Highlighters

Recently I've been obsessed with highlighting my skin. I love the gorgeous glow that only a good highlighter can give me. I want to talk about my favorite ones!

The first thing I want to talk about is the Too Faced "the Bronzed the Beautiful" palette. This is gorgeous. It has three different shades of bronzer for different times of the year and a full sized flat buki brush. I especially like Snow Bunny because it is as gorgeous shimmer on my skin. Too Faced is my favorite brand for cheek products. They make beautiful colors that really work well and the packaging is always to die for.

This is my favorite highlight without question. I use this every day. It is the first product I have hit pan on. When you swirl a big powder brush around this and swipe it on your face it just gives you the most gorgeous sheen. I have never had more compliments on my skin than when I started using this!

Don't be fooled by the color of this product. While it looks very pink in the pan it is very sheer and luminous on the skin. I picked this up during a sale at my local beauty boutique for only $8! I love to use this right above my blush to give it an extra oomph.

Note to readers. This post was composed entirely on my new iPad that I received for Christmas. I have learned a couple things. The camera on the iPad is awful. The quality of the pictures is really not good. I will continue using my phone for all future photos. Also, the format blogger takes on iPad is not ideal. I think I will stick to my computer for all future posts. Does anyone else blog using an iPad?

Christmas Nails 4

This was a really easy look to do. I just painted my nails green (and the ring fingers red) and then put the Christmas glitter top coat on top.

Christmas nail series 3

This look was a little more difficult to do. First I painted my nails green. Then I slowly painted the lines of the silver holographic glitter on my nails to make it look like a garland. Then I used the red and the gold. I dotted them onto my nails to look like ornaments. Overall this was the nail look that I got the most compliments on. I actually have people at the place where I work who always ask to see my nails because I do stuff like this.

Christmas Nails 2


Sorry I've been slacking on posts lately! I grossly underestimated the amount of stress the end of the semester and holiday season would bring. Therefore, I will post all of my holiday nail series tonight!

So this is a really easy look I did. As long as your hand is steady, it is very easy to pull off. I also like this look for when my nails start to chip and I don't feel like redoing them right away. It ends up looking very classy.

All I did was apply the bottom color and then the top color to the corner of each nail. Voila! My fingers looked like little Christmas bulbs!\
