Small Sephora Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I purchased a couple of items through Sephora's website during their additional 20% off clearance items sale.  Both products are things I've been eyeing for a while now, so I jumped on the chance to purchase them at a greater discount.

Smashbox + Vlada Petal Metal Highlighter in Gilded Rose

I've been wanting this since it came out, but I was on a bit of a no-buy at the time.  Everything about this product is gorgeous - the packaging, the shade, everything!

Stila "Shimmering Heights" Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set in Kitten, Cloud, and Twig

Ever since I first saw these liquid shadows around the internet, I've been dying to get my hands on some!  I really didn't want to spend over $20 on one though, so this 3 piece set is perfect.  All 3 shades are so beautiful.

That's all I ordered.  What do you think of these products?  Aren't they stunning?!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

Today's post is very special because I'm going to show you one of my favorite makeup products (palettes!!!), and this is also the last installment of the My Makeup Collection series.  It's a bittersweet moment for me.

My Makeup Collection: Highlighters

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  David and I spent the weekend at the beach with his sister, brother in law, and their two kids.  It was a really nice weekend getaway, and now I'm even more excited for summer to get here!

For this week's MMC I'm going through my highlighters!  I love highlighting my face.  I've only been into highlighting for about a year, but I'm obsessed with it now!  Here's what I have so far.  (Just FYI - these are all very heavy swatches!)

Becca Cosmetics - Shimmering Skin Perfecter Pressed in Champagne Pop
*I looooove this one!*

Benefit Cosmetics - Watts Up

Doll 10 - Cream Highlight in Champagne
*This is a nice cream highlight for a natural looking glow.*

Clinique - Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight in 01 Hefty Highlight

Buxom Cosmetics - Divine Goddess Luminizer

Laura Mercier - Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Highlight 01
*My favorite highlighter right now!*

Temptu - S/B Highlighter in Pink Pearl
*I haven't worn this one yet.  Honestly, it's sooo watery that I'm kind of afraid to!*

Stila Cosmetics - All Over Shimmer in Rose Gold Shimmer
*I don't wear this one.  It's very dark.  It also leaves a stain on my skin.  Even for this swatch picture, I had it on for a few seconds and it left behind a pink stain.*

And those are all of my current highlighters!  There are so many highlighting products on the market now it's almost overwhelming!   What are some of your favorites?

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great week!
