*QUESTION FOR MY READERS!*

Hey dolls! How is everyone!?!?

I am going to start posting questions for you beautiful ladies since I am CURRENTLY (keeping fingers crossed) unable to do regular posts for you and badly need updated on the beauty world :] Plus, it's fun!

Highlighting products have become an obsession of mine over the past several months. Perfecting that perfect glow just makes all the difference to me for my everyday look! I dislike chunky glittery sparkley highlighters like most and my goal is to always create a glowy dewy look to my skin. I'm a huge fan of the natural tan healthy golden goddess look, so highlighting plays a big role in achieving this look for me. Unfortunately though, my cash flow has not allowed me to experiment with too many highlighters :[. I have heard fabulous reviews of the Bunny Rouge highlighter but have yet to try it. It seems to be the most promising product for what I am wanting to get from a highlighter, according to what beauty bloggers have to say. Has anyone tried this brand/product? Although that is a question, it isn't my question for you today! ;] I have been wanting to try MAC Soft & Gentle, Refined, Moon River, and Perfect Topping too! :/ Maybe one day!

Question: What are your top 5 highlighting products?

They do not HAVE to be labelled as a highlighting product, I know some of you ladies can be very creative/smart! Also, any input on application or additional information would be great with it!

Can't wait to see your responses! :]

My top 5 would be the following,

but remember I haven't been able to try too many!

*MAC Sunsparked Pearl Beauty Powder- I am not sure if they even still sell this because I received it in a swap for one of my clutches. Not to mention, I have been to a MAC counter ONE TIME in my life, how crazy is that!?! It was one located inside Macy's too, so they had limited product. The mall is over an hour away from me, so it makes it very hard. This is my go to everyday highlighter. It reminds me of MAC pigment vanilla but with a lot less gold sheen to it. This stays on from morning til evening :] I badly want to try the other ones from this collection!

*MAC Margin Blush- Also received this in a swap- LOVE MakeUpAlley.com! I normally use this at night time only since it is a very high pigmented highlighter. The "sheen" payoff on this is ridiculously good, one light stroke of your brush is all you need. It's a peachy toned highlighter (my fav.). Stay on power is fabulous too.

*NYC Chroma Face Glow in Sunstone- I had to throw in a cheaper highlighter, good AND cheap- I'm down! For only $4.99 you can also get a gorgeous glow! It has a peachy tone to it, I tend to go for peachy/tan tones. This gives a pretty sheen like the others above, no glitter.

*MAC Vanilla Pigment- Yay, a two in one- gotta love that! This used very lighting on the cheek bones is amazing! I also use it under the brow bone and in the corner of my eyes. It is white based with gold sheen and very easy to blend. One of my fav. MAC products overall.

*MAC Nuance Blush- (Got in swap!)Yes, I know- another peachy toned one! This is very pretty! For lighter toned girls, this would work better as a blush but works great for me over my bronzer!

MAC Global Glow (is gorgeous as well!This one is a warm bronzey highlight shade. I wanted Shooting Star but heard it is identical to Global Glow.

Have a fabulous weekend girls! ♥

LUSH; Another Question for My Lovely Readers :]

Hey dolls! I doubt many still read my blog since I haven't been able to get on here forever. Far from being a choice of mine ladies. I've been wanting to get back to the beauty world for SO long! I haven't even been able to buy any lately, read up on, nothing. Tell me whats new please!? I'm dying over here!

Anyway, I want to try out some LUSH products since I never ever have before. However, I would love it if I could get some feedback from others who have tried different products by LUSH. I am extremely low on money, so I have to make sure I am getting my moneys worth. I still haven't found skincare items for a routine :[ Any advice on that would be wonderful. I heard Neal's Yard is pretty good??? I currently just use Cetaphil (have been for years now though), Apricot Scrub by St. Ives 1-2 times a week, and Burt Bee's Pomegrante face lotion...it supposed to help with anti-aging. It smells delicious but who knows if it will actually benefit me? Has anyone tried this or know if it works well? Other than that, I don't have a mask, toner, nothing. I really want to have a stable routine and I want to prevent aging because fast aging seems to run on my mothers side :[ Boo! Bad genes.

I miss talking with you all!

Leave me some love and I will do my best to get on here when I can.

*QUESTION FOR MY READERS!*

Hey ladies!

Once again, I apologize for being MIA, but it's not by choice. I have a ridiculous mixture of things going on in my life right now and will continue to (good & bad). I miss posting and keeping in touch with you girls VERY much!!!

HOW IS EVERYONE?! This was my "fun free-time pleasure" and it kills me not having time to do it anymore!

WHAT ARE THE NEW BEAUTY PRODUCTS OUT THERE!?! DO SHARE!

I need some help from you ladies too...pretty please :] I am wanting to get more into the skincare thing instead of makeup, since I have so much makeup and NO skincare at all. Your skin is the FIRST thing you should take care of and more important than makeup. I have been lacking greatly in this area. I am realizing how this will effect me in the future and need to take action, IMMEDIATELY! SO, if everyone could please give me some input on some of the best skin products out there to date, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I have zero money to waste (literally zero) and skincare products can be a lil' pricey. I want/need the best of the best! My goal is to prevent wrinkles and have healthy skin overall. I don't have problem skin, just the occasional small pimple here and there. I would say my skin is combination but def. more dry than oily. I rarely have oily skin unless I pack on an oily product :] I guess that would make me normal to dry I guess- who knows! I'm no good at labeling my skin type. I can only describe it! I want to try Neal's Yard products because many girls from the UK seem to think it is the best! PLUS the prices are pretty darn good. I have also read many wonderful reviews on Origins products. Wei East is great but I'm not sure if it is effective long term since I can't find too many people who use her products. I have tried the White Lotus line and loved it, but didn't use it long enough to see results since I ran out of the cream. She is a little pricey for me also since I am pretty broke, but willing to pay for expensive skincare if I know for sure it will be effective. I have a sample of the La Mer cream and have read up on this ridiculously expensive product. Many have said that it has almost the EXACT same ingredients as Niveas cream! CRAZY RIGHT!? It does feel pretty moisturizing but the reviewers are right, the ingredients aren't anything spectacular. Cetaphil is always a great cleanser but don't think it will do much for wrinkle/aging protection. I also am having trouble with what I think might be blackheads on my nose. This is the only part of my face that seems to cause my issues as far as my pores go. GRRRR its so frustrating. I can SEE the enlarge pores on my nose. I try to regularly with my hands squeeze out anything I can (I know that sounds gross) after showering or washing my face. I still can see its not getting everything out though. I think with self-tanner they are getting worse, probably because it clogs them somewhat. They might not even be blackheads, just clogged pores but I am ready to use something regularly to keep them from getting clogged. I can see a difference of some kind (not dramatic or anything) when I use Neutrogena's toner on my nose area AND a mask a couple times. They are still clogged though and I don't exactly love the toner for its drying ingredients. Witch Hazel has some pretty good reviews, has anyone used this? Okay ladies, my time is up and I have blabbed on enough. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT!!!

Thanks so much and I hope everyone is doing well :]

♥ til' next time loves!
