Makeup Monday // Ofra Cosmetics Highlighters

Makeup Monday // Ofra Cosmetics Highlighters 


When I tried my first highlighter from Ofra it was an instant game-changer. I'm sure you've already heard about them or may even have one (or a few because they're that good) yourself, but mine is still worth mentioning since I haven't put them down this summer. You may be aware that everything I have blogged about so far has been me hyping up a product or just showing loved products. With that being said I plan to continue that with only showing adored products (and of course other subjects I love) and keeping my blog a very positive place. Although my thoughts on every product I blog about will be honest, you can check out my channel for more raw content that does involve sometimes not being happy with the outcome. 
Now back to this blog, I have used these highlighters since the beginning of this year. Why it took me so long to try them is beyond me. I feel like the only time Ofra is mentioned in post/videos is for their highlighters or liquid lipsticks and me being one of those people. Branching out to these has made me more interested in what they have to offer and look forward to trying some more from Ofra. They're famous for these highlighters for a reason. They're literal butter and just glide right on. What I absolutely love is the formula. It's not chunky or glittery (I say that about just the three I personally own) and wears amazingly. They're very pigmented so what I recommend for those who want just a light touch of the highlight is to barely dip in and swoop it lightly on the high points of your face, but I'm telling you if you like beaming highlighters you can layer up for an intense glow. It's comparable to Jeffree's Skin Frost formula when it comes to pigment, but I actually find myself using these more than my Skin Frost. I, unfortunately, have textured skin and with that, you have to be careful because certain highlights will empathize that texture. That was probably the biggest game-changer (and the fact that they're absolutely stunning!) for me with these. They glide on so smoothly whether you want it more subtle or beaming. The range of shades they have also make it nice. 
I do want to mention each one I have in my collection with the first one being the one I reach for the most. Rodeo Drive. This highlighter is beautiful. Although this shade would work better with medium-tan skin tones I can say I still love this shade for giving me a subtle glow. It's light enough that it doesn't leave a streak on my face like some highlighters may do to you if they are too dark for your complexion. This just gives the most perfect glow! Rodeo Drive is in Ofra's newest packaging since their "re-branding" on their design. The other two I will mention are in the older packaging. 
Star Island is probably the best shade for my complexion. It is a blinding highlight that will literally make you shine. It is stunning! A little goes a long way with this shade and I will probably never have to buy another because of that reason. If you have a deeper than fair complexion this shade will pull more icy on you. 



Lastly, I have Ofra x Nikkitutorials shade Everglow. I swatched all three down below, but as you can see this pan has three shades going on. The swatch mentioned is of all three mixed. I personally dip into the two lightest shades. Although it beautiful and so handy to have a highlight for different complexions all in one I can say that if you have the other two you could totally pass on this one (that's if you are fair like myself) because those two lighter shades are so close to the two others (Rodeo Drive & Star Island) that I mentioned above. If you have a deeper than me complexion once again you will probably enjoy this more and even the results of this being mixed.

Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial

 Tarte [Make Believe in Yourself] Mystical Dreamy Blues Tutorial  I recently did a review the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself   eyeshadow palette. In that review I shared some looks that I created with it and will be sharing each of those tutorials with you. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I started this look by prepping my skin with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. I used this because my skin was so dry! I followed that up with Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear (with coconut and argan oil). I used that as my primer today.  I also used some color corrector concealer from the brand Aurora in the shade Pistachio. This is a new favorite of mine! I love how well it covers up any redness or blemishes. This was mentioned in my last Ipsy blog (I'll link below).  Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear Aurora Pro Color Corrector (Pistachio).  EOS lip balm I moisturized my lips with some  EOS lip balm and ...

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker

Makeup Monday // JSC Jawbreaker + Mini Breaker I wasn't sure if I'd bring palettes back to my blog or not since they're discussed so much on my channel , but for sake of a pretty photo-op moment, I'm doing this. Ha!  I'm usually over the moon for every Jeffree Star Cosmetics launch and this one wasn't any different. I feel like only Jeffree could make a palette this full of insane colors and get away with it. With that being said when opening the Jawbreaker palette I can honestly say I did feel a little overwhelmed which is weird because I'm not one to shy away from color. I think it can still be challenging finding the right shades to put together to complement each other, but I can say once you dip into the shades that feeling goes away quickly. It's not as intimidating as you think it is. I created four colorful while still bring wearable looks with the Jawbreaker and had fun each day picking the palette up. I love being excited to do ...

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care

Skincare Reviews // Coola, Vasanti, Clinique, Avatara, & I Dew Care Coola Sport White Tea Moisturizer SPF 50   $32 I took this gem with me on vacation and it did amazing! With an SPF 50 I didn’t have to worry about getting my face burnt. Who wants dry, red, and peeling skin when you have videos to film and blogs to get done? Not me! I took my skincare very seriously and this item made it super easy! Although, this has SPF is was just a moisturizer. It also felt just like a moisturizer, not oily, greasy, or film-like at all! It sank right into my skin and kept me protected. I can also say this worked with my sensitive skin well and didn't break me out at all! If you're fair, burn easily, and have sensitive skin I really recommend this product. Even if you don't, I recommend this as a great SPF moisturizer that everyone could benefit from.  Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator $29 I tried this product sometime last yea...
