Looks Like It’s Going To Be a Strobing Holiday Makeup Season

holiday makeup highlighters

July is on the way which means many makeup and beauty brands are going to start holding events to introduce their Holiday 2016 Makeup and Beauty Collections. So yeah, you might not be ready for that! I know I’m not but the fact of the matter is you’ll likely be hearing about Fall 2016 very, very soon! Sephora recently had an in store Fall 2016 Preview. And already Too Faced Fall 2016 and Urban Decay Fall 2016 has been leaked across Instagram from a variety of different people like Wende Zomnir and Jerrod Blandino. Soon after Fall, the Holidays 2016 Collections will be right in your face.

One of the biggest trends (that never ever wants to go away) you’ll be seeing with Holiday 2016 Makeup Collection is highlighters.

Kiko Desert Dunes Trio Baked Blush Review & Swatches

I’m actually kicking myself for only getting one as I love this formula. It’s a rather delightful way to add warmth as well as color to my complexion without the added dullness or an orange, muddy finish that bronzer alone sometimes gives me.

The powder is actually made up of three different shades that when blended together add warmth, radiance, and color to skin.

Take a look!

Why I Shopped the Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale Online

Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale

So, I hit up three different Victoria’s Secret stores this week with my best friend Mattie to take advantage of the Semi-Annual Sale and we came out of the experience empty handed. I have to admit there is nothing in the world like scoring a haul of goodies from Bath and Body Works and Victoria’s Secret’s Semi-Annual Sale without spending a ton of cash on it!

I enjoy the Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale but I have to admit I like the VS one more. I just like Victoria’s Secret line up of fragrances much, much more than the ones at Bath & Body Works.

Sadly, after skipping through three different stores my friend and I were quite unhappy for a number of reasons.
