powdery. But very velvety and soft!!


Price: I payed $19.99 plus tax for these two palettes!

Amount: 11G of Blush and Bronzer, and 2.9G of highlight in the Original Face Palette. 6g of blush and bronzer, and 3.4G of highlight in the Prismatic. (So the original was/is a better deal. But I prefer the packaging and shades in the prismatic!)

Pros: Soft, blendable, portable, and easy to use!

Cons: No diversity. There's only one palette out currently, so the very fair and the very deep are kinda left out!

ELF Contour/Light Blush Pallet Review

Hello friends!!

The title of this post is kind of misleading, because I didn't know what to NAME this. ahaha.

Today, I'm reviewing My "custom" ELF cheek palette.

If you didn't know, You CAN pop the pans OUT in ELF's cheek pallets. So having owned the Light Blush palette and the Contour Palette, I'v made my own custom thing!

Clockwise, we have:

Cool brown matte contour shade - Very creamy and easy to pick up on a brush and blend out!
Pearly/lightly shimmery white highlight shade - super soft to the touch. It's silky! and not chunky at all.
Matte Plummy Pink - This is slightly powdery in the pan, so make sure to tap your brush. Very pigmented, and it lasts all day on me! One of my favourite shades for blushes.
Matte watermellon pink base, with Silver sparkles - I love this one!! It's a nice coraly/watermellon pink shade, with some silver sparkles. It blends so well, and lasts all day!


Price: $6 for each palette
Pros: Pigmented!! Very vibrant. Soft, silky. Lasts until I take it off at the end of the night.
Cons: Powdery, light skinned people may think they're too pigmented/overwhelming.
Overall: 9/10

My most used/favourite highlights!

It's no secret, I'm a highlight hoe! I love to pack it on my cheek bones. And I own way too many highlights.
