Stila Rose Gold Highlighter

I realized how much love I am not giving to my highlighters these days! I endlessly (and shamelessly) collect them. I recall Stila's Rose Gold being one of my most adored ones because of the simple and cute packaging and the baked pan.

This is more of a finishing powder but I kind of see it more like a highlighter because of the shimmer in it. And Rose Gold is very fitting for V-day! - the subtle glow, the romantic color (rose and gold is the loveliest combo ever! Am I right?) - absolutely perfect for a night out in town.

Rose Gold is a bit like a champagne shade with hints of gold and peach and swirls of a courser gold color running through its veins. Gorgeous! A fan brush is the perfect brush to sweep this around your cheekbones.

Many people online do not like this particular product from Stila and it's a shame because I found it to be really nice. Not as a finishing powder of course (what the hell were they thinking?!) but as a highlight, it is more than pretty! Texture-wise, it's not as soft as MAC MSF's but the shimmers here are less prevalent and much more sophisticated. 

What are your go-to highlighter(s)? :)

Current Favorite Blushes and other March favorites

I was trying to think of a clever title but I totally failed that o_o I guess this post speaks for itself, doesn't it? Over the past few months, I realized that I am an impetuous blush hoarder. Anything that tickles my fancy, I need and nothing will get in the way. Well, maybe some things... like a budget.

Stila - Make Me Blush

I first saw this blush when other bloggers snagged it for Valentine's Day. It came in a set with the blush, and a lip gloss. It was sold out everywhere by the time I finished reading the reviews... darn. Don't you love the gorgeous multi toned cheek color?  I finally got around to getting just the blush :) It's such an iridescent combination of corals, pinks and peachy gold tones. Extremely pigmented as well! I'm loving it!

The other blushes I'm currently crazy about is the Illamasqua blushes! I've been reading a lot about them and I  realize what a MUST HAVE they are! I bought Katie immediately because i love pastel pinks. Perfect for that hint of color like you just came back from the gym :)

Very true to pan. I adore this color so much. I really want to get Lover and Excite now! They're pretty pricey at $24 each so I have to be careful!

Other favorites...

Stila's It Girl palette - I've been using this a lot because it's a pretty fool proof set of colors. The eyeshadows are really soft and silky and I'm loving the pretty neutrals.

Stila Little Black Dress Gel Liner - I've had this for awhile now and didn't open it until recently. It's such a pretty liner. Fortunately or unfortunately, there is very fine purple and pinkish glitters in it. It doesn't bother me because I find it to be a nice change from what I regularly use. It makes my eyeshadow appear more vibrant and my eyes less tired :)

Dior Show Mascara - Just an intensely dark, very luxurious mascara to have. There isn't much to be said about it because it does what it does :)

Alright, that's it for now. More tomorrow! :) Goodnight!
