Highlighter Review: wet n wild Megaglo Mermaid Highlighting Bar

BEHOLD the wet n wild Megaglo Mermaid Highlighting Bar 

Availability: This appears to have been discontinued.

Would I buy this again? Not sure.

Notes:  This is described at ulta.com as being a pearl shade. I would say this is a greenish gold with a magenta pink micro-glitter. It's a rather unique  and pretty color for a highlight! Now given that slightly warm green highlighters are actually surprisingly super up my alley and are flattering on my skin-tone, I'm very excited to own this and play with it.
 This feels quite smooth when swatched and I'd say it starts off sheer but can be built up for a more intense effect.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Highlighter Review: Chaos Makeup Sakura Highlighter

BEHOLD the Chaos Makeup Highlighter in Sakura

Availability: This is available individually at $18 or in a set with Striking and Frost for $50; it can be purchased on chaosmakeup.com in the hybrids section.

Would I buy this again? Not sure.

Notes: This is described on the website as a metallic pink. I would have to agree with that, this is a very intense cool-toned, almost lilac, pink with an intense reflective silver pearl and with silver micro-glitter flecks throughout.. These hybrids are technically designed to be used anywhere on the face so this functions as an eyeshadow or lip topper as well.
The formulation is pretty smooth and glides on beautifully/is easy to work with. It has a very glow-y, metallic finish to it.

Nail Polish Review: Ms. Sparkle Northern Light

Ms. Sparkle Northern Light

What the brush looks like:

My nails with 3 coats of polish, all nails have Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamond Flash Top Coat on.:

Availability: It appears that this shade has been discontinued.
Would I buy this again?: Yes!
Notes:     I'd describe this as a bluish purple blackberry-like base with a a pearl that under some lights is purple but under others is turquoise and sometimes even green - I think for once my camera actually captured this shift, it also has some very slight scattered holographic flecks and a pearl that shifts from green to gold to pink.  This has a metallic finish. This is semi-sheer with one coat, but gets to looking opaque and streak-free within two coats, I put on three to really get the intensity and impact of color. 

 
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Highlighter Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Aurora Glow Kit

BEHOLD the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in Aurora

Availability: This palette appears to have been discontinued.

Would I buy this again? Yes. 

Notes: I'll describe each color as I get to it but a few things - firstly I wish it came with a mirror, this palette size and the way it stays open would work well with a mirror, so... there's that. That said I typically don't use mirrors in palettes so... All these shades are heavily frosted/glow-y/shimmery, it's not a glitter but they are somewhat metallic, so if you're not a fan of that this item is probably not up your alley. I think it's an excellent entry point into more colorful highlighters - and I'm a big advocate for color - but without the commitment of something too terribly "out there" as the shades give you a colorful glow in a subtle way and can be mixed with one another to tone each other down. 

Eclipse is described as a pink champagne pearl with a peach reflect. I'd describe this color as having a white gold base with an intense pink shift and gold micro-glitter which, in the pan, makes it look peachy. This color is what I wish highlighters with a pink pearl would be in that most of them come with cool-toned, or white, bases whereas I want something with warmth to it. This color is utter perfection in my opinion. 

Luna is described as a mother of pearl with an icy orchid reflect. I'd describe this as a soft silver with silver micro-glitter. 

Spectra is described as a sparkling lilac pearl with an iridescent blue-green reflect. This has a deep lilac base with an intense pink pearl and pink micro-glitter and while the "iridescent blue-green reflect" described on the site would be beautiful along with this it is nowhere to be found.  Overall this is the only shade in the palette that's a hint dark on my skin-tone - although I'm sure it's lovely on a deeper complexion - so I have to mix it in with one of the other colors to soften it out if I want to use it as a highlighter. 

Helia is described as a yellow gold pearl with a turquoise reflect. I'd say this is a greenish yellow with a warm golden pearl and pink micro-glitter, as in the above shade the "turquoise reflect" sounds lovely but simply isn't there. 

Orion is described as a blue pearl with a purple amethyst reflect. I would say this is an iridescent blue with silver-white micro-glitter. I honestly don't understand what lighting the person who wrote the descriptions was under because this has no amethyst reflect to speak of. 

Lyra is described as a rose gold pearl with a champagne orchid reflect. Generally speaking this is a slightly darker, albeit extremely similar, version of Eclipse and I'm not mad at it because they are my favorites in the palette. This is a soft gold base with a pink pearl (the pearl being softer than the one in Eclipse) and golden micro-glitter.
