Ciate Solstice Glow-To Highlighter

Ciate Solstice Glow-To Highlighter ($29.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a pale pink with a frosted sheen that shifted from cooler lavender to warmer pink. The shimmer was larger in the highlighter, and I felt like it made it more prone to emphasizing my skin's natural texture as a...

Ciate Rainbow Mermaid Glow

Ciate Rainbow Mermaid Glow ($32.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a pale, silvery white with a luminous sheen. The strips of colors are rather thin, so it wasn't really pratical to use them individually, and when I attempted to get more of a gradient, they just all seemed to wash...

Tarte Blush Bliss Amazonian Clay Blush Palette

Tarte Blush Bliss 4-Pan Blush Palette ($39.00 for 0.80 oz.) has four shades of warmer-toned blushes--two peach/corals and two pink-based shades. The palette had two really lovely blushes while the other two were less pigmented and shorter wearing, so it was a bit of a mixed...

Ciate Celestial Glow-To Highlighter

Ciate Celestial Glow-To Highlighter ($29.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a medium-dark gold with warm, orange undertones and a frosted, sparkling finish. The consistency was soft, a little dry in the pan, and did not bind as well when I applied and blended out the powder on my skin. I...

Burberry Holiday 2017 Liquid Lip Velvet Set

Burberry Holiday 2017 Liquid Lip Velvet Set ($45.00 for 0.52 oz.) includes four, miniature-sized liquid lipsticks. I'm a huge fan of the formula--it's pigmented, long-wearing, and comfortable to wear. The "downside" is the brand claims they last for eight hours, and they...

Marc Jacobs The Wild One Eye-Conic Eyeshadow Palette

Marc Jacobs Beauty The Wild One Eye-Conic 20-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($99.00 for 0.56 oz.) contains 20 eyeshadows housed in an oversized compact (it was actually harder to open than I expected due to the way the clasp and palette are sized!). Overall, there were a lot of good...

Becca Moonstone Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Mini

Becca Moonstone Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Mini ($19.00 for 0.085 oz.) is a light gold with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. The color seemed ever-so-slightly lighter and yellower compared to my full-sized version. It had excellent...

LORAC Mega Pro 4 Palette

LORAC Mega Pro 4 Mega Pro Palette ($59.00 for 0.45 oz.) contains a whopping 32 eyeshadows housed in a slim, cardobard palette. There were some nicer shades in the palette but plenty of so-so ones and a few total misses. I tend to find that with the exception of the...
