I missed my monthly favorites last month, because I really didn’t have any, lol. I did have one- using a shimmery blush as a highlighter also- for instance, Wet n’ Wild’s Pearlescent Pink. It’s a gorgeous peachy pink that adds some gold shimmer. Actually, that led to an obsession with cheek products which has continued into this month. Ready to see them? Here goes:

MAC Plumfoolery blush- This was my first MAC product I ever bought and I love it. It goes nicely against any skintone, like my fair-to-medium complexion. It’s got very fine shimmer sprinkled lightly throughout so it does add warm up your face a bit.
Revlon Pure Confection highlighting powder- This was limited edition from last year’s Revlon Pure Confection collection and I was lucky enough to find it on clearance at my Walgreens. I am so glad I did! It has gorgeous mint green, pink, and a hint of copper-y bronze-ish golden veining. If you wear it by itself, the pink does show up enough to be a legit blush, and it’s finely milled so it doesn’t make you look like a disco ball.
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation- Check out my review here to see what I have to say about this lovely gem!
Copper shade from Victoria Jackson palette- I ADORE this because it has “spiced up” my boring neutral-eye look. Sometimes I’ll put this in the inner corner and other times over a dark brown in the crease.
Anyways, I’ll be posting something later this week about this little treasure :) It doesn't look metallic in the pics below bu it definitely has that look.

I have a few MAC blushes, but the price just doesn't match the quality. My jane and wnw blushes are softer and more pigmented. My favorites this month are mostly high end, I feel bad posting them!
ReplyDeleteI really like WnW Pearlescent Pink but I actually use it straight as blush. It is too pigmented to be highlighter! But yeah, definitely one of my faves too... that Revlon one looks awesome!!
ReplyDelete@PoorCollegeStudent- Sorry to hear about your bad experience with those blushes :( I like Plumfoolery because it's pretty unique- I just can't find a drugstore blush with such purple tones!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could do a video on them? I would still love to see them!
@ndoodles- I use it as a blush/highlighter in one- I don't need to use a highlighter because of it! :) Yes, it is completely gorgeous- I wish they could make it permanent so everyone can have one!
Pure Confection looks amazing!
ReplyDelete@Heather- Thanks! I love the pinky glow it gives! :)
