Friday Favorites | June Favorites

I'm a little late to the game considering it's already into the second week of July but, here is my June favorites none the less. This has been a transitional month for me because I've switched up quite a bit in my makeup life. I've gone from heavy makeup to lighter products and I've actually started really taking care of my hair. Two things that seem miniscule but regardless they are two things I never thought would be a huge thing in my life. Both things have been huge lifesavers for my hair and skin though, things have been looking so much better lately I'm pretty happy with my new choices. 

Becca X Jaclyn HIll Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector

Jaclyn Hill is back at it again with her collaboration with Becca to bring out her limited edition highlighter, Champagne Pop. In what may have been the world's smoothest highly anticipated launch, this collaborative highlight broke the record on Sephora.com for most sales on launch day. For that alone I just have to say congratulations to Jaclyn for such an amazing accomplishment. I think it's every makeup artist's dream to be able to have their products be so successful. Anyway, I was super excited to get my hands on this little gem because I'm always searching for the perfect highlight. I typically have issues finding ones that will actually show up on my pale little face so super pigmented, glowy highlights like this really get me excited. 

Friday Favorites | Summer Glow

Everyone loves a glow especially during the summer. It's all about sun kissed tans and skin that glows so perfectly when it reflects in the sun it could blind a man. I may not be one for much of a tan but, I love a good glow. In my most humble opinion I think a nice highlight makes your complexion look more awake and healthy. It's a subtle statement that makes a big impact when you hit the light just right. Just enough in all the right places and you'll be catching eyes left and right. 

Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo 1 | Review

Although I've been on my contour game since before contouring was a thing it hasn't stopped me from taking full advantage of all of the new contour products that brands have been coming out with lately. Tons of creams and powders in shades of matte brown, matte highlights, and shimmering highlights as far as the eye can see. It's really a glorious sight and apparently from what I've been really noticing it's been a slept on art for the general public. Sure, contouring might not be for everyone but, it really can make a huge difference. You can make it has soft or as sharp as you would like so really I feel like there is a little something in it for everyone when it comes to contouring but that's just my opinion. 

Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion in Flash

I love a nice liquid highlight, they blend in so naturally and are amazing for achieving a beautiful natural glow. The Smashbox Artificial Light Luminizing Lotion is perfect for blending into primer, foundation, or moisturizer for an all over radiant glow or by itself as a highlight for brows or cheeks. I can't say that I ever use it for mixing into any of my bases because I have a horrible fear of looking like a disco ball but, this is by far one of my favorite cheekbone highlights. It softly reflects light and gives a nice light dewy glow to the skin. The color I have is Flash. The color is a beautiful iridescent champagne; the pinks and golds within it really pop in the light and change with way the light is angled, giving the face a lot of dimension.
