My love of a good highlighter will never die and the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Porcelain Pink doesn't disappoint. This gorgeous soft pinky coral with gold veining looks amazing on the cheeks for a gorgeous glow or all over the face for a shimmery polished look. I'm not sure why I love products like this so much, but that moment when you take a photo and the light hits your cheeks perfectly and glows might just be it. This products retails for $28 and is available at MAC in store and online. I would definitely pick this up if you love a good highlighter. I really don't have anything like it my collection. Most of my highlights are champagne colored, which is what drew me to this pink color in the first place.
This morning got me thinking about how close the holidays really are. The Mrs. and I were getting our chunky on and buying Halloween candy at Walgreen's and I look to the left and all I see are Christmas items. I couldn't believe it! Christmas and it's not even November?! Then it dawned on me. Christmas really isn't that far away. Soon NY will be filled with tourists dying to get a feel of that city-like holiday spirit (and a good sale doesn't hurt either!) If you haven't ever experienced holidays in NY, you don't know what you're missing. NY during the holidays can get intense. I mean, tons of people everywhere, stores filled to the brim and a bunch of nastys who should have stayed home anyway. It's definitely something to experience at least once in your lifetime. You'll get annoyed, probably wanna kill somebody, but in the end, you'll find that awesome gift for the person you love and you'll get a taste of how amazing NY really can be during the holidays.
When it comes to cosmetics or fashion, we're always a season ahead. I'm already thinking about Spring Beauty Collections and February Fashion Week. Just two weeks ago, I was meeting Carol Shaw of Lorac Cosmetics to discuss her Spring line. Since I'm behind on blog posts as it is, I figured might as well get an early start on the giveaways.
I love giveaways. Seriously. If I wasn't a poor, struggling student, I'd have one every week! They're super exciting and I love how excited you guys get when I have one. Woo hoo. I opted for MAC Cosmetics since that seems to be the favorite of most readers. I was going to just a haul a few products and take some pictures, but then I got to thinking. Why not let you decide what you want? It's the same price either way and this way I'll know you'll love it. Not everyone is going to love the lip I choose or the gloss. Here's your chance to decide what you win.
Now this is the moment when I insert a random photo of my childhood at Christmas...
BAM! Haha. I totally love this picture. I look so innocent and check out my dress. WERK! If you have old holiday photos, I'd love to see them. Tweet them to me or post on my FB wall.
Now onto to the exciting stuff.. Good Luck Everyone!! Xoxo
It's hard to keep up with the latest & greatest beauty products even as a blogger. I've decided to start a monthly section of this blog titled, Products of Interest that focuses on items that I've been eyeing and are considering purchasing. Here's my October list. I spy tons of new buys this month!
1. MAC False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara ($19): As a glasses wearer on an everyday basis, I love the ad for this mascara. It definitely makes you want to run out and purchase this. I'm not crazy about MAC mascaras, but I'm considering buying this one.
2. Limited Edition Shu Uemura 24K Gold Eyelash Curler ($24): This cult favorite mascara now comes in gold! I recently was sent the original and it's one of the best I've ever used. If you don't own this yet, I definitely suggest you purchase.
3. Too Faced In Your Dreams Palette ($39): I'm obsessed in love with the packaging on this palette and Too Faced cosmetics has some of the best pigments. For $39, this is a STEAL.
4. Benefit Watt's Up ($30): I've heard amazing things about this highlighter and I love the unique packaging. I'm curious about the blending part on the bottom. It's something I've never seen before.
5. Bite Limited Edition Luminous Creme Lipstick Set of 5 ($25): Bite Beauty is a huge hit at Sephora and came out with this limited edition set of mini lipsticks. It's super adorable and the colors look gorgeous. Never tried Bite? Learn more about them here.
6. Ultraflesh Gold Mascara ($26): I have the original Ultraflesh mascara and it's amazing, so why not try their new one?
Are you looking forward to any products this month?
