Hey Guys, Today's post is a review on the very beautiful Marc Jacobs O!Mega Glaze All Over Foil Luminizer. I was lucky enough to have this bought as a gift for Christmas by my best friend Anna. You are able to purchase this highlighter from Net-a-porter. ( Although other Marc Jacobs Beauty Items are available at Harvey Nichols.) It retails for £35 and is without a doubt one of the best highlighters that I have had in the last 12 month, if not ever!. This highlighter is described as a warm peachy gold but it is so much more than that. As you move under the light you have a shift in colour from the warm peachiness to a gorgeous gold with even a hint of a rose gold glaze. The golden shimmers really are eye catching. on the cheek. Although it has a shimmer it still looks like it melts into your skin and doesn't show up texture. It applies beautifully and at first gives a gentle highlight but is buildable to be very blinding. The only thing with this highlighter is that it wont suit pale skin tones in my opinion as its a darker highlight with the bronzed peach undertones. I think it would work as a bronze topper if you want shimmer but as a highlighter I think it would be to dark. It is perfect for my medium olive skin tone and I think it would also look beautiful on darker skin tones. I love the sleek gold packaging, its slim and perfect to travel with although very large, with a pan size of 10g you really do get a lot of product for your money! I give this a 10/10 from me, although it is slightly pricier it really is worth the money for such a gorgeous blinding highlighter which lasts all day looking perfectly. You get a lot of product for your money and even down to the packaging it feels luxurious. A must have for any highlighter collector like myself! A huge thank-you to my friend Anna again for such a gorgeous gift! If you would like me to do a post all about my highlighter collection then drop me a message and let me know! Until Next Time,

Hey Guys, How are you all? I feel like I haven't done a post in ages! The festive period is always one that I enjoy and I loved being able to take a few weeks with family and friends. I was very lucky to have some gorgeous gifts over Christmas including this amazing Juvia's Place The Warrior Palette. This palette is inspired by the beautiful Dahomey Amazons of Africa, inspiring the front of the palette's packaging. It shows gorgeous golden and bronzed warriors! My mum bought this for me from BeautyBay.com it was only available for a short amount of time in December. It since has been out of stock, but retailed for £30. This palette has 9 eyeshadows, 6 metallic and 3 matte shades. As with all Juvia's make up the shadows are creamy, pigmented and the formula is excellent. We have a variety of neutral and golden bronzed shades in this palette, from white golds to darkened browns. This palette is a dream for an neutral lover (meee!!) The 3 matte's are just as creamy and as easy to use as the metallic shades, All the shadows pack a punch and you only need a gentle touch. They are extremely pigmented and are very easy to blend and use. They would be perfect for beginners as well as a welcome addition to any make up artists kit. When using the shadows they blend beautifully and with little effort causing barely any fallout or kickback which is a massive plus to me. The shadows are long lasting and look just as beautiful after 12 hours as when they are originally applied. The metallic are foiled and therefore you can apply them both with your finger or a brush. If you wet the brush slightly with Mac Fix Plus then you really do get a hard hitting metallic which looks beautiful! I also have been using a few of them as highlighters and they work amazingly. I am completely in love with this palette, it's a neutral lovers dream! Although you might have a few similar shades this palette really is perfect from the formula to the pigmentation. I give this palette a full 10/10 and highly recommend you purchasing it when it becomes available again or even ordering it straight from Juvia's Place. Here's a quick look I did over Christmas with the gorgeous gold taking centre stage! Until Next Time, |
