Favorites: Highlighting and Illuminating

I think that between my Highlighter Addiction Wishlist and the recent swooning over the MeMeMe SunBeam you might have gotten the slight hint about the serious obsession I have for highlighters.

As I mentioned in the post about the MeMeMe SunBeam , I'm a firm believer that a highlighter can do so much for your face! It also is one of the most multipurpose products I own, as I can use them from eyeshadow to primer to liptint (yes,I also did that with the MeMeMe SunBeam ).

By highlighter I do mean every product that adds some extra light and shine to your face, so it's not going to be limited to one type of product.

For example, as you can see above, I included shimmer powder, bronzer, illuminating primer, highlighter and some bronze&shimmer cream.

The Bronze & Shimmer cream from Yves Rocher was actually the first thing I got in the "adding sparkle" department. I didn't know too much at that point and their shop was close by, but I was quite happy with it.

The Bronzer is Elf and again, it was the first bronzer I tried. Truth is, the color fits my skin really well and I haven't found a bronzer to give me the same effect so far, so I'm sticking with it.

The Shimmer Powder I must admit...I don't know why I got it. Maybe because it was on some ridiculous sale and I figured "hey, maybe one day  I'll use it for something". I have yet to use it.
But it can add a nice touch to your face, I am sure!

The Face Shop is a South Korean brand and I only once got my hands on some of their products, when my mother was in Seoul. Needless to say, it's not a week-end trip and in Europe you get few Asian beauty brands, this not being one of them. The little pot contains a pearly white pigment that looks gorgeous in the inner corner of your eye or under your eyebrow for some beautiful highlighting.

The L'oreal Lumi Magique is a primer in itself but it can be used for some subtle illuminating on your cheekbones. The most effective spot to add a highlighter is the bridge of your nose. It will have the maximum effect and will clearly lighten up your face, but make sure you apply it evenly and blend it in at the edges and going up to your forehead or you might look like you hit a bright wall, nose first.

And this brings us to the amazing MeMeMe Sunbeam. It's the perfect highlighter and the color blends incredibly well with my skin tone. It instantly gives a gorgeous glow and even my tired eyes look more awake. I recommend you read my full review about it Here to see what it also looks like on skin.

August Favorites!

Can't believe it's been another month already! I feel like I just did the July Favorites post and here I am doing the next one. If spring comes just as fast, we will have no problems.

Here is what I've really been liking during this past month. Some I have just discovered and already added them to the 'much liked' pile, some favorites have stayed but I figured it would be useless to post them again, so here is a post of the favorites you have not seen yet.

MeMeMe Beat the Blues Sunbeam Highlighter

As it happens, it was just yesterday that I posted about this product and you can read everything HERE.What I am willing to say again and again is that I've been wearing this a lot ever since I got it and I am incredibly satisfied with the color. I'm a fan of things looking natural on my face and this does a great job with that!

BarryM Aqua Glitter

After the first time I used it, this has instantly become my favorite glitter. It's been an almost permanent resident on my nails. Now you might wonder what it looks like. Wonder no more, as you can admire it in all of its glory right HERE.

Apricot Oil

I cannot begin to describe how perfect this oil works with my skin. My face has been looking better than ever since I started using it. I've stumbled upon it by accident to be honest, and I have not regretted buying it for a moment! You can also read all about the amazing benefits it has, in this POST.

Catrice Mr. Copper's Fields Eye Shadow

I do find this to be the perfect summer shade. A fine copper glow that makes your skin look beautiful, especially with a bit of a tan.If you're curious what it looks like worn on my eyelids, then you're click away HERE.
For me, it is definitely a favorite shade!

Eyeko Fat Brush Mascara

How do I even begin to describe this beautiful thing?  The more I've been using it, the more I started liking it.

First and foremost, it's a Fiber Mascara . Click on the link to see why I am so completely and utterly in love with Fiber .
And when it comes to the Eyeko Fat Brush, it comes with all the things I love AND with the Eyeko Shield. What is that you ask? Only the most clever invention EVER!  And the more I've used it, the more I've managed to get the mascara on flawlessly! 

What have your favorites been this month?

MeMeMe Sunbeam Highlighter

A while back, I did a post on the Highlighter Addiction I seem to exhibit as I think that a well chosen highlighter can do much more than tons of foundation or other layers for the look of your face. ( This comes from someone who never uses foundation)
In that post, I was swooning about the Benefit SunBeam. Well, good news is, I finally found it!
Bad news is, the color looked like a carrot that had played with glitter. Needless to say, I was a bit bummed out about it.

But my salvation came soon! I was reading a blog post about how MeMeMe Cosmetics have an alternative version to the Benefit Highlighters and I managed to get hold of it really easy thanks to Mihaela's kind heart

Meet: MeMeMe Beat the Blues SunBeam

I'm a bit of a sucker for liquid highlighters and this one fits right in!
Same application as the Benefit range, and I'd dare to say, with a much better color!

The brush makes it super easy to apply anywhere you want  and very precise at that.

I've been using it continuously and I'm sure it's gonna go in my August Favorites!
It went on my cheekbones, under my eyebrows and even on my lips! May I say, it's the best looking lip color I've ever had!
I'm super satisfied with it and for me, it wins in a direct battle with the Benefit SunBeam.

 Here's the color and the lovely glow it gives. The glow may look subtle, but you'd be surprised how effective it is once it goes on your skin!

All in All

It's nothing but Plus Points:

Ideal Color
Great Highlighting
Perfect Price! ( if you compare it to other similar products,this one only goes for around 4£ )
And it satisfies this Highlighter Addicted little heart!

If you have the chance, I say you should absolutely try it.
