ULTA FINDS

I needed some retail therapy last week so of course I went to my local Ulta. Here is what I picked up.

Lorac Baked Satin Matte Blush: Velvet Rope

I have heard good things about this blush before and I was just browsing when I saw this color. It is the best fall blush color in my opinion. The perfect shade of rosy bronze to go with all the warm tined eyes and dark lips I've been sporting lately. It gives color without being over the top and leaves a beautiful sheen on the cheeks that makes you look like you've been outside frolicking in the leaves.

Retail: $24 at Ulta

Urban Decay Naked Illuminating Shimmering Powder: Aura

This is without a doubt the prettiest highlighter that I own. This highlighter is the most perfect pinky sheen with golden sparkles in it that give you a glow without making you look like a glitter bomb. When this catches the light it looks like fairies are dancing on your face. I wasn't interested in the original champagne version of this but this Aura color is absolutely amazing. it was hard to capture just how fabulous this is on camera but just trust me, you need it. 

Retail: $29 at Ulta

GOT IT

I was going about my usual business one day last week when I got a very exciting email. Sephora send me a message informing me that the Anastasia Contour kit was back in stock. I ran (not kidding) to my purse and grabbed my card and purchased within about 3 minutes. I have been waiting for this product to be restocked for MONTHS now. I have been playing around with it a little bit since and I like it, I can't say yet if I love it or it's life changing yet. 

The colors are beautiful and they apply nicely. I think I just have to master the art of contouring and highlighting a little better and I have been practicing and getting better. If you are a contouring fiend or makeup hoarder like me I would say that this kit is worth it. I'm just not sure if I will have a use for all of the colors but I will come back with a more in depth review shortly and give you my final verdict.

Swatch & Review: BECCA Limited Edition Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector

I was given a gift card to Sephora for Christmas and I knew exactly what I was going to spend it on. I've had my eye on this beauty for over a month now but just never pulled the trigger. The BECCA Rose Gold Shimmering Skin Perfector ($38.00) is an absolutely stunning highlighter. According to Sephora:

"This creamy powder luminizer is like crushed gemstones in a compact for refined luminosity in any light. The formula features ultrafine luminescent pearls that adjust and become one with your skin so your perfect glow is never lost. Unlike the traditional pressed powder method, which simply mixes and compresses dry ingredients, this proprietary formula is a blend of wet and dry pigments ensuring a balanced application every time. "

I am in love with this product. It does almost feel like a cream product when applied to the skin. This product gives such a luminous glow that makes you look like an angel (even when you may not act like one). I need to check out more from this line. 

Have you tried this or anything from the BECCA line?
