ELF Studio Baked Highlighter

Hey guys!!!

I have been on the search for a good powder highlighter and when I saw Ashley aka SuperAshley127 and Kathleen aka KathleenLights on YouTube talk about the ELF baked highlighters I knew I had to try them out. I found out they were $3 and I was sold. 



There was 3 shades to choose from, but I decided to go with Moonlight Pearls. I already have somewhat of a bronze highlighter which I will talk about later and I heard that Moonlight Pearls is a dupe to Mary-Lou Manizer from The Balm so that's why I went with this one. I had been wanting The Balm's highlighter for a while and I thought why not this one?

It is a gorgeous champagne color and when I swatched this in store I was impressed at how pigmented it was. 
(Left: Dry Right:Wet)

Could you die at this pigmentation though?! I love the beautiful glow it gives to my cheekbones. Depending on my mood I will apply it wet or dry.  When I use it wet I spray my brush with the ELF Makeup Mist & Set and then apply it to my cheeks. I even use it on top of a cream highlighter to also make it pop even more.

This product last a long time on my cheeks, but it does last longer wet and on top of a cream highlighter on me. I apply my makeup at 5:45am and it only starts to fade a little bit at 1pm. To me that is a great amount of time before fading for a product that is just $3. 

Overall I am so in love with this product! I don't see myself without this product in my collection. If you are into highlighters I do recommend you to try this out. 

Have you guys tried this product out?? What are your thoughts on it?? What are some of your favorite ELF products?? 

P.S. If you guys don't watch the two girls I mentioned in the beginning you definitely should. I am obsessed with their videos and if you love tutorials, lip swatches, reviews, and more then these girls are definitely the ones to watch! I actually met Ashley at IMATS and she was very sweet.

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I ...

Battle of the Eye Primers

Hey guys!! I have oily eyelids and I struggled when I was younger with my eyeshadows and eyeliner creasing. At the time I never understood why. I went into sephora a couple years ago with my best friend and asked "how can I stop that from happening?" That's when I was introduced to eye primers. My first ever eye primer was the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I have been testing out 6 different eyelid primers and out of the six only two did not work for me. I decided to do this blog for the people that have that same issue as me and to show you guys what options there are out there in the make up world from drugstore to high end.   I tried the ELF Eyelid Primer, Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, Mary Kay eye primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, Too Faced Shadow Isurance, and BareMinerals Prime Time Primer. I'm going to start off with the one that was the worst one out of all of these. It was the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer. $4.99 ...

Aveeno ultra calming makeup removing wipes

Hey guys!!! I received the Aveeno makeup remover wipes as a gift! Finally I was able to stop using the horrible wipes that I was using before!! These wipes are amazing! They smell so good and everytime I take one out I have to smell it before I use it on my face. They are very moist and they remove most of my face and eye makeup. I always go with a cotton round with another makeup remover no matter which wipes I use just to make sure everything is off. I don't know if they remove waterproof mascara since I am not using one at the moment. Most IMPORTANTLY it did NOT break me out!  I looked online on walmart to see how much it was and it is around $7. I probably will purchase this myself later on down the line.
