Hello loves.

We all love a good glow and summer is fast approaching! Bring on the sunshine!

I wanted to share my tiny but ever growing highlighter collection because if you ask me summer is the time for an all out glow. I want to look like a highlight goddess.

Let's start from the beginning. The first ever highlight I used was Benefit's Watts Up as it was a mini included in the Bronze of Champions kit. Full review here. *cringes at the old photography*

 This was my favorite highlight for a long time but the more I experiment I find that it's a touch too dark for my pale skin, good thing that this tube is on it's last legs.

 ColourPop Fanny Pack, still one of my favorites. This isn't available anymore. I love a stark white highlight and this one packs a punch. I like to layer Forever Lit from the N.G. glow kit over this to really make it pop but used alone you can make it quite subtle. Review here.

ABH N.G. glow kit. I did a full review on this just a few days ago so I won't go into much detail. My favorite shade of course, shocker is Forever Lit. 

Becca Light Chaser Highlight in Rose Quartz. I am head over heels for this. It's stunning and drop dead gorgeous when reflected in the light. This will probably be the one and only highlight gracing my cheekbones this summer. I picked this up on sale to boot! I've yet to use it on my eyes though but I can only imagine how beautiful it will be.

Okay, so I forgot to photograph one as I didn't even think about it honestly. It's a highlight in an elf contour quad I have. It's a white highlight but unlike Forever Lit and Fanny Pack it's subtle, almost barely there. I'm not a fan and I rarely use it. 

There are so many amazing highlights on the market, I have my eye on a few of the ABH glow kits still and can't wait to get my hands on them.

What's your favorite highlight?

Good morning loves.

I have so many lip products in my collection it's honestly ridiculous. 

What can I say though?

Choosing a lip color is my favorite part of my daily routine. 

It took me a long time to hop on the Liquid Lipstick band wagon and I'll be honest as much as I like them it won't stop me from buying the original bullet lipsticks. As you can see I don't have very many but none the less I wanted to share my ever growing collection with you.

NYX Liquid Suede in "Stone Fox" 

This is the most recent addition to my liquid family. I saw this color everywhere when it first hit the scene. A unique gray shade with blue undertones. On my skin I'd say it leans more towards a khaki looking gray. I'm a sucker for a dark lip and this fits the bills perfectly. I never thought a gray could look so stunning.

Jeffree Star's "Blow Pony"

There is so much drama surrounding Jeffree at any given time but the color selection in his liquid lip collection is absolutely out of this world! These are quite expensive for a Canadian like myself but I would purchase more for the colors alone. Blow Pony is a gorgeous bright lavender, perfect for the summer.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lip in "Outlaw"

This red is S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. Kat's formula is very drying though I find which is unfortunate because I do love her liquid lipsticks.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in "Soft Lilac"

A muted soft mauve color. This goes well with a lot of different looks making it quite versatile. I'd love to try more of the ABH liquid lipsticks as I've been really into her brand lately. Not to mention all the new releases about to launch, hello Subculture!

Maybelline Color Jolt in "Never Bare"

When I purchased this I had no idea it was an exact color dupe for the Too Faced Melted Lip in Melted Peony so now I have two of the same color. It's not a bad thing though because it's a color I really like. The Maybelline Color Jolts are extremely similar to the Too Faced Melted Liquid Lips in packaging, application and formula. So if you're looking for a cheaper alternative I'd highly recommend checking them out!

Kat Von D "Lolita"

A cult classic. I wrote a whole post about this here.

ColourPop Ultra Matte in "Midi"

The Ultra Matte formula from ColourPop is so drying and it pils off my lips in little balls, not a flattering look. Unfortunately though I'm trying to make it work because I love this soft pink nude. I wouldn't repurchase a ColourPop lippie in the ultra matte formula but would love to try their other formulas.

NYX Liquid Suede in "Oh, Put It On"

A deep purple, so deep it almost looks black. Another dark intimidating color, my favorite. I've yet to actually wear this. Like it's counterpart Stone Fox it was purchased at the same time and I just haven't had the chance to test it.

ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip in "Screenshot"

A lovely deep peach. The satin formula is much nicer on the lips than the ultra mattes.  The peach trend this year has really blown up and I'm not complaining.

Too Faced "Melted Peony"

Like I said before the color jolt is a dead on dupe and I love both.

Kat Von D "Mother"

A bright rose pink. Simple with a twist. Not my favorite color but I'll use it up one of these days.

There we have it, my liquid lipstick collection.

What's your favorite liquid lipstick?

Fanny Pack - ColorPop Stole My Heart

I'd heard the hype surrounding the brand Colourpop but never had the urge to look into their products as like always shipping to Canada was outrageous. They recently had a promotion however for free international shipping and I had some unused money sitting in my paypal account which led to my first ever Colourpop purchase.

I got their super shock eye shadow in the shade "Tinsel" which I haven't had a chance to try out yet and their super shock highlighter in 'Fanny Pack".

Say hello to my new favorite highlighter.

Fanny Pack is pure white with silver undertones and is stunning for fair skinned folks like myself.

 

It's a pearl finish and as you can see in the swatch is very subtle and natural looking with a barely there shimmer. Hooray for no glitter chunks!

Colourpop's formula is unlike any other brand/product I've tried, it almost feels bouncy to the touch. I've been unable to make this work using a brush but I don't mind using my finger for application. It's easily buildable if you want people to see your glow from outer space but also can look natural depending on how you apply it.

Being silvery white I find makes it extremely usable no matter what makeup look you may be rocking that day.

I've already almost hit pan so you can clearly see it's been well loved these recent months.

What would you recommend picking up from Colourpop?
